Hi Guys, Since, I tried this solution after going through this particular thread; I woe you guys a review. After calling them I found out they have shifted their base to Mumbai. I had to wait a couple of months before her assistance would book me a date. Visited her on 15th Feb 2012. Now, you would notice that her assistance (was it Nisha?) would not give you the address of the place right away. Says, she is so busy that can't decide where we can meet before 24 hours (kind of vagabond I guess). Now, that poses a big trouble for me. I have to travel from Bangalore and back, the same day and with out the whereabouts there is no way to plan my travel. Anyways, for the first time I planned to stay over night at Mumbai. The place for the first consultation was at Raheja-Fortis Hospital, Mahim West, Mumbai. First meet was only to determine if I'm the right candidate for treatment. Sure enough, I passed. She informed that the area where I had an implant done has a lower chance of regrowth (10-20%). "Other areas we could do something.", she says. 65% at least that is. Now, I asked 65% of what? Answer was too technical for me to understand or remember. Anyways, out of desperation, I booked the next available slot for the actual treatment. Total cost for the first time. Hospital registration - 800 rupees. Her fee - 500 rupees Next month, before the treatment, I had to pay the 20K; in cash. But, why in cash? That's because, hospital does not know of this or does not support. Also, the medicine is not approved by Indian Medical Association yet. More over, she does not have fixed whereabouts. You might ask who is "she", cause we keep hearing about Dr. Debraj Shome who is a "he". Well, he does not do these small things and have delegated it to her wife Rinky Kapoor. She has a mindfully arrogance, peculiar to new doctors who think arrogance garners respect from patients. Anyone from rural India would understand what I mean. Anyways, the cash thing was quite unsettling, but I did as asked nevertheless. On asking for a receipt, a non-legally admissible paper with the amount was provided. The shot, as she calls it, is basically 2ml of the solution mounted on a syringe and pierced all over your scalp. I was advised to keeping taking the next 3 shots, each not more that 45 days apart. She gave me 2 shampoos to be used regularly. 8X and Sebowash, both from Cipla. Sebowash was to be used daily and 8X not more that twice a week along with Minxidril 5%. She was insisting on Finpacia but I did not agree. On my 3rd sitting she asked me is it my 2nd; they keep no patient record what so ever. On 4th sitting, I pointed to her that the solution is not working. She asked what shampoos and what frequency. To my surprise, the doses should have been 8X everyday and Sebowash max twice (I have the prescription that says otherwise) as Sebowash affects hormone and should not be used too much. Well, I done being a subject of experiment and left there never to return again. Since then I have learnt to accept my hair the way it is and to never let myself to be fooled. And, that what I would advice you too. Regards, A Bald Guy
