About this collection
It is easy to mistake temporary seasonal hair shedding for pattern baldness, but they are very different conditions requiring unique approaches. Before you start on minoxidil or spend money on expensive serums, I examine your scalp using digital trichoscopy to identify exactly what is happening at the follicle level. Let's stop the guesswork.
My Approach to Hair Health
I treat hair care as a clinical science, not a beauty trend. When you come to me with concerns about hair thinning, breakage, or scalp issues, my first step is always diagnosis. Whether you are dealing with androgenic alopecia or damage from chemical treatments, I look at the whole picture—genetics, lifestyle, and your daily routine.
Why Digital Trichoscopy Matters
One of the most important tools in my practice is digital dermoscopy. Instead of recommending generic products, I use this magnifying lens to examine your follicular health and identify conditions like dandruff, scarring, or specific patterns of hair loss. This ensures we are treating the actual cause, not just the symptom.
Common Concerns in Bangalore
Living in Bangalore, your hair is exposed to unique stressors. I often see patients dealing with brittle hair caused by high UV radiation and hard water. I provide practical advice on how to protect your hair against these environmental factors, including the proper use of leave-in conditioners and heat protection, especially for chemically treated hair.
Evidence-Based Treatments
- Consultation: A 20-minute diagnostic session to review your medical history and perform a manual pull test.
- PRP & GFC Therapy: I use your own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles, performed under local anesthesia in a sterile environment.
- FUE Hair Transplant: For more advanced hair loss, I perform hairline design and channel creation using the FUE method, ensuring a natural look with minimal downtime.
