Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: Named, CURRENT credentialed medical director (Dr Kalan), corroborated by LinkedIn (za.linkedin.com/in/kashmal-kalan-md) and the brand's surgeon profile; photo high-confidence. Reviews are genuinely MIXED — several strongly positive but a documented complaint of poor results/aftercare and a technician-performed procedure; represented honestly. verified=false: Dr Kalan was trained BY an ABHRS diplomate but is not himself listed in an ISHRS/IAHRS/ABHRS directory. medihair.com excluded (aggregator).
