I have been a victim of AHS Delhi, I have undergone their Laser Therapy and wasted my Rs. 1,09,000 plus taxes for no result. They had cheated me. During my fight with them to get a refund, I had developed an understanding regarding this industry and how AHS is looting people. AHS guys will offer you a ten months (or more) Laser Therapy which they claims its a patented procedure, which is actually not. When I asked them to show me the patent number and patent documentation with US Patent department, they were not able to do so. Second they gave me a formula (kind of oil) to put in my hair/scalp, which is nothing but Minoxidil (brand name- Mintop 5% or 10%) for Rs. 1,09,000 and lied to me that its a research of their own. (Mintop is easily available over the counter for some Rs. 500 to 900). Mintop is a solution which helps to regulate blood vessels on the scalp and in some way it gives good result for the first few months but a point of time comes when it also stops working. (Google Minoxidil, its side effects for better understanding). Minoxidil is not advisable to children. Secondly they will ask you to visit studio 3-4 times in a month to sit under a machine which expose ur scalp to laser rays, problem is AHS has bought laser machines from China and u never knows the wavelength of laser rays falling on ur head. If you want to see their medical know how and how good they are, just ask them the wavelength of laser allowed for human exposure, they wont be able to tell you. Moreover, laser rays has zero to 1% effect on the follicle stimulation and brings no result for hair regrowth. I had wated my 10 months, when there was no result they asked me to take more sessions, which is completely impractical and out of medical dictionary. For their Non Surgical procedure, which is nothing but a WIG imported from Hong Kong, from some Bonnie, they again lie for it and say that it comes from US/UK/Australia lab. they say they will take 3-4 months to prepare it for you however if you insist them that u need it within a month and its very urgent, they will say OK we will provide you in a month but on extra cost, How come it will be manufactured with in a month now when systematic operating time is 3-4 months, will they compromise the quality or something, no cause its readily available and they will put that WIG on ur head which was ordered for some one else, so NO POINT saying its being manufactured especially for you and giving you the exactly same/identical Human Virgin hair. For Surgical procedure, FUE/FUT, first of all they will promote FUT cause Dr. Manoj Khanna, or Dr. Amit Gupta dont have expertise on FUE method. If you insist then they will say yes for FUE which will be done by Dr. Amit Gupta, who is a beginner for FUE surgery. Means you become the guinea pig (experiment animal) for them to test and try and improve their skills on ur head to become the expert for FUE. FUT is a method where in they will cut ur scalp with a sharp scalpel, and lot of blood oozes out. They have cameras installed in every nook and corner, even in Operation theatre, ask them to show you the live surgery, or go and stand in the OT to see it how painful the procedure is. Even u cant see it when they inject local anaesthesia in ur scalp, its 4-5 full syringe injection. They can only plant 300-400 graft,and they would claim that they have transplanted 5000-6000 follicles. Ask any plastic surgeon, and they will tell u that its not possible to transplant 5000-6000 follicles in one session, its always grafts which is transplanted (Each graft contains 2-3 follicles). So they are not the experts, but they cheat people with fake pics of Jacues Kallis, and Saurav Ganguli. For Ganguly they will even show you the contract which is fake. We guys fall prey due to swanky interiors and our need to check the hair loss. FYI Hair loss can never be stopped, its a medical condition which could only be delayed through Minoxildil 10% but due care and medical practioner advixe has to be taken before using tropical/oral minoxidil. It will work for the first few months and then stop working later on as nothing goes inside of our skin. WIG/CLIP wig/ better than AHS is available at many other companies at a much much lower price, you only need to check which company suits your needs. For Surgery, you need to meet the experts from AIIMS or any other better hospital to seek advise for FUE or FUT. FUE is better when done by robots. however if there is Alopecia arreata/totalis/universalis, nothing will work, one has to wear a wig coz thats a disease and nothing works. If you want to check this Dr. Manoj Khanna credentials (AHS much touted surgeon), google his name, you will find his own clinic in Kolkata, and there he perform surgery at Rs. 30-40 per follicle then why he charges for the same procedure at Rs. 100-150 per follicle at AHS. Now you can undrstand the nexus and crookedness of these AHS and Manoj Khanna. Dr. Amit Gupta (of AHS) is a local Delhi surgeon who again runs his private clinic in South X Delhi, and he performs surgery at Rs. 10-30 per follicle at his clinic. Dr. Gowda (of AHS) is a local Bangalorian and he has done not more than 10 surgeries. At his private clinic Dr Gowda charges Rs 10 per graft (means 2-3 follicle). Now just imagine, if they have told you for 5000 follicle, you will end up paying Rs. 7.5 lakhs @Rs. 150 per follicle rate for Dr. Manoj Khanna where as same will cost you Rs. 2 lakhs for 5000 follicles @ Rs. 40 per follicle at his Kolkata clinic. So why AHS is charging 5.5 lakhs more for no extra services and facilities??? Coz they are thugs and dacoits. AHS Dr.Batra's A's Clinic they are all the gang of crooked people and they take advantage of our psychological bent of mind towards HAIR and our physical appearance. I dnt think that you will RISK ur health and Life for the sake of appearance until and unless you really have met the right surgeon.

WIGs or Hair piece u can choose from various stores available in India for 1/10th of the price of AHS and same qualtiy. (At AHS Nothing is imported from US/UK/Australia lab, its a lie from AHS people) Sanket Shah, CEO of AHS himself wears a Wig (clip based wig), Why he doesn't wear a SKIN system from his own comapny??, coz he knows it SUCKS).

At Advanced Hair Studio there is no REFUND policy, they will never listen to you once you sign up for the procedure and give them the money... BEWARE

Dont go there, all ad campaings is gimmick and paid to these cricketers. NO result. they are sharks

BEWARE of Advanced Hair Studio, They are SHARKS -NO RESULTS- TOTAL LOSS Few questions for the people who are suffering from Hair Loss and want to go AHS, please ask for these questions and do ur homework before u end up losing ur money for no results. 1. AHS claims they have patented procedures, every patent has its number, please ask for that patent number for any of the procedure they offers. 2. LASER device, which they sell for Rs. 25 K to 50 K, its nothing but HAIR MAX, google it and u will find it at much cheaper price online, Advanced Hair Studio claims to be their manufacturing, actually they outsource it from HAIR MAX and sell it on double triple price depending upon the customers ignorance. 3. Ask them to show the NON SURGICAL product before paying them, which they claim to be a skin, actually its a WIG on net, which sticks on ur scalp with a local glue. Total discomfort. It is not from UK /US lab which they falsely claim, its from some local guy in Hongkong called Bonnie, google him too and you can order ur WIG on much cheaper price directly from him. But talk to their existing client and meet them personlaay, dnt fall prey for any reference call they arrange over the phone, its their sales consultants who talk on the phone with diff names. SANKET SHAH (Gujju Businessman/Studio Manager/CEO AHS) himself does not wear his own product that is Non surgical skin, he wears a WIG which is on CLIP. Why he himself doesnt wear that glue/adhesive WIG (Skin as per them) coz its a TOTAL DISCOMFORT. 4. Moreover when u reach them first time, Sanket Shah or any other crap Sales Consultant would tell u price for LASER therapy for Rs. 1,09,000 plus taxes promotion rate and CARD rate Rs. 140,000. Ask them why there are two diff rates at the same point of time for the same therapy. Show ur interest in the LASER therapy but dnt sign for it, with a week u will start receiving mails and calls from Client Relations department for closing of the deal, take ur time, tease them and they will start offering you more rebates/discounts in the name of Corporate discount/ Chairman's Quota and it will even come down to Rs. 75,000 for the same therapy which they were pitching in ur first meeting at Rs. 1,,40,000. Now imagine the price differentiation and try to understand which LASER therapy are you trying to undergo. What health effects (hazardous) its going to ask you. 4. Ask these sales consultants and Sanket Shah, regarding his subject matter qualification, they are quacks, none of them have undergone training at Australia as they claim, if yes , where are the certificates, any International Medical Training association issues certificate when a person undergo some training, but they cannot, to the greatest irony most of these people dont even has a biology background. Just imagine to whose hands are u giving ur life. 5. Regarding FUE/FUT method, Dr. Manoj Khanna and Dr. Amit Gupta, they sometimes produce results and sometimes they end up in total disaster. Dr. Manoj Khanna is a local guy from Kolkata and he has his own clinic at Kolkata, google his name and u will find his details regarding Kolkata, there he charges Rs. 25-40 per follicle, where as same doctor when plays with ur life at Advanced Hair Studio, he charges Rs.100-150 depending upon how fool a customer is. 6. Advanced Hair Studio, in Australia only provide two products 1. LASER 2 Non Surgical Hair piece (WIG) then how come AHS India can also give u Surgical treatment, the answer is simple, its a franchise in India and not a branch , again a lie that u will hear at AHS india from SANKET SHAH, they are just brokers for some crook doctors in India. Visit their Australian website or talk to any Sales Consultant of AHS Australia, they will tell 100 problems associated with surgical procedures as they do not sell it over there, but at India you will hear thousand positive points for Surgical and Non surgical, Just think how can the same company has two different approach for two diff countries. 5. Before signing ASK them the refund policy of the company (Their is NO REFUND POLICY at Advanced Hair Studio coz they are sharks and would swallow ur money), this shows that their procedures doesnt work. At last SANKET SHAH who claims to be (CEO/Studio Manager) to have handled Australian Studio, ask him to show his appointment letter, He cannot coz he is the franchise owner of AHS (Gujrati businessman) and has no training or subject knowledge for hair transplant, he has mugged up a well written script and recites it every time with all customers with same full stops and commas, if you interrupt him during his recitation he will request you to ask questions later and let him finish first, WHY coz he will forget the mugged up script. He is no doctor, no professional, no bio background and if someone him are u a doctor he says, " Are you down with fever or any disease, hair loss is only a condition, that idiot doesnt knows that Alopecia of anykind is in itself a disease and genetic disorder.

I started experiencing Hair Loss from 2006-07, its genetic. I happened to visit Advanced Hair Studio, and fall prey in their trap, they looted Rs. 1,09,000 plus taxes from me in lieu of Laser Therapy. They provide you some stupid laser therapy which actually never works, and charge you for Mintop 10% which is easily available at medical stores for some hundred bucks in Indian rupees. They are the greatest cheat one can ever meet. They are the liars. For their FUE and FUT method, they charge you per follicle. Their surgeons Dr. Manoj Khanna and Dr. Amit Gupta are partners in crime and also crook, they transplant only 500-1000 grafts (each graft contain two or ,more hair strands) and they charge for 5000 or 6000 strands. For each strand they charge from a range of Rs. 150 to Rs. 75 depending upon your financial status. Yes Financial status, they do look at which car you have come from, which wrist watch you are wearing and which brand you carry as your mobile. Depending upon your status they pitch you the rates per follicle. You would never be able to count how many strands they have transplanted, and they charge you Rs. 5 lakhs to 6 lakhs extra without doing anything. Their CEO is Sanket shah who also claims to have undergone Hair transplantation, which is an out and out lie. He wears a hair piece and to give body to his hair which is on clip, where as he claims that he had done two procedures one hairtranspalnt and other non surgical hair treatment from Advanced Hair Studio. Which is biggest lie. If you wish contact me at my email id mail2gm@sify.com and I would give you all the contacts of all other customers of Advanced Hair Studio who has been cheated and suffered.

Advanced Hair Studio – Review I am a 26 year old. My family has a history of genetic hair loss. Loosing hair at such an early stage, I decided to look for anti-baldness treatments and finally underwent a surgery at Advanced Hair Studio Clinic in New Delhi. My experience which was not good at all is explained in detail below. I would request all of you who are considering similar treatment to read this and feel free to talk me @ plus nine one - nine nine five eight eight nine one six eight one before making a decision. First Visit I went to visit Advanced Hair studio for a solution to my problem of balding. I was impressed to see the great interiors and nice decor. It looked like a very friendly and amicable place. I met with Sanket with my parents. Sanket started with his rehersed sales pitch. He looked at my hair and said my requirement was for about 6,000 follicles after which I could have a full head with bounce, volume and shine. He suggested that I take a laser therapy with a 1 operation and that should solve my problem. There were two doctors on their panel who them suggested. One charged Rs 70 per follicle and other Rs 130. However, if I decided by the end of the month there could be a discount of Rs 20 on this. Overall, he gave solid sales pitch to convince that this would be the best place. He showed the contacts and photographs of all the celebrities they had treated including the personal phone numbers of a few he had. However, now I realize in the hindsight there were few details he never gave: • The full name of the doctor and his credentials • There was no opportunity to meet the surgeon personally • There was no mention of what kind of therapy each one of their brand ambassadors had undergone. Even minor treatments were projected full hair gain • There were no patient references given • There was great attempt to keep the patient from not talking to the doctor Plus I was promised: • I could return to work next from surgery • It would be a painless affair • I would not need to take any precautions and life would be back to normal after 24 hours. There was a great force in booking the operation date as soon as possible to get the best rates. Next Day on Call We discussed internally and came to the conclusion and we wanted to see the results the laser therapy before undergoing surgery. Sanket called up and we conveyed out decision. On hearing this, he completed changed his words. He said that I MUST go for surgery and not for the laser treatment as it would not yield good results in my case. He backtracked on his initial pitch. But based on his recommendation of 6,000 hair follicles I decided to undergo one surgery of 3,000 grafts in 1 sitting and evaluate the results. Now, here is where the mess starts. On the Operation Day The doctor came in. He was not even aware of who the patient was. He had not looked at the pictures. There was no photographs he was shown. He was also quite disinterested in overall what was communicated. There was major gap in what was told to him and what was promised to him. Apparently, he was told I would be given 4,500 grafts and 3,000. This meant our surgery costs escalated by 50% or 75,000 without even any prior information. He told me that there was NO USE OF GOING FOR 3,000 follicles. He marked on my head showing how much 3,000 follicles would cover. On the day of the surgery this misinformation campaign was happening and we were told that if we do not go through with the surgery today I would have to forfeit my deposit of Rs 50,000. We were angry and frustrated. More than anything doctor told me to get a good hair cover I need 15,000 follicles over 4 sittings. This was completely contrary to what Sanket had informed me about 6,000 follicles over 2 sittings. There was no sync in what the doctor was saying and what was promised and that too 15 minutes before the start of the procedure. Plus, I was extremely unhappy with the amount of cover that even 4,500 follicles would give me. I am apprehensive that I might not as good as I do right now and might have to undergo a second round only to overcome the patchy work of the 1st sitting and hence shelling out so much money. I was now realizing the real truth behind the glamorous looks of studio and the real filth inside and how they mislead their patients at the last moment. The advanced hair studio people were really upset with the doctor for letting me know about the 15,000 follicles. But I decided to go for the surgery only because I had made up my mind and I did not want to loose the money that I had deposited and all the arrangements that have been made. Surgery lasted 6 hours and only overseen by doctors. He gave the local anesthesia and part of it while most of it was handled by him which from the looks of it did not look like a team of doctors, but more like a team of semi-trained nurses. Doctor would continuously take phone calls in the middle of the procedure and also walked out several times for upto 30 minutes to meet clients and people. After having spent so much money, I expected him to at least be fully attentive at the time of surgery. Also, I realized that the Doctor practised at several different places and in fact I could have had the same procedure done by the same doctor at much cheaper rates at the other places he practices. I was paying a great premium without getting any extra service, but only misinformation. Also, I had no way of ensuring that the doctor really gave me 4,500 grafts or less. I could have been 3,000 and I would have no way to know. Now, here is the second big whammy. Post the surgery, I was informed: • I needed to ear a head cap and aband for the next 72 hours • I had an injured head so could not go out • I was put on heavy anti-biotics and sedatives. • I could only work from home for the next few days • Based on the transplanted hair might have to wear a cap for next 6 months -12 months because the patchy transplant. • I should not do any kind of gymming, running and workouts for the 3 weeks • I should not anything thats makes me sweat • I should stay away from alcohol and smoking • I should keep my head as much away from pollution, dust and heat All this meant that: • I could not attend to some very important official meetings and presentations where I needed to go • There were major lifestyle changes I was not informed about I was not informed any of this before I underwent the procedure. Plus, there is always such a huge disconnect between what the doctor says and what the studio promises that I am agast, angry and disappointed. Conclusion • I was prepared for 3,000 follicles but was forced to undergo 4,500 follicles in extremely coercive environment • Doctor and Clinic never speak the same language • I was misinformed about my requirement: 15,000 against 6,000 • I was misinformed about the post surgical precautions • I will not recommend going to Advanced Hair Studio to anyone because they will give you a great sales pitch and convince you, but truth will come as come to the day of surgery • I am still extremely unhappy and sceptical about the results I will get after the first round For people who are planning to undergo such a procedure, here is my advice: • Do not go on the swanky interiors and great sales talk: Always talk to the doctor who will perform the procedure • Be clear on the requirements • Talk to other patients to see if you are prepared for it • It is a big decision which will require you to alter your lifestyle, so be prepared
