Should a doctor do my hair consultation?

Yes, in our view. At GIA Clinics, Dr Sai Santosh does the assessment himself and treats you himself.

What can I ask at a hair clinic?

Ask who does the work, how your donor area is protected, what happens if your hair keeps thinning, and how follow-up works.

Are hair treatments the same at both GIA clinics?

Yes. Dr Sai Santosh works at both Gurunanak Colony and Gunadala, and hair treatments are available at either clinic.

Do I have to decide on the day?

No. You can take your plan home, think it over and contact the clinic when you are ready.

Hair Clinic in Gurunanak Colony, Vijayawada

A hair clinic in Gurunanak Colony, Vijayawada should leave you better informed, even if you decide not to buy anything. Hair care attracts more than its share of big promises and package deals, so it helps to know what a sound first visit looks like. Use this as a yardstick for any clinic, including GIA Clinics on Club Road.

A doctor examines you

You should be seen by a doctor, not only by a counsellor. At GIA, Dr Sai Santosh sees you himself. He is an oral and cranio-maxillofacial surgeon with 14 years of practice and a Masters course in Hair Transplantation.

Your scalp is properly looked at

A glance in the mirror is not enough. Here, a scalp microscope shows hair density and thickness, and how active your hair loss is. Your history, diet and health are part of the same conversation.

You hear more than one option

A clinic that offers only one answer to every problem should make you cautious. At GIA, the options include:

PRP or GFC therapy for thinning with active follicles
FUE transplant for thinning or bald areas with good donor hair
Beard, moustache or eyebrow transplant for facial hair
Waiting and reviewing, when that is the wiser path

You are told what will not work

Limits should be stated openly. Injections will not refill a bald area. A transplant will not stop your other hair thinning. Results vary with donor hair, hair-loss pattern and healing. Hearing this at the start is a good sign.

Nobody rushes you

You should be able to leave with a plan, not a same-day signature. Take it home, talk it over and return if and when you are ready.

Standards are easy to check

Ask how instruments are sterilised. At GIA they are autoclaved and sealed in a pouch until your treatment. The clinic is also certified to ISO 9001:2015. You can read what hair patients have written in their Google reviews too.
