Yes, I wired the money up front. Because I knew these guys from my first procedure I knew them to be trustworthy and honest people.

At the moment that is the only avenue to enter india unless you hold an Indian passport. Getting an e-visa takes about 72 hours after you pay the $80 fee. And don't worry about getting local currency. Unless you're planning to do some extra activities on your own you really don't need any cash at all. Eugenix gives you a full ride. I never took out any cash.

Very interesting, I think I'll go ahead and try that

Interesting, maybe I'll try that combined with topical fin

You're spot on, I discontinued oral finasteride after 2 years of taking it due to side effects and the hair starting falling like crazy. The density went down and bald spots started surfacing which is why I decided to go back. I'm not sure how to continue from here on out because obviously I want to preserve my hair but I don't want to deal with the side effects of fin. Perhaps topical fin is the way to go..

The basic package. The doctors are still designing the hairline and making the incisions in the recipient area before the technicians take over for extraction and implantation. Making the incisions requires a lot of precision so it really comes down to the doctor's individual skill and experience. It is a balancing act between trying to maximize density while at the same time maintaining minimum distance to existing hair so as to not risk damaging it (> 2.5mm). From what I understand extraction and implantation tend to me more mechanical, so I was comfortable entrusting their senior staff with that task.

I already posted in the surgeon reviews forum before seeing this forum but I think it better fits here actually. Mods, please feel free to reassign/merge the posts and sorry about the confusion! I just completed my second FUE, 1700 grafts with Dr Arika Bansal and Dr. Pradeep Sethi at Eugenix in New Delhi. My first procedure was in December 2017 (FUE, 3000 grafts) and the results were so spectacular that I’ll just let the before-after photos do the talking: As you can see, my hair looked pretty sparse and sad before the procedure. During the following year I experienced what can only be described as a hair explosion on my head. It was amazing. I had never had such full hair. And completely without finasteride or Minox. It was magical. Back then I decided on Eugenix because the price-performance ratio simply couldn't be beat - 3000 grafts, 3 day hotel stay, transport to and from the airport, hotel, medication for the equivalent of around 1 euro per graft. Every patient is also assigned a consultant from the clinic who answers all questions via WhatsApp 24 hours a day and is responsible for preparation and follow-up. Dr. Bansal and Dr. Sethi have already helped over 9000 patients and have successfully performed mega procedures of up to 7000 grafts. They have developed their own version of FUE in which the extracted grafts are immediately re-implanted in order to minimize the time spent outside the body. Due to the success of the clinic, prices have unfortunately risen a bit, but the result of my first FUE was so unbelievably good that I knew pretty soon after: I had to go back.

I know, it was pure magic and the confidence boost that came with it felt so good. But you're right, I have since lost a lot of hair which is why I decided to go back for a second FUE. I was on finasteride for 2 years after my first procedure but when covid started I lost my job and went through a period of extreme stress that came with mood swings, depression and worse and the medication certainly didn't help with that. So I stopped. That's when the hairloss really started taking off though. I'm not sure how to continue from here because even though I 100% want to stop further hair loss I really don't want to deal with the side effects of finasteride. I feel like it really weighs me down.
