In this episode, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Neha Taneja pulls back the curtain on cosmetic procedures that have become dangerously mainstream. This is not fear-mongering. These are facts every patient deserves to know.

What you'll learn in this episode:
→ Why hair transplant deaths are happening — and the exact anesthesia mistake that causes them
→ The "6,000 grafts in one day" red flag you must know before booking
→ How to verify whether your doctor is actually qualified (most people never check)
→ The difference between a dermatologist, cosmetologist, and a skin "expert" — only one is a real degree
→ Why 40–50% of dark circles will NEVER improve with creams — and what actually works
→ Botox explained honestly: when it looks natural vs. when it goes wrong
→ Why fillers near the eyes and nose carry a risk of blindness — and how doctors manage it
→ Gen Z is aging faster than millennials — the 3 lifestyle factors behind it
→ The right SPF for Indian skin (hint: higher is not always better)
→ Coconut oil vs. moisturizing cream — what dermatologists actually recommend to patients

Share this with anyone planning a hair transplant, Botox, or any cosmetic procedure. One share could genuinely prevent someone from making a dangerous decision.
