My reason for coming here were the results my sister got. So i knew it could be trusted. Thanks to everyone's work!!! Komal RawalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars for the overall experience I had with this clinic; however, I felt disappointed in today's hydrafacial session. First, they charged 1800 for this, and after the session, it felt like it was the same as the peel-off I had two months back. There was nothing new or any difference between the peel-off and the hydrafacial. Second, there was a lot of disturbance during the session; someone kept entering the room three times, and if you give any sheet mask to us, please include this in the hydrafacial instead of charging separately . Please take this as a feedback. Anand AtreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience! The results were visible within a few sessions.
