About Hair & Scalp Treatments
How I Approach Hair & Scalp Issues
I see so many people trying random fixes for their hair, but honestly, you need the right diagnosis first. As a dermatologist who’s deep into trichology (that’s all things hair and scalp), my main thing is figuring out the actual cause of your trouble. Please, don’t go by what you see online - even the fanciest shampoo can’t help if you don’t know what’s wrong.
What Happens When You Come In
- I do a full-on deep dive, checking your genetics, health, habits, and yes, your daily routine.
- I use a science-first approach for everything, from advanced trichology consultation to medicines and lifestyle tweaks.
- We look at your whole picture, not just your scalp, because what you eat and even how you live shows up in your hair.
Hair Loss & Why It Happens
- Pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) is something I see a lot, for both men and women.
- Smoking-related hair loss is real - I’ve even written about it. The more you smoke, the worse it gets, simple as that.
Not Just Hair Loss
If your hair is breaking, feels dull or brittle, it could be from too much sun, heat, or chemicals.
- UV damage hair protection is a must here in namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru).
- Take it easy with the straighteners and dyes; your hair will thank you.
Real Talk
I love what I do, and nothing beats a patient telling me ‘nivēditā mēḍaṁ, avaru tumbā inna cennāge nōḍiddāre’ (Nivedita ma’am, she has treated me even better). That’s why I keep learning and showing up - your hair health is worth it.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Nivedita. Dermatology isn’t just my job, it’s my everyday adventure. Still at The Venkat Center, learning and teaching, soaking in wisdom from Dr. Venkataram Mysore Sir—he’s the real MVP! I get a kick out of research, workshops, and writing chapters about stuff like smoking and hair loss. Biggest win? Co-authoring a paper with my mom, who’s an OBGYN! Real 'mom-daughter goals' moment. Always chasing new knowledge, always sharing it.
My Work
What I Do - I help with acne, pigmentation, tanning, vitiligo, warts, milia, scars, and offer procedures like laser tattoo removal, Hollywood peel, botox, fillers.
No Guesswork, Please - Don’t DIY your skin—come see a board-certified dermatologist for a plan that actually fits your needs.
Personalized Skin Care - Your skin’s not like anyone else’s. I’ll figure out what works for you and build a routine just for you.
Safe & Painless Treatments - From milia removal with needling to safe botox injections, I focus on treatments that are gentle and really work.
