Awesome man! Too bad I'll miss you but I'm excited to see your results on here. It'll be great. Curious what package you ended up going with?

Wow man, this looks amazing. Great work from Eugenix. Looks like another slam dunk. I have a pretty similar hairline to you and I'm going to Eugenix next month. Do you have more recent pics?

I'm going with a higher package at Eugenix myself but during my consultation with Dr. Arika, she was very clear that even if I got the lowest package, my result should be no different and I would get the same level of support throughout the process. She mentioned that they have full trust with all their doctors and staff and will stand by their work no matter which package it is. So if you're thinking of going to a cheaper doctor because of the price, maybe one thing you should consider is one of the lower packages with Eugenix. Good luck!

You can call or send them a WhatsApp message at +91-8826473333 They are very responsive. After you contact them and they gather relevant information, they will assign you to a specialist who will help you through the rest of steps.

Awesome news @Gatsby!!! Excited that you're finally going to Eugenix! I'm heading there myself in December. I'll be in Delhi December 21 to 31 but my surgery is on the 27th. Maybe we'll see meet each other if you're still in India by the time I arrive.

Glad to hear @Gatsby! Are you planning to go to Eugenix during the holidays?

@Fight-hair-loss you should contact them if you want an in-between package. They might be able to customize one for you. Which doctor are leaning towards most right now?

@MazAB thank you for not not only sharing your journey but also your health regimen. Damn I can't believe you're almost 50! You look so good man! I would've said mid-30s! I'd be happy if I looked half as good as you when I'm your age. Your HT looks really good. The revised hairline is perfect and I'm glad Eugenix helped you to get the best possible result. Looking forward for your future updates! I know this one will be a slam dunk.

@Berba11 congrats! Glad it all worked out for you and you're able to not only go to India but also make it to your anniversary trip to Paris! Thanks for providing a comprehensive account of how you got your visa figured out. BTW @Kariminho and everyone who is trying to get their visas to India. India just recently started issuing Tourists Visas again and the Tourist Visa is free of charge until March 2022. You might want to see if you can apply for a Tourist visa instead since there are less requirements, usually just your passport and the 2x2 photos are needed. I believe the medical visa is either $80 or $100 depending on your nationality. I was able to apply for an eTourist Visa free of charge and the visa was approved in less than 24 hours. The eVisas (both eTourist or eMedical) are not available for Brits and Canadians, unfortunately, but should be available for Americans, Europeans, and most other nationalities. But either way, eVisa or the traditional visa, tourist visas should be free of charge right now.

@Ronnie yeah we'll definitely overlap if you're staying for 2 weeks. I arrive in Delhi on the 21st and will be leaving on the 31st. Let's PM, would be great to meet in person at the clinic. Maybe @Kariminho will end up going around the same time too.

Thanks! I'll send you a PM.

I got a package that they don't normally offer. Higher than the super premium package but it means that I get both Dr. Pradeep and Dr. Arika working on my surgery. We can PM if you want more details about that. Dr. Pinto has amazing hairline work but I'm of asian descent so I thought a lot of Eugenix's results are closer to my hair type so I felt comfortable picking them.

@Eugenix Hair Sciences This is the same dates as the London meet and greet. Is the one in London cancelled?

Hi @dust78. Thanks for sharing your story here. I just read the entire thread and I'm really sorry for your experience. Are you considering doing a repair with another surgeon? I don't know a lot about over harvesting and what can be dome to fix but seems like there are a lot of other doctors that might be able to use your beard and / or body hair to improve density on you head. Thanks again for sharing our journey. I almost booked with ASMED a few weeks ago and then I remembered this forum and when I checked, I saw that ASMED isn't a recommended clinic anymore. If not for you sharing your story, there might be more of us going to ASMED and getting the same result.

Hey @Fego. I won't be able to rank them for you since I have not gone to either yet. From my research, both Dr. Pinto and Eugenix are great options. They both have fantastic results and are both recommended by this board. To me it came down to availability. I wanted to do my HT over the Christmas holidays so I ended up picking Eugenix since they can do it at that time. Otherwise, I would've gone to Dr. Pinto since it's a closer flight to me than India.

Hi @jay80 I'm also doing a hairline HT, I have a pretty similar hairline with you. The doctor that I originally wanted to work with was Dr. Bisanga but he's full until Feb or March next year so I decided to look at other options. Another doctor that I really wanted to go to is Dr. Pinto in Portugal. He does great hairline designs from what I saw in my research. You should do a consultation with them. I was just chatting with their awesome patient coordinator Emilio this morning and he said that they might have openings / cancellation in November, December, and January (otherwise they are mostly fully booked for most of 2022 from what I heard). I ended up deciding to go to Eugenix after seeing all their results (plus they were able to squeeze me in during the Christmas holidays). I love all their hairline work and I think they will do an awesome job on yours if you decide to go to them.

Sorry you had to move your procedure, I hope you get your visa to India soon. Maybe we'll end up in India around the same time then!

Hey @Charlii I was wondering about the same thing and found this thread that was helpful:

Pinto is a good option too and about the same price as the premium package at Eugenix. I had been chatting pretty recently with their awesome patient coordinator Emilio and they might have some openings / cancellations in November, December, or early January. You should consult with them soon though since those slots get filled quickly. I really wanted to go to Pinto but the dates doesn't line up with my availability so I decided to go to Eugenix instead. I think either way, whether you go to Eugenix (even the lower packages), Pinto or some other doctors you have mentioned, these are all great options. Just heads up, depending on when you want to get your HT done, a lot of the doctors you mentioned have long wait times. Vila and Freitas are pretty much fully booked until 2023, HLC and Bicer are fully booked until March 2022.

ah you're going much earlier than I am. My procedure is planned for December 27 so I will be spending the week of Christmas in Delhi. How long are you planning to stay in India post op? I was originally planning to stay 7 days post op so I could go to Eugenix for my first hair wash but that does not seem necessary so I'm leaving 3 days post op. I think it's a great idea that you picked the Super Premium package. Eugenix's donor management seems to be really good so you're in great hands with them.

@Fight-hair-loss have you had a video consultation with Dr. Arika yet? Might be good to get one so you can discuss your concerns with them. It might be that @xpressabhijust needed a few more days for it to look more normal. @Fegoalmost all the results that I see from Eugenix, even the lowest package, has been good (although who knows, maybe there are some botched job that we never see). I'm sure that if there are any issues, Dr. Arika and Dr. Pradeep will do all they can to fix it. You might also want to chat with @MazAB, I think he got a customized package in between the Exclusive and Premium. Maybe that price point might be doable for you?

He mentioned that he went for the Exclusive Package which is Rs 120 per graft. I think for that package the slits are done by Dr. Arika but 100% of extractions and implantations are done by the techs.

@Kariminho Good luck to you! I'm also going to Eugenix in December. When are you going? Maybe we'll overlap there. I think you made a great decision with Eugenix and I'm looking forward to seeing your result. Did they say how many grafts they think you might need?

Thank you @digi23 and @kirkland. This is very helpful. I was originally planning to stay +7 days post op so that Eugenix can do the head wash for me. After hearing from both of you, I decided to book my flight back 3 days post-op, just in time to celebrate New Years at home (although just staying at home and hiding from people). You both are right, I will probably be a lot more comfortable at home rather than a hotel. Really hoping no face shields on the flight home though!

Wow you were in and out of there quick. I'm planning to leave 3 days post op and was thinking that might be too short. Now I feel better knowing that you didn't stay that long over there. Thanks for the insight man! You're really looking pretty awesome. Happy growing!
