Post-op – 1 month and 20 days (~7w) I didn't share an update at month 1 as I was travelling but basically, around week 4, I've lost a lot of hair for something like a week. Everytime I was passing my hand on my head, I had dozens of 1cm hairs in my hand, maybe a bit more when showering. Then, it stopped almost suddenly. Now it's been two weeks that I am loosing almost no hair. And here are some photos from yesterday: PS: don't look at my haircut, I've done a quick 5min trim and yes, next time I'll ask a professional 😅

Post-op – Day 22 All good here. I've started loosing tiny rootless hair 2-3 days ago. Looks on track! @Melvin- Admin is it possible to change to title of the topic to "Eugenix 4801 grafts (TBC) by Dr Somesh NW5/6 40yo" please? Thanks!

That's what's happened to me with Eugenix yep. They assured me that slits the day before is not a problem (it was less than 20h in my case). What is key is the time between the extraction of a graft and its implantation.

Post-op – Day 14 All is going well from what I can see and the feedback from Eugenix. I went back to the gym for the first time today and the photos in this post is after my shower. I have a bit of dryness on my scalp and some flakes but I've been told to spend a bit more time with massaging with my baby shampoo. I am on Finasterine 1mg/day and multi-vitamins. Can't wait to see the evolution!

People have the realise that the entire staff, from the lowest to the highest package has great experience (I've been told that at peak, it's 300 patients every month now). And between the packages, we're talking nuances. Ultimately, my decision was driven by my budget and then chemistry with the Doctor.

Post-op – Day 6 (10/02/24) Quick photo update before my first wash tomorrow. All looks fine, my left donor area is a bit more "red" and "visible" than the others but I guess it might be healing slower than the others (from what I recall, my left donor area was the one the most harvested). One last annoying night!

(right, I thought I'd be able to edit my post but apparently not. So I will reply to myself until the admin/modos can advice) Day two (04/03/24) Gosh, that was a long day. Waking up at 7.30am IST, breakfast then at the clinic at 9am. Dr Somesh wanted to see how the day go to perhaps do all transplants in one day. A bit nervous as I didn't know what to expect in terms of sensations or pain. In 3-4h, the team already extracted and implanted 1780 grafts (right side of my donor, and implanted on the top, behind the hairline). Time for a lunch break (the mushroom biryani was delicious) and we were back at it at around 2pm. Now onto the left part of my donor area, with around the same amount of grafts (final numbers will be shared later). Implantation followed the first one on the top but in direction of the crown. Dr Somesh was really happy with the condition of my skin and how it reacted. Not much bleeding and I could handle the low pain. So we decided to continue and finish everything today. Last part of my donor, the middle was extracted (~1300) to fill my crown and they started to isolate the single hair graft for the hairline. Once the hairline was done, Dr Somesh and the team took and extra ~50 grafts to fill the remaining slits. Dr Somesh then had a very close look at the result and thought the crown could have 5 more grafts implanted in the right side of my crown whorl. Once done, the hair transplant procedure was finally done, a bit past 8pm. I then had the final trim of my remaining hair, took photos and had the speech and package for the Care team (all you need for the following week). A note on the pain: I found it more 'unsettling' or 'uncomfortable' at times rather than painful. The 'most' painful part for me was the repetition of the small needle for the anesthesia (probably like a 3/10). If the anesthesia was done properly and equally on the specific areas, extraction was completely painless and implantation was painless or a small 1/10. If the anesthesia didn't take properly or needed a bit more, the extraction was a 1/10, and implantation a 3-4/10. But is was rare. Out of 10-11h of procedure, I had a dozen of 3-4/10 painful moment. I almost feel asleep at some point. End of procedure – front view End of procedure – back and crown view End of procedure – crown close-up view (before Dr Somesh wanted to had 5 more grafts) Day three / post-op (05/03/24) Struggled to get proper sleep, the first hours were horrible. But then I've found a position with the neck pillow that was ok with my head and got 4-5h of sleep from there. Woke up very well, felt good, had breakfast but shortly after I felt dizzy, weak and nauseous. I've checked with the Care team and they thought that I was dehydrated (you don't really realise how much they make you drink during the procedure but when you get back to your room, it's a different story). I was get anxious as my flight was supposed to be at 2am the next day (and it reminded me a situation I've been in the past). Anyway, they provided me with Oral Rehydration Solutions and Xanax-equivalent tablet to calm me down. All of that helped a lot and I felt better the rest of the day. However I've change my flight by one day to allow for further rest before a +9h flight back. Bit of swelling but nothing dramatic. Day after procedure – top view Day after procedure – back view I would like to thank Eugenix, Dr Somesh and the entire technicians team. Their work met the standards I've seen among other cases and why I've chosen them. Now I can't wait for Day 7 and of course, seeing the evolution in the upcoming months!

Hi everyone, After reading a countless amount of reviews, the time has come to write my own. To make it interesting, I thought about sharing my journey as I go through it (more details will be added as we go). Photos pre-procedure Preparation After thorough research for the past 5 years, I was finally ready to get a hair transplant surgery. I've lost my job a few months ago which means that, even though I have less money, I have way more time (and when you have money, you have not time, always like this...). Eugenix has always came back to the top of my list so I decided to establish contact with them (25/26 of Jan). After lengthy exchanges, I've been told they have available slots in the upcoming weekends and we've agreed to try to make it work, but post-pone if the admin would take time. On the 28th I had my eVISA, on the 29th my flights and on the 30th my blood tests. And I've chosen the Exclusive package with Dr. Somesh. Day one (03/03/24) I've arrived (delayed flight) very early today (3rd Feb). Being tired was the only 'not ideal' aspect, the rest I must say went extremely smoothly. Drove by a Eugenix chauffeur to the clinic at 11.30am, taken care of by the staff to first sign all the paperwork, they then took photos of my current hair situation. Meeting Dr. Somesh in person, we discuss my hairline, he draw what he thought would be ideal and we took new photos. Then the shaving of the soon-to-be implanted areas, wash and we took the direction of the operation theatre. It took around 2 hours for Dr Somesh and his team to do the local anesthesia, the 4,801 slits and the PRP injection. To be clear, it was an entirely painless procedure. And the staff was lovely and caring. Back to my accommodation where I had diner (or lunch considering the jet lag), and get as much rest as possible before tomorrow. hairline design and areas definition front view hairline design and areas definition angle view hairline design and areas definition top view after first shave slits front/top view slits back/top view Day one (04/03/24) [transplantation day, stay tuned]

Bumping that thread as I am transferring money to Eugenix using Wise as well. I've sent 5,000 INR as a test and I've got this: "Today at 8:56 am We are reviewing your transfer Our team will reach out to you soon regarding the information required by our partner bank in order to proceed with your transfer. Please respond within 7 working days to avoid your transfer being cancelled." Nothing else. When I call the customer service, they say money should arrive on the 13th of Feb 🙃 Did that happen to anyone else? Have I missed a step?

15-16h for me. On a weekend.

Thank you @Doron Harati Update: I am booked with Dr Somesh at Eugenix this weekend. I will start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum to share my journey. Send me your positive vibes!

Hi everyone, Long time reader/lurker of that forum, I am 40, live in London/UK and I have started losing my hair around 10 years ago. On my dad's side, all the boys started to be bold very soon (~25), I consider myself lucky-ish I have to admit that the state with my hair has been affecting me more than I thought it would. I am wearing caps almost every time I got out now which is ok and a way for me to continue being stylish while having something I am struggling to accept in my body. A year ago, I've tried Hims and their topical spray. After 6 months, I could see that my hair was thicker and that I was loosing way less while showering. I decided to stop during summer as I was going through a tough and stressful period. I have now restarted. I've always been interested by a hair implant procedure but for many reasons (and excuses), I've never took the leap of faith. I've lost my job a few months ago (like a lot of the people working in tech or else) which means I do have time to do it and most importantly, recover without seeing many people. The cons tho is money. It's ok but I will have to pull from savings. But if it's gonna make me happier, I am ok with that. Based in London, I know they are options in Europe. But I've also seen that Eugenix has a solid reputation, even tho it's far from here. I'd be ok with that if the results are there. And from what I've seen, they are. I'll continue reading your stories but any recent feedback would be appreciated. I do have a few questions of course but it's mostly to get your thoughts, suggestions and positive vibes ( ) for my journey. Is the procedure painful? Should I have to consider already that one procedure will not be enough? Is the redness going away at some point? Or is it still going to be a little bit coloured? Do you guys have examples of people who went through surgery and are wearing a very short hair head now? I am struggling to find photo of cases. I've asked quickly to Eugenix if they were offering payement in instalments for unfortunately they don't. Are they any financial solution out there for these types of procedure or it's all from our own pocket? If you went through such a procedure and would do it today like me, what would you do differently? What is useful to know? Thanks in advance for anyone who'd take the time to discuss! PS: I don't know which NW I am BTW.
