I would like to share my experience which I got from the Satya Skin, Laser & Hair Transplantation clinic, Pitampura, Delhi. My front side of head was lost many hairs and became the cause of worry to me. I came to know Satya Skin, Laser & Hair Transplantation clinic, Pitampura, Delhi through a friend who already befitted by the FUE technique for the hair transplantation at this Centre. I also took the decision to take FUE treatment from this clinic. I reached and took the FUE treatment in the month of Dec 2013 for the hair transplantation. I am quite satisfied as all my hairs are grown back. What I felt there that they have quintessential approach during the hair transplantation. The Doctor Shaiil is prolific in his profession with prodigious knowledge and most ingenious by practice.
Since last six months I was losing hair like anything. Whenever I used to get up in the morning a bunch of hair used to be there on my pillow. I was really frustrated with my situation. My colleague use to take treatment from Satya clinic so I went with him for a consultation regarding my problem. I met Dr. Shail there. He was a very young and a very well spoken guy. He advised me take PRP sessions. I came after a week for the PRP session. He gave me a Dermaroller and a PRP session which took around 1 hour and everything was very well performed. A very well coordinated staff that took care of all my apprehensions. I got a complete solution for my hair loss problem. Recommended to everybody.
