Just within few week's of my treatment, I saw results and it gave me my confidence back . I am so thankful to aesthetica veda.
Happened to visit Dr.SreeLalitha after running around behind many Doctors for almost 3years for my skin problem without any results.
Dr.SreeLalitha was able to analyze my skin problem in the 1st visit itself and was quite impressed with her friendly nature and treatment.
To my surprise my skin problem was totally solved within 2 sittings for which I was running around for last 3 years to different Doctors without results. I would highly recommend Dr SreeLalitha for any dermatological problem.
Clinic ambiance is lovely, spacious and well lit. Consultancy charges are quite economical for Whitefields.
Dr Sukesh performed my hair transplant in Dec2020. I was waiting for the outcome to post my feedback.Starting from the pre procedure to procedure to post maintenance, it has really been an exhilarating experience for me. The procedure itself was more an experience , how th e dr calls it too , than a procedure. The whole environment was extremely friendly and comfortable.
Dr Sukesh also has ability to make his patients at ease with anecdotal sharing of experiences and general topic. He certainly is a top subject matter expert in his field. Even his post procedure advises have been extremely satisfactory.
End justifies the means and I can see the growth and results within 4 months. Honestly I am surprised with such quick results.
Thank you Dr Sukesh, for all your efforts. I would recommend your expertise as Gold standards.
Amazing doctor. Explained things thoroughly during treatment. Made my deep cut mark on cheek fully disapper, which I never thought would happen.
I am glad I met him at a earlier stage of my balding or hair thinning. Thanks to my family for their cooperation and especially my gratitude to Dr Sukesh and him team for their admirable skills. They were highly profession and precise and focused in their work .
I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for best in hair restoration

Had a dull ache over my gum which Dr. Parikshith promptly diagnosed as an abscess and drained. Also the aesthetic nature of the clinic is a big plus point for this clinic.
I visited Aesthetica Veda for my dental checkup. Dr Parikshith HM promptly diagnosed my condition as peridontitis. After multiple visiting for extraction, cleaning and reevaluation I am happy to say that my tooth condition is completely resolved. Must recommend Dr Parikshith to be your dentist if you live nearby. Also a word of appreciation for Dr. Geethanjali who was also involved with my dental care. I must also put a word for the fabulous interior of the clinic. It is certainly one of the best clinic I have visited in terms of vibes. The clinical coordinator Ms. Amrita always was around and made my visit a smooth affair. Kudos to the receptionist Ms. Anita and Ms. Joyce.
