Hello,

I'm 4.5 months past my HT. Is it safe to use the dermapen to increase the bloodflow? 

Hello folks,

I had my transplant about 3-4 weeks before. I'm having some dandruff at the recipient area. I have always had oily scalp and some sticky dandruff before, so I use to use the Selsum blue shampoo once or twice a week but now this dandruff looks a drier one( could be due to the dryness?)  and not the sticky types . So should I use the same dandruff shampoo which makes my scalp dry or some good moisturising one ?

Hey kevin, congrats. Didnt know you were abt to go under the knife so soon? Few questions though...whats your age, can you share some pre-op pictures, also which package did you choose.. 120rs per graft or 75rs per graft? Also how is the skillset of technicians there @eugenix? As most of the hair planting is gonna be done by them, does dr sethi stays in there for the entire transplant? A detailed experience of the entire surgery would be very helpful.thanks and wish you speedy recovery and a head ful of hair.

Sorry was busy. Dr Pradeep or Dr Arika is involved most of the time. Depends on the package u choose, either Dr Arika or Dr Shishir will do the extractions. At times, technicians can do also but they seem experienced and highly efficient.  

Hello folks,

Its been a week I got my HT at Eugenix. I have been loosing hairs for about 10-12 years . Started finex and minoxidil for about 2 years initially, then stopped it. Now taking it past 6 months. After seeing Eugenix good results, I had booked my HT with them. Nelson was my first point of contact and he's a great guy. Responsive and helpful. Did one video consultation with Dr Sethi and booked my appointment.  Landed at Delhi a day before and was picked it up their friendly staff. There was some confusion so my HT was postponed for a day but that wasnt a big deal really. On the day of the surgery, Dr Pradeep drew the hairline and I left it on the expert to decide the hairline ( Although like everyone,  I would have loved to have an little aggressive hairline but he explained, it wont look good 5 years from now) . I found Dr Pradeep to be friendly, honest and with good ethical values. Procedure was painless and was done by Dr Pradeep, Dr Shishir and the staff. Lasted for about 6 hours. Attaching the pics.

One thing which really impressed me was their in house accommodation. The rooms are good sized and they provide u with all the meals and the fact that I was visiting india after a long time, I ordered whatever I was craving to eat

All in all, it was a great experience and I'm hoping the results to be as good

Hello,

I'll be flying internationally after my HT and was wondering if I'll allowed a bottle of saline in the carry on bag , if I show the doctor's letter at the security ? Has anyone done that,  especially at Delhi Airport?

Hi Paul,

Can u have the same contrast for all the pre and post op pictures?

Hello folks

Been thinking about using Derma pen. Should I give it a try ? My HT is scheduled in 1-2 months for the frontal area only  but i do have thinning in the crown also so thinking to try derma pen. Should I just start using it or ask my surgeon first?

Looks nice.
Try and keep lighting conditions same in before and after pictures for better comparison.
All your pictures of results are with enhanced contrast.

Agree with you on this. Abhinay pls make sure of this

Although there is some improvement but not something patient will be very pleased. 2000 graft could yield much more. 

No endorsement? Ok..

Why I have been seeing such "no endorsement " posts of Dr Bhatti off late ? 

Lol. First comment n out of the park

Lipogaine is the brand of minoxidil, it is what I use. I find it to be good quality. You can buy any 1,000mg pumpkin seed oil, they're all pretty much the same.

U mean u use lipogaine which is a minoxidil or a shampoo? I use minoxidil too but checking if it's the lipogaine shampoo u use ? Best of all, if u could share the link pls.

Nope, I took it for a few months when I was 21. You know what’s worse than hair loss at 21? Having sexual issues.

I figured I could find a girl who’d put up with my thinning hair, but not being able to perform would be harder no pun intended. 

I take minoxidil and pumpkin seed oil. My hair hasn’t changed . Although, most of my hair is transplanted. 

Very true. Stopped taking finex since last 3 days . Will decide if I start after my HT. Can u share which pumpkin seed oil u take as there are many on amazon ? Besides,  while I was doing my research on pumpkin seed oil, somebody mentioned he's also using lipogaine along with it and has seen result. Though I dont beleive a shampoo could bring back any hairs but may be prevent the hair loss ?

It’s a personal decision, some guys tough it out and claim it gets better. Personally, I stopped taking it when I had the same side effects. I did go totally bald. I don’t regret it though, given the choice I choose sexual health over hair. 

So u never took it even after all your HTs? Anything else helped u as an substitute?

Thanks everyone.  I havnt taken it past 2 days and thinking to start it again after my sxheduled HT in 2 months. Sounds a good plan ?

What exactly are you feeling?

The "true" side effect is lack of interest, sex wise.  It's like turning off the faucet. So, besides no interest, what else?

Where are you getting the medication?

Have you started taking it every other day as per your doctor's suggestion?

What have you noticed hair wise?

Did your doctor suggest any other modalities?

 

 

Main problem I'm facing is impotence . Have started taking the alternate day from today onwards only. About results, I'm not sure as it's only been 3-4 months I'm on finex but I havnt seen any improvement or anything. HT surgeon just advised to take it alternate days. Nothing else

I'd def follow up with your hair transplant doctor to get their opinion on this. Have you had side effects the entire 3-4 months or did they just recently creep up?

Doctor mentioned that I can take on alternate days. I didnt realize about the side effects earlier but definitely since past month or two,  just not feeling right

Hello

I have been on finesteride 1 mg for 3-4 months and experiencing sexual side effects. Should I stop taking it now or take half a tablet ? My HT is scheduled in nov

Yes, we have two packages i.e. 1. Comprehensive Package and 2. Comprehensive and Exclusive Package.

The above patient has availed the Comprehensive and Exclusive Package. 

Mind sharing,  what's that as u described the comprehensive and exclusive package separately and not as one package?

Abhinay,  I know about the comprehensive and exclusive package but u mentioned , that the patient went for both the packages.  Hows that possible? 

Hi Abhinay, 

What's this comprehensive and exclusive package? These are two separate packages right 

Tbh, any cheap surgeon in turkey or in india could give this result or even better. I would certainly press for refund , especially when your dad too gotten a poor result. 

Great result. Abhinay, so the crown area wasnt treated surgically at all? Only via medications?

Great. Just curious as to why didnt they do 3000 grafts in single sitting ? 

Really nice.  Abhinav, as requested before,  can u please make sure to mention the package chosen by the patient and name of the Drs performed the surgery?
