Here is my experience at Eugenix:
31 years old, been progressively losing hair since early 20’s. Went on finasteride 1.25mg daily (Proscar cut in 4) since 1 year. Been lurking here for 2 years where I found this clinic.
Had zoom call with Eugenix and Dr. Das which we estimated I needed 3700 grafts (2700 hairline/temple, 1000 crown).
Booked for February had to change to March due to visa issue. Originally was to be in Mumbai due to her being there that week however they ask me to change to Delhi last minute which was not feasible due to tickets being already booked. They accommodate and Dr. Das flew to Mumbai.
Exclusive Package at 120rs +18% tax. I booked several weeks after Dr. Arika was not included in the exclusive package anymore. Dr. Das had been promoted to the exclusive package given almost 6 years of experience with Eugenix. I had selected her based on reviews I had seen.
Visa was a pain to get as a Canadian given covid and the slow process speed of BLS international.
Eugenix has a corporate rate for the hotel which is about 50% less than Expedia. About 6000rs including tax and breakfast for a 5 stars hotel, well worth it.
They feed you whatever you want at the clinic which is delicious
Downloaded a food order app to order food as needed during my stay and downloaded a FX transfer app to pay for the surgery to save exchange rates and credit card charges.
Day 1
Got at clinic at 1pm and we did blood pressure test and tested the anastasia for allergies
Proceeded to draw the hairline with Dr. Das. It was as I had imagined so I didnt have much changes to do. To be noted I have like 10 hair (litteraly, see the pictures) below the hairline in the front. Putting the hairline lower would not have made sense and I wanted a conservative design that is dense.
Shaved the areas where she would be operating
Proceeded to pay for the procedure which was 3500 grafts vs. the 3700 estimated earlier.
Proceeded to get the slits done by Dr. Das. This took maybe a couple hours and we finished with 3550 grafts. She was diligent in her slits and once done we applied the ink and we would be ready for tomorrow at 9am.
She reassured me that slits could stay open for several days and it would make a clean job
Day 2:
Got there at 9 am and started surgery right away.
As explained in other reviews the tech are pros at their jobs and are super efficient and clearly know what they are doing with each of them having at least 5 years of experience.
The girl giving the anastasia was the nicest, always asking if I felt pain and injecting as needed to numb the area being worked on.
Dr. Das was there the whole time to supervise the surgery. Dr Sethi even came in a couple times to see how things were going so that was reassuring.
We finished at around 7pm and had maybe a 15 minutes-20 minutes break for lunch which was perfect with me.
3550 graft: Approximately 900 crown, 2200 hairline, 400 temples
Took pictures post surgery and was given a package to take care of the hair and medication and then I went out with Dr. Sethi and the team as well as another patient.
Got to spend several days with Dr. Sethi since he was in Mumbai but he is mainly in Delhi so this was a good coincidence. One thing for sure is that Dr. Sethi eats, drinks, sleep (not much) hair. I have never seen an individual so dedicated to his craft. Be it patients, surgery, hospitality, staff, etc. Met several of his clients and all of them are 100% satisfied with Eugenix which helped make me feel good about my choice.
