Question 1

What is Hermosa Hermonia?

Accepted Answer

Hermosa Hermonia is a premium aesthetic studio in Andheri West, Mumbai, founded by Dr. Nehha G Punia.

Everything is doctor-led, personalised and performed in a private, medically-equipped studio.

Question 2

Who is Dr. Nehha G Punia?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Nehha G Punia is the founder and lead cosmetologist at Hermosa Hermonia with over 10 years of clinical experience in advanced aesthetic medicine. She personally oversees every consultation, treatment plan and clinical outcome. You are always treated by the doctor herself — never delegated to an assistant.

Question 3

What sets Hermosa Hermonia apart from other clinics in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Three pillars define us: (1) Doctor-led care — every treatment is planned and supervised by Dr. Nehha G Punia personally; (2) Medical-grade protocols — sterile, single-use tools and clinical-grade products; (3) Genuine personalisation — no generic packages, every plan is tailored to your specific skin, hair, and goals. We also prioritise honest advice — including recommending when a treatment isn't right for you.

Question 4

Is Hermosa Hermonia a certified clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hermosa Hermonia operates under professional cosmetology standards with certified medical equipment, sterile sterilisation protocols and a medically qualified founder. All treatments follow evidence-based clinical guidelines. Our practitioners are trained and regularly upskilled in the latest aesthetic techniques and safety protocols.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

We have delivered over 5,000 treatments to satisfied clients since our founding — including working professionals, entrepreneurs, media personalities and families from Andheri West, Versova, Lokhandwala, Bandra, Juhu and BKC.

Question 6

How do I book an appointment at Hermosa Hermonia?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way is WhatsApp on +91 75065 11336 — you'll typically receive a confirmation within 2 hours. You can also call us on the same number, email HermosaHermonia@gmail.com, or submit a request through our contact form. For weekends and peak times, we recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance.

Question 7

Do I need a consultation before booking a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a consultation is mandatory before your first treatment. Dr. Nehha G Punia will assess your skin or hair, review your medical history, discuss your goals, and design a personalised protocol. Consultations are complimentary for first-time clients.

Question 8

Can I book same-day or walk-in appointments?

Accepted Answer

We occasionally accommodate same-day bookings subject to availability, but we strongly recommend pre-booking. Walk-ins are welcome for a consultation but treatment slots require prior booking. Please call or WhatsApp to check current availability.

Question 9

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Arrive with a clean face (no heavy makeup) for skin consultations. Bring a list of current medications, known allergies, and any relevant medical reports (e.g. thyroid panels for hair loss). Your photo ID may be requested for records. No other special preparation is needed.

Question 10

What is the minimum age for treatments?

Accepted Answer

Most aesthetic treatments are recommended for clients aged 18 and above. Some treatments (such as acne management) may be offered to clients aged 16–17 with a signed parental consent form and parental accompaniment. Dr. Nehha assesses suitability during consultation.

Question 11

Can I bring a guest or family member to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are welcome to bring one companion. Please notify us in advance so we can ensure comfortable seating in our reception area. Treatment rooms are private — your guest will wait in the lounge during the procedure.

Question 12

Is the initial consultation free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your first consultation with Dr. Nehha G Punia is complimentary and carries no obligation to proceed. It typically covers a detailed skin or scalp assessment, a review of your goals, and a personalised treatment recommendation.

Question 13

How long does a consultation take?

Accepted Answer

A first consultation typically runs 20–30 minutes. We take time to understand your concerns, lifestyle, medical history and expectations before recommending anything. Follow-up consultations are usually 10–15 minutes.

Question 14

What happens during a consultation?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Nehha begins with a detailed assessment — often using a magnifying device or dermoscope for precise diagnosis. She reviews your medical history, current routine, medications and lifestyle. She then explains what's causing your concern, recommends treatments, outlines expected results, timeline, costs and aftercare. You have full opportunity to ask questions before deciding.

Question 15

Can I have a video or phone consultation?

Accepted Answer

We accommodate initial video consultations for clients travelling from outside Mumbai or who need preliminary guidance before visiting. However, in-person assessment is required before treatments. Please WhatsApp us to arrange a video consultation.

Question 16

What if I disagree with the recommended treatment?

Accepted Answer

Completely fine. Dr. Nehha's role is to advise — not to pressure. You are free to consider the recommendation, get a second opinion, or discuss alternatives. We provide written treatment proposals for you to review at home. No treatment proceeds without your informed, written consent.

Question 17

What is a Hydra Facial and how is it different from a regular facial?

Accepted Answer

A Hydra Facial uses multi-step vortex technology to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse customised serums into the skin at a cellular level — producing immediate, visible results with zero downtime. Unlike a traditional facial, it delivers active ingredients under controlled pressure for deeper penetration. Safe for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Question 18

How often should I get a facial treatment?

Accepted Answer

For maintenance, most clients benefit from a Hydra Facial once a month. For active concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation or anti-ageing, intensive treatments (MNRF, peels, RF) are typically done in courses of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance.

Question 19

What is MNRF and is it painful?

Accepted Answer

MNRF (Micro-Needling Radio Frequency) delivers radiofrequency energy through micro-needles at precise depths, stimulating collagen and elastin while remodelling existing skin. Topical anaesthetic is applied 30–45 minutes before, making it comfortable. Most clients describe a warm, prickling sensation. Redness typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

Question 20

What is the difference between RF and MNRF?

Accepted Answer

RF treatments warm deeper dermal layers through surface-contact electrodes — excellent for tightening and lifting. MNRF uses micro-needles to deliver RF energy precisely within the dermis, producing more significant collagen induction — recommended for acne scars, open pores and advanced ageing. MNRF is typically more intensive with a slightly longer recovery.

Question 21

What is a Vampire Facial (PRP)?

Accepted Answer

A Vampire Facial uses your own blood — specifically the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from it — reintroduced to the skin via micro-needling. Because it uses your body's own growth factors, allergic reaction risk is negligible. Excellent for skin rejuvenation, radiance, fine lines and uneven texture.

Question 22

What are chemical peels and which one is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Chemical peels use controlled acid concentrations to exfoliate and resurface skin at varying depths. Superficial peels (Party Peel) give instant glow with zero downtime. Medium peels (Yellow, Black, Anti-Acne) address pigmentation and acne scars with 2–5 days of mild peeling. The right peel is always determined during consultation — we never proceed without proper skin assessment.

Question 23

How long do facial treatment results last?

Accepted Answer

A Hydra Facial glow lasts 3–4 weeks. RF skin tightening builds over 3–6 months after a course. Chemical peel results for pigmentation last 3–6 months with sun protection. MNRF results for scars improve over 6–12 months as collagen remodels. Your aftercare routine significantly affects longevity.

Question 24

Can I wear makeup after a facial?

Accepted Answer

After a Hydra Facial, mineral makeup can be applied the same day (though we recommend waiting a few hours). After deeper peels, MNRF or laser treatments, avoid makeup for 24–48 hours or as specifically advised. We provide a detailed post-treatment guide after every session.

Question 25

What is GFC therapy for hair and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced hair restoration therapy. A small blood sample is processed through a specialised kit to produce a cell-free, high-concentration cocktail of growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF) that is injected into the scalp. This wakes dormant follicles, reduces shedding and stimulates new growth. It is more potent than traditional PRP with less inflammation.

Question 26

How is GFC different from PRP for hair?

Accepted Answer

Both use blood-derived growth factors, but GFC has significantly higher concentration of purified growth factors with fewer red and white blood cells than traditional PRP. This produces greater efficacy, less post-treatment scalp soreness, and more consistent results. GFC is generally considered the next generation of PRP.

Question 27

How many GFC sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most clients undergo 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for the initial course. Visible hair fall reduction is typically noticed within 4–6 weeks. New growth and density gains build over 3–6 months. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 months thereafter help sustain results.

Question 28

Is GFC or hair mesotherapy painful?

Accepted Answer

Topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp before injections, making the procedure comfortable. Most clients describe a mild prickling or pressure sensation that resolves within a few hours. Hair mesotherapy uses lighter needles and is typically well-tolerated.

Question 29

Who is a good candidate for hair restoration?

Accepted Answer

Ideal candidates include men and women with early to moderate thinning, androgenetic alopecia, post-pregnancy hair fall, telogen effluvium (stress/illness-related), hard-water or nutritional-deficiency related loss, or early alopecia areata. A microscopic scalp analysis is performed before any treatment to confirm diagnosis.

Question 30

Can women get GFC or hair restoration treatments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Female pattern hair loss, post-pregnancy hair fall and diffuse thinning are among our most common concerns. Protocols are specifically adapted for female vs. male pattern loss — with different growth-factor dosages and scalp approaches calibrated to women's physiology.

Question 31

Why does Mumbai specifically cause hair fall?

Accepted Answer

Mumbai's hard water (high TDS) strips the hair cuticle and weakens follicles. Combined with chronic stress, erratic sleep, nutritional deficiencies and high pollution, many Mumbai residents experience accelerated thinning from their 20s. These are highly treatable causes — particularly with early intervention through GFC, mesotherapy and exosome therapy.

Question 32

Can I wash my hair after GFC or scalp mesotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Wait 24 hours before washing hair after GFC or scalp mesotherapy to allow growth factors to be fully absorbed. After 24 hours, wash gently with a mild sulphate-free shampoo. Avoid aggressive massage or heat styling for 48 hours. Full aftercare instructions are provided after every session.

Question 33

How does laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal delivers concentrated light energy targeting melanin in hair follicles. The heat generated destroys the follicle at the root while leaving surrounding skin undamaged. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions target all follicles across different growth phases.

Question 34

How many laser hair removal sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Most clients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for significant, long-lasting reduction. The exact number depends on hair colour, skin tone, treatment area and hormonal factors. Dark, coarse hair typically responds fastest. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed annually.

Question 35

Is laser hair removal safe for Indian skin tones?

Accepted Answer

Yes — with the right laser technology and expertise. Indian skin (Fitzpatrick types IV–VI) requires specific wavelengths (typically Nd:YAG 1064nm or diode lasers with appropriate parameters) to prevent burns or pigmentation. At Hermosa Hermonia, all laser parameters are individually set by Dr. Nehha after assessing your skin tone and hair colour.

Question 36

What is RF body contouring?

Accepted Answer

RF body contouring uses focused energy to heat the subcutaneous layer and tighten overlying skin. It stimulates collagen synthesis, firms loose skin and can help reduce localised fat deposits' appearance. It is not a weight-loss treatment — rather a body-toning complement to a healthy lifestyle. Comfortable, with no downtime.

Question 37

What is an IV Glutathione drip?

Accepted Answer

An IV drip delivers pharmaceutical-grade antioxidants, vitamins and hydrating agents directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for immediate bioavailability. Glutathione administered intravenously in therapeutic doses can produce skin-brightening, anti-ageing, detoxifying and immune-boosting effects. Every IV drip at Hermosa Hermonia is prescribed and supervised by Dr. Nehha G Punia after a personalised assessment.

Question 38

What are body glow peels?

Accepted Answer

Body peels use mild-to-medium chemical exfoliants over larger areas (arms, legs, back, underarms, intimate zones) to address hyperpigmentation, roughness, body acne and uneven tone. Our full-body glow peel is a 90-minute treatment that leaves skin visibly brighter and smoother. All peels are customised to your skin tone and concern during consultation.

Question 39

What is microblading and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow technique using a fine blade to deposit pigment in the upper skin layer, creating hair-like strokes that mimic natural brows. Results last 12–18 months before gradual fading. A touch-up session is recommended at 4–6 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect the outcome.

Question 40

What is the difference between microblading and ombre brows?

Accepted Answer

Microblading creates individual hair-stroke patterns for a natural, groomed look — ideal for sparse or thin brows. Ombre (powder) brows give a soft, shaded effect like a filled-in brow using makeup. Ombre lasts longer (18–24 months) and may be better for oily or acne-prone skin.

Question 41

Is tattoo removal at Hermosa Hermonia safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Q-switched laser technology that shatters tattoo ink into micro-particles cleared by the body's immune system. Sessions needed depend on ink colour, depth, tattoo age and skin tone. Black and dark blue inks respond fastest; green, yellow and white require more sessions. All procedures include a patch test and detailed pre-care guidance.

Question 42

How long does lip tint or cheek tint last?

Accepted Answer

Semi-permanent lip tint typically lasts 2–3 years before significant fading; touch-ups every 12–18 months maintain vibrancy. Cheek tint lasts 1–2 years. Longevity depends on skin type, sun exposure, skincare products and lifestyle. A colour boost session restores vibrancy when fading is noticed.

Question 43

Is there downtime after microblading or permanent makeup?

Accepted Answer

Minimal social downtime — the treated area will appear darker and slightly raised for 7–10 days during healing. Mild scabbing is normal and should not be picked. Colour lightens 30–40% once fully healed at 4–6 weeks — this is normal and accounted for in the initial design.

Question 44

Are cosmetic treatments at Hermosa Hermonia safe?

Accepted Answer

All treatments are performed following evidence-based clinical protocols by Dr. Nehha G Punia, a certified professional with 10+ years of experience. We use medical-grade equipment, sterile single-use needles and consumables, and pharmaceutical-grade products. No treatment is administered without thorough consultation and written informed consent.

Question 45

What are the common side effects of aesthetic treatments?

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience minimal side effects. Common, expected reactions include temporary redness (1–4 hours), mild swelling (up to 24 hours), slight sensitivity, and micro-crusting for energy-based treatments — all resolving quickly with the aftercare guidance provided. More significant reactions are rare and addressed with our complimentary clinical follow-up policy.

Question 46

Who should avoid or defer treatment?

Accepted Answer

Conditions requiring deferral or modification include: pregnancy or breastfeeding; active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area; use of blood thinners, isotretinoin (roaccutane) or immunosuppressants; history of keloid scarring (for some procedures); severe autoimmune conditions; or recent radiation therapy. Full contraindication screening occurs at every consultation.

Question 47

What should I do if I experience an unexpected reaction?

Accepted Answer

Contact us immediately on +91 75065 11336 (call or WhatsApp). We include a complimentary clinical follow-up for any unexpected reaction within 7 days of treatment. Dr. Nehha will assess the concern and provide appropriate guidance. Do not apply any new products to the treated area without consulting us first.

Question 48

Are the products and devices used at Hermosa Hermonia certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All products are from reputable, clinically-tested brands with established safety profiles. Medical devices and energy-based equipment (RF, laser, MNRF) comply with relevant safety certifications. We do not use untested or grey-market products. Specific brands used can be discussed during your consultation.

Question 49

What hygiene and sterilisation protocols do you follow?

Accepted Answer

We follow strict medical-grade sterilisation: all needles and invasive consumables are single-use and opened in front of the client; treatment surfaces are sanitised between every client; reusable equipment is autoclaved; treatment rooms are cleaned and disinfected with medical-grade disinfectants. We maintain a surgical-standard hygiene environment throughout.

Question 50

Can I combine multiple treatments in one visit?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes yes — if Dr. Nehha determines it is clinically appropriate. Combination sessions (e.g. MNRF + GFC, or Hydra Facial + mesotherapy) can deliver synergistic results when planned correctly. What is not appropriate is combining certain energy-based treatments on the same day or treating the same area with aggressive protocols simultaneously. Combination plans are designed during consultation.

Question 51

Are treatments adapted for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most treatments can be adapted for sensitive skin by adjusting parameters, formulations and technique. Hydra Facials and mesotherapy are excellent for sensitive skin. Deeper peels, MNRF and laser procedures are approached more gradually for reactive skin types. A patch test may be performed before any higher-sensitivity treatment.

Question 52

How much downtime should I expect after treatments?

Accepted Answer

Most treatments have minimal to zero downtime. Hydra Facials, mesotherapy, mild peels and RF sessions allow you to return to routine immediately. MNRF and deep peels may involve 24–72 hours of redness and mild swelling. Laser hair removal has no downtime. Microblading involves 7–10 days of healing. Specific downtime is always discussed before you book.

Question 53

What aftercare instructions will I receive?

Accepted Answer

After every treatment, you receive a personalised aftercare guide covering: products to use and avoid, sun protection instructions, skin washing and moisturising guidelines, activity restrictions (heat, exercise, swimming), makeup and shaving guidelines, and when to book your next session. For complex treatments, Dr. Nehha follows up personally.

Question 54

Can I exercise after a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Light activity is fine after most non-invasive treatments, but strenuous exercise causing heavy sweating should be avoided for 24 hours as sweat can irritate freshly treated skin. After MNRF, GFC or peels, avoid the gym for 48–72 hours. Swimming in pools or the sea should be avoided for at least 5–7 days after most treatments.

Question 55

What sun protection should I use after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sun protection is non-negotiable after any aesthetic treatment, particularly peels, laser, MNRF and brightening procedures. We recommend a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen applied every 2–3 hours when outdoors. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48–72 hours post-treatment.

Question 56

When will I see results and when should I return?

Accepted Answer

Immediate visible changes occur after Hydra Facials, IV drips and mild peels. Progressive results from RF, MNRF, GFC and laser build over weeks to months. Follow-up timelines are set during your consultation — typically 2–6 weeks between sessions, with progress checks at each visit.

Question 57

What skincare products should I avoid before and after treatments?

Accepted Answer

Before most treatments, avoid retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide and vitamin C serums for 3–5 days prior. Before laser, avoid fake tan and sun exposure for 2 weeks. After treatments, avoid active ingredients for 5–7 days depending on treatment intensity. Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and non-comedogenic moisturisers. Specific guidance is provided per treatment.

Question 58

How is pricing structured at Hermosa Hermonia?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is transparent and discussed fully before any commitment. Single session prices are available for most treatments. Multi-session packages (courses of 4, 6 or 8 sessions) offer better value for treatments requiring multiple visits. Package pricing is finalised after consultation when the correct course length is determined. Consultations are always complimentary.

Question 59

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM), credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay), and cash. Bank transfers can be arranged for packages. All pricing is INR-denominated and inclusive of applicable taxes.

Question 60

Do you offer packages or multi-session discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Course-based treatments (GFC, MNRF, laser hair removal, peels, RF) are offered as packages of 4–8 sessions with a favourable per-session rate. Package pricing is discussed during consultation and valid for 12 months from purchase.

Question 61

Do you offer EMI or instalment options?

Accepted Answer

For premium packages above ₹25,000, we can arrange split payments in two or three instalments at no additional cost, subject to prior arrangement. Please discuss this with our team when booking. Formal EMI partnerships are being explored.

Question 62

Are there any hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

No. Pricing discussed during consultation is all-inclusive — no facility charges, no consultation fees for follow-ups within 7 days, no mandatory product purchases. If additional items are needed, they are communicated clearly and upfront before proceeding.

Question 63

What is your cancellation and no-show policy?

Accepted Answer

We request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations (under 4 hours) or no-shows may incur a fee of 50% of the booked service value. Completed treatments are non-refundable. Package sessions not used within validity may be transferred but not refunded, subject to clinical appropriateness. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

Question 64

Do you offer memberships or loyalty rewards?

Accepted Answer

We offer loyalty benefits for returning clients including priority booking, session credits for referrals, and access to exclusive seasonal packages. A formal membership programme is in development. Please speak with our team to learn about current client appreciation programmes.
