Genesis Dermatology is a hair treatment clinic in Chennai for hair fall, thinning, patchy loss and receding hairlines. You are examined by a qualified hair specialist doctor in Chennai, not a counsellor, at our Ashok Nagar, Kottivakkam or Porur clinic.
Tell us what is happening to your hair. We will call back within working hours to confirm a slot.
Hair loss is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Every plan at our hair clinic in Chennai starts with working out which of these you actually have, because the treatment is different for each.
Most common in men
Receding temples and crown thinning, usually gradual and usually inherited. Treatable, but only if it is caught while the follicle is still alive.
Most common in women
A parting that keeps widening and a ponytail that keeps getting thinner, often with no obvious bald patch at all.
Sudden onset
Handfuls of hair coming out two to three months after an illness, a delivery, surgery, crash dieting or a period of real stress.
Autoimmune
Smooth, round bald patches that appear quickly on the scalp or beard. This one needs a hair loss doctor in Chennai rather than a hair product.
Scalp health
Seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and fungal infection all cause shedding, and all get mistaken for ordinary dandruff.
In-clinic procedures
Platelet-rich plasma and growth-factor concentrate, used to support thinning areas alongside medical treatment rather than instead of it.
Not sure which of these you have? That is what the first consultation is for. A hair doctor in Chennai examines the scalp, grades the pattern and tells you whether the loss can still be reversed.
About thirty minutes. You leave knowing what type of hair loss you have, whether it is reversible, and what hair loss treatment in Chennai will cost.
Send the form or call us. We confirm a time by phone, usually within the same working day.
Pattern grading, pull test and trichoscopy, plus blood work if the history points to iron, thyroid or hormonal causes.
A written prescription, the number of sessions expected, the cost, a realistic timeline and a review date.
Almost every patient who walks in has already tried something: a shampoo a chemist recommended, a serum from an advertisement, a package sold at a salon, sometimes a course of tablets nobody explained.
None of that is unreasonable. It just skips the only step that decides whether treatment works: finding out which type of hair loss you have. Pattern baldness, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata look similar in the mirror and need completely different treatment. Treating the wrong one costs months you cannot get back, because a follicle that has been dormant too long does not come back.
That is the whole argument for seeing a hair specialist in Chennai early rather than after a year of guessing.
Distance is a fair reason to choose a clinic. Who examines you matters more. If you have been searching for a hair specialist near me or a hair clinic near me, we have three clinics in Chennai, so one of them is usually a short drive away.
Patients come to us from across the city and from the suburbs. If the branch nearest you is full, the front desk will offer you a slot at one of the other two rather than push your appointment out by a week.
Ashok Nagar covers the T. Nagar, Saidapet, K.K. Nagar and Vadapalani side; Kottivakkam covers Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Besant Nagar and the OMR stretch; Porur covers Ramapuram, Valasaravakkam, Mogappair and the Mount-Poonamallee corridor. Wherever you searched for hair loss treatment near me from, one of the three is close to you.
Patients regularly travel to us from
★★★★★Two years of serums and shampoos. Blood tests here showed my ferritin was on the floor. The shedding stopped in about three months.
Arun P.Porur
★★★★★My parting had been widening since my delivery and I was told to wait it out. Here I was actually examined, and given a plan I could follow.
Priya M.Kottivakkam
★★★★★I was quoted a big package elsewhere without anyone looking at my scalp. Here they told me which sessions I needed and which I did not.

Consultation is charged separately from any treatment. Our front desk will tell you the exact fee when they confirm your slot, so there is no surprise at the counter.
Check the qualification first. A hair specialist doctor in Chennai holds an MD or DVD in dermatology; hair loss is a medical condition, not a salon service. Then ask whether the doctor will examine your scalp at every visit or hand you to a therapist after the first one. At this clinic you see the dermatologist each time, and that is the main difference between a medical hair clinic in Chennai and a chain selling packages.
It depends entirely on the type. Shedding after illness, pregnancy or iron deficiency usually recovers fully. Pattern baldness can be slowed and partly regrown while the follicle is still active, but a scalp that has been smooth and shiny for years will not regrow with medicine. You will be told which of these you are, honestly, at the first visit rather than after a course of sessions.
Often yes, particularly for sudden or diffuse shedding. Thyroid, ferritin, vitamin D and B12 explain a large share of hair fall in Chennai, and no hair loss treatment in Chennai works well while one of those is uncorrected.
Not always. Medication for a nutritional or hormonal cause is stopped once the cause is corrected. Pattern baldness is a long-term condition, so treatment maintains what you keep, and that is explained clearly before you start rather than after.
Usually a starting course followed by maintenance, but the number depends on the grade and how long you have had it. You get the expected number and the cost in writing at the first visit, before you commit to anything.
We assess suitability and tell you honestly whether you are a candidate. Many people who ask about a transplant do not need one yet, and some who want one will not get a good result until the underlying loss is stabilised first by a hair loss doctor in Chennai.
We have three clinics in Chennai: Ashok Nagar, Kottivakkam and Porur. Full addresses and phone numbers for each are further down this page. Parking is available at all three, and each clinic has its own direct number if you would rather call that branch.

One consultation at a proper hair clinic in Chennai is usually enough to know which type of hair loss you have and whether it can still be reversed.
Hair loss gets postponed longer than almost anything else. It is treated as stress, as water, as a shampoo problem, as something that will settle on its own. By the time most people finally look for a hair specialist in Chennai, they have spent a year and a fair amount of money on guesswork, and lost density that could have been held on to.
This clinic was set up to close that gap. Every patient is examined by a qualified dermatologist, not a therapist or a sales counsellor, and leaves with a diagnosis in plain language, a written plan, and an honest estimate of how long it will take. Where hair loss is temporary and needs no treatment at all, we say so.
We handle the full range of hair and scalp work: male and female pattern loss, telogen effluvium after illness or delivery, alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis, plus in-clinic PRP and growth-factor therapy where it is genuinely indicated. Blood work is ordered when the history calls for it rather than as routine, which is what separates a medical hair treatment clinic in Chennai from a package counter.
If you have been putting off finding a hair doctor near me on your phone and never getting further than the search, one consultation is a low-cost way to find out where you actually stand. Send the form above, or call the clinic during working hours.
Every consultation here is with a qualified hair specialist doctor in Chennai: MBBS with an MD in dermatology, registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, a member of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, and consulting in Tamil, English and Hindi. You are examined by the doctor at every visit, not handed to a therapist after the first one.
