There are many beauty shops with the word "clinic" attached to its name out there claiming to give you a good skin and even better hair. Firstly, one should know to differentiate between a beauty parlor in the name of a clinic and a real clinic. “Beauty parlors in the name of clinics” has one dermatologist and men/women in classy uniforms to convince you they are skilled dermatologist associates, woo hoo watch out. The real clinic has a doctor and a nurse to attend to the patient.
To know the works of a clinic go for a consultation before you enroll yourself for any package and spoiling your skin. Let’s take Kaya for example and step into the “skin clinic” first. You are greeted by the best looking faces you can find in the city or maybe even the country. Then you get a quick sitting with the doctor, they do a skin analysis and show you the deepest and most ugly looking scars and pores on your skin. They force you to take a laser hair removal patch for free, whole cost on them and they go about doing one square inch of your skin whether you want it or not. In the first place you were not even interested in it and you still end up doing something you did not want. Next they are already pushing and you are caught in their marketing skills of selling you the minimum package starting at 10 grand. If you ask for a single sitting they claim you will see no difference and skin is tender and needs care and only in the 5th sitting you will see some change which is exactly costing you 10 grand.
Smooth talkers they are and you’re on your way to book your first sitting in the hope of getting to sport the best skin and dreamily go ahead with one swift swipe of your card which you will regret more and more as you progress through the first few sessions. Only the first sitting is done by a doctor and there is a upcoming doctor associate who is watching the whole process-“show” to experiment on the very next customer who is in for a second sitting and for the first surprise. The doctor who did your analysis and your first sitting is oh so busy with other customers (I never use the word patient cos they are running a business) or did not come in for the day at all. Anyway you decide to go through it as you will not get another appointment in another two weeks and you don’t really know that the associate who stepped into your doc’s shoes just learnt her first lesson one hour ago.
The so-called associate-in-charge has no background on skin or even gone through a crash course in dermatology. And as for the following sessions you will have some more associates practicing on your skin as you cant ask for your last associate as she has other clients now and wont be free and again would you want to wait for another tow weeks to go through the same ordeal. Believe me even booking for a session after two weeks will bring you a new associate. Each of them, other than the doc, have no clue on your skin or what sessions you have been through in the previous sittings. I did not get the difference I was looking for, and when I confronted the doctor with all that I went through she said, you might want to go through another set to get the best looking skin. We did not promise you clear skin in 5 sessions and another set would give the best looking skin without a spot. I nodded my head in agreement and walked out of Kaya promising never to go back.
My skin stayed the same with proper care for two months and it was getting back to what it was before going to Kaya. I finally walked into a referred dermatologist’s clinic soon and I am glad I did. It costs me lesser, I am in good hands and also the doc is aware of what sessions I went through and advices on what works for my skin. I have better looking skin with one session every 20 days or 30 days. All you guys and gals wanting to wear your best skin by going to Kaya, I have one word of caution, “BEWARE”. Don’t waste your money, honey!!!
