I believe in transparent, science-backed medicine. Whether I am on national news panels or writing for major publications, my goal remains the same: educating you on safe, proven hair restoration so you can make informed decisions.

I was thrilled to be featured in The Daily Guardian, where I discussed the growing trend of young men choosing early hair restoration. It is important to educate the public on the proactive and preventative options available today.

The promos are on. I am excited to be featured on ET Now, where I participated in a powerful healthcare panel alongside industry leaders like Dr. A. Velumani of Thyrocare. Stay tuned for the full discussion.

I am delighted to be featured in Republic News India, where I discussed my expertise in delivering natural-looking hair transplant results. My approach is always grounded in a blend of artistry and medical precision.

This news story about a baldness treatment gone wrong in Punjab highlights a critical issue. I always urge patients to consult a qualified, board-certified professional. Your safety is the number one priority, and checking credentials is a must.

About this collection

Media coverage for me is not about personal promotion, it is about using the platform to warn against unsafe, bargain-bin clinics that put health at risk. When you see me on panels or in print, I am almost always breaking down the real science of DHI or FUE transplants and showing what a safe, sterile environment—like the one we maintain at my Sarla Hospital setup—actually looks like.

My appearances in publications like The Daily Guardian and on platforms like ET Now serve a specific purpose: education. Many people struggling with hair loss are vulnerable to misinformation or, worse, dangerous procedures performed by unqualified individuals. The recent case I highlighted regarding a 'free hair camp' in Punjab ending in disaster is exactly why I feel a responsibility to speak out.

Why Credibility Matters

In aesthetics, there is no substitute for training and board certification. When I discuss hair restoration on national television or in industry forums, I focus on the 'how' and 'why' of the procedures. I want you to understand that:

  • Technique is everything: Whether it is DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) or FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), these are surgical procedures. They require medical-grade sterility, proper anesthesia management, and a deep understanding of scalp anatomy.
  • Results should be natural: A good hair transplant is one that no one can tell you had. It is about harmony, density, and long-term health, not just stuffing grafts into the scalp.
  • Safety is non-negotiable: A hospital-attached setup with ICU backup is not an exaggeration. It is a standard of care that should exist for every surgery.

Bringing Global Standards Home

My involvement with global boards like IMCAS and FUE Asia allows me to bring international safety protocols back to my clinics in Mumbai and Pune. When you consult with me, you are getting the same standard of care I teach to other surgeons globally. If you have questions about whether a procedure is safe for you, or if you are worried about the recovery process, these features explain the risks and realities involved. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and safe, whether you are opting for non-surgical therapy or a full transplant.
