Research-Backed Dermatology & Trichology Expertise
I combine clinical research with hands-on dermatology to ensure your skin and hair care plan is grounded in proven science.
As a dermatologist in Bangalore, I often see the effects of sun damage on hair. In this video, I explain how UVA and UVB radiation can lead to protein loss, making hair brittle and dull, and share practical tips for protecting your hair, especially if it's chemically treated.
Here I am presenting my research at the KNOWLEDGE SHARE 2023 conference. I believe that staying engaged with the latest academic findings in dermatology and trichology is essential for providing the best possible care to my patients.
I was privileged to author a chapter on "Smoking and Hair Loss" in a leading medical textbook on hair transplantation. This research explores the direct link between smoking and conditions like androgenic alopecia, reinforcing the need for a holistic approach to hair health.
Receiving a certificate for my paper presentation at the KNOWLEDGE SHARE 2023 event. It is an honor to be recognized by my peers and mentors in the field of cutaneous sciences.
This is the cover of the "Hair Transplantation" 2nd Edition textbook, a comprehensive guide for medical professionals. My contribution to this work reflects my commitment to advancing the scientific understanding of hair loss and its treatments.
I am actively involved with the Venkat Academy, which provides year long web lectures for dermatologists on topics including trichology, peels, and injectables. Continuous learning is a cornerstone of my practice.
About this collection
I do not believe in guesswork. My approach to your hair and skin starts with a deep clinical analysis, including digital dermoscopy to examine your follicular health. Whether you are dealing with hair thinning or skin concerns, I focus on the root cause rather than temporary fixes, ensuring every treatment plan is tailored to your specific biology and lifestyle.
A deep understanding of dermatology goes beyond just looking at the surface. My practice is built on a foundation of continuous research and academic study. By authoring textbook chapters on complex topics like smoking and hair loss, and regularly presenting papers at conferences, I ensure that the care I provide is informed by the latest scientific findings.
When you visit my clinic in Bangalore, you can expect a comprehensive assessment. I look at the big picture—your genetics, nutritional intake, stress levels, and daily routine. For hair concerns, this often involves a manual pull test and digital trichoscopy to differentiate between temporary shedding and permanent conditions like androgenic alopecia. I believe in complete transparency. If a procedure like PRP, GFC, or a transplant is right for you, we will walk through the science of how it works, the protocol involved, and the realistic outcomes you can expect. My goal is to demystify the process so you feel confident and informed throughout your journey to healthier skin and hair.
