Were there any challenges that you had to overcome in the beginning?

When I started my work as a Medical Doctor, cosmetic medicine was not very popular in the country.

Therefore, creating awareness and convincing of its benefits was a challenge.

On the other hand, people were reluctant to embrace innovative medical solutions due to lack of knowledge. The perception about laser treatments was not positive sometimes back, as people were misled by inaccurate information and false beliefs. Therefore, it took us a considerable period of time to break such stereotypes deep-rooted in the society and earn the trust.

With our loyal clientele and their testimonials, we were able to successfully penetrate the market and build up a great reputation. Today, the word-of-mouth referrals dramatically contribute to increase our client base. Therefore, many prospective clients come to us with a positive perception already in their minds.
