A few months after my FUE DHT at EUGENIX in India on February 25, I finally take the time to share my experience on this Forum.
me: Mr, 55 years old, NW4. on minoxidil for 25 years, I started to lose hair since  age 30 years old.
FUE of 3000 grafts

The reasons why I chose EUGENIX:
The choice of the surgeon was very difficult for me, with a lot of concern and questions about the procedures (manual or motorized extraction or ARTAS, DHI implantation, or not etc.) on the professionalism of the surgeons, and on the costs, and I will give the main reasons that made me choose EUGENIX clinic, India:

 1) First of all Arika Bensal (https://www.eugenix.in/dr-arika-bansal.html) is a world class surgeon, Gold Medal MD AIIMS (the most prestigious school in India), ABHRS , ISHRS, IAHRS. She founded  the EUGENIX clinic with her husband Dr. Pradeep Sethi who is also MD AIIMS and IAHRS.

 2) The DHT (Direct Hair Transplant) procedure developed by EUGENIX is unique. This procedure involves extracting the graft and implanting it as quickly as possible. Thus the chances of survival    of the graft are maximized and regrowth can be faster. Experiments and scientific publications have proven the benefit of DHT.
Oddly enough this procedure is not used in Europe, probably because it complicates the task of the surgeon. In any case, it is easy to understand that the faster the graft is reimplanted, the better. In Turkey, some surgeon proceeds by iteration of 500 grafts. Eugenix goes much further, it's graft after graft ...

3) The cost of the procedure is competitive
Certainly because the Clinic is located in India, the cost is much lower than other prestigious European, USA and Turkish surgeons who are referenced like Férudini , schools, bizanga, koray Erdogan, Mwanba, lupanzula etc.

There are 3 different prices per graft  depending on Arika's level of involvement, but the price is always competitive. The minimum price is 80 rupees (1 euro / graft)

4) Other technical criteria

  • Very good FTR (Follicle Transection Rate). This is a taboo subject, but the FTR can reach 30%, and depends on a lot of parameters like the equipment used, the expertise, the talent, the fatigue of the surgeon. Arika BANSAL demonstrated an extraction of 100 grafts in less than 3 minutes without transection at the 2014 ISHRS Annual Meeting in Malaysia !  possible to Check  on international presentation section of the page
  • Motorized FUE with Doctor Cole's PCID micromotor : less fatigue than manual FUE therefore less risk on the FTR and faster procedure
  • Use of a patented implanter : no manipulation of the root
  • Use of a high-performance microscope

5) Good opinions on Indian forums: there are many very positive user opinions on Eugenix. The results are natural and undetectable.

6) The Eugenix clinic : modern, to the highest standards. 2 nights are offered with full board in the clinic. PRP treatment is included in the packaged offer.

7) The possibility of combining the transplant with a vacation in India or another Asian country at a reduced cost because there are cheap flights from New Delhi to Thailand, Philippines, Bali, Nepal etc.  But my choice was to stay in India, there is a lot to to see !


Here is the report of my operation of February 25:

First of all, I always had great confidence, before, during and after the FUE procedure because the clinic met all my criteria.

Then, I must add that for getting more information, I had consulted several others clinics for evaluations and the N ° 1 clinic in Turkey (no need to indicate the name, it is very well known) had advised me against FUE by arguing that my donor area was poor and that I had not very mature areas, blah blah blah (I kept the email) ... I deduce that some clinics, however very famous, only take simple and easy cases, but it should be the the opposite : a competent and reputable clinic should be interested in complicated cases ! Obviously,  I did not listen to the advice of the No.1 clinic in Turkey ...

Finally and in a very synthetic way, I can say that I am very satisfied with my operation, as well as my vacation in India. I am planning to go back in 2021, possibly for an additional vertex transplant! The results are simply excellent. My new frontal line is a real treat that I enjoy every day. I gained confidence, serenity, confidence. I am more photogenic

I invite you to view the photos at different time intervals (at the very end of my post).

It is important to specify that it is impossible to detect that I had a transplant, on the one hand because the results are very natural and on the other hand because there is no redness or scars. on the recipient area and that there are no white spots on the donor area even after shaving!

I want to clarify that I have no financial interest with EUGENIX. My approach is to help you choose. Indeed, having been there, I know how difficult it is to choose the right surgeon and the right technology. I would have liked to have had the operation earlier, but I would have had to be guided, advised, reassured. So if my post can help you, I'll be happy to. 

If you opt for EUGENIX, you can say hello to the whole team from me and I will also be delighted to have your feedback by email: sal (… and further…) sandy (… and further…) @hotmail .fr or better by whatsapp +336 51 then 07 09 04


Detailed course of the procedure
I contacted the clinic at https://www.eugenix.in/ , exchanged photos, obtained a video consultation with Dr. Arika, obtained a quote by email and set a date for the intervention.

Then I paid Eugenix a deposit. The transfer is done easily, with almost no fees, using the transferwise application (do not use the Android mobile version which crashes when paying).

The day before the operation, February 24, I arrived at the clinic. Nelson (a psychologist) is responsible for accompanying me throughout the stay at the clinic, ensuring my well-being, answering very well and patiently my often very technical questions. This is a very valuable, even essential help, it made my experience even more enjoyable.

After some administrative formalities, blood test, medical check-up, Arika Bansal draws an impeccable forehead line, then pictures are taken, then I am taken to an internal suite at the Eugenix clinic. The comfort of the Room is royal (approximately 40 m2, television, armchair, terrace). The conditions are perfect for a good night's sleep before the operation!

The next day at 9:30 am, the procedure begins. It’s very professional, I am taken care of from start to finish. The staff is friendly. The operating room is modern and macularly clean. It is possible to watch a movie on a TV screen.
After a painless anesthesia, the procedure takes place on my shaved head.

In the option I chose, Arika Bansal performs all incisions and most follicule extractions. About 4 others technicians and doctors coordinate to perform tasks immediately after follicule extraction: harvesting the graft, checking, counting out loud the number of hairs, writing the count in a table, loading the graft into the implanter and implantation of the graft in the incision.

The procedure is painless and I fall asleep. After the lunch break, the procedure continues to end around 6 p.m. After another photo shoot, I am escorted to my room. it is important to rest, and be extremely careful with the grafts. The first nights, I sleep in a semi-seated position.

After 2 nights at the hotel, and several good small meals ordered à la carte, I left the clinic for a tourist tour of Rajasthan.

me: Mr, 55 years old, NW4. on minoxidil for 25 years, I started to lose hair since  age 30 years old.

  • Motorized FUE with Doctor Cole's PCID micromotor : less fatigue than manual FUE therefore less risk on the FTR and faster procedure
  • Use of a patented implanter : no manipulation of the root
  • Use of a high-performance microscope

5) Good opinions on Indian forums: there are many very positive user opinions on Eugenix. The results are natural and undetectable.

6) The Eugenix clinic : modern, to the highest standards. 2 nights are offered with full board in the clinic. PRP treatment is included in the packaged offer.

5 months later. Apparently, the results will improve even more because my wife saw a lot of hair growing back, using a magnifying glass.

 

 

It will keep improving in the coming months. Until the 12th month.

A few months after my FUE DHT at EUGENIX in India on February 25, I finally take the time to share my experience on this Forum.
me: Mr, 55 years old, NW4. on minoxidil for 25 years, I started to lose hair since  age 30 years old.
FUE of 3000 grafts

The reasons why I chose EUGENIX:
The choice of the surgeon was very difficult for me, with a lot of concern and questions about the procedures (manual or motorized extraction or ARTAS, DHI implantation, or not etc.) on the professionalism of the surgeons, and on the costs, and I will give the main reasons that made me choose EUGENIX clinic, India:

 1) First of all Arika Bensal (https://www.eugenix.in/dr-arika-bansal.html) is a world class surgeon, Gold Medal MD AIIMS (the most prestigious school in India), ABHRS , ISHRS, IAHRS. She founded  the EUGENIX clinic with her husband Dr. Pradeep Sethi who is also MD AIIMS and IAHRS.

 2) The DHT (Direct Hair Transplant) procedure developed by EUGENIX is unique. This procedure involves extracting the graft and implanting it as quickly as possible. Thus the chances of survival    of the graft are maximized and regrowth can be faster. Experiments and scientific publications have proven the benefit of DHT.
Oddly enough this procedure is not used in Europe, probably because it complicates the task of the surgeon. In any case, it is easy to understand that the faster the graft is reimplanted, the better. In Turkey, some surgeon proceeds by iteration of 500 grafts. Eugenix goes much further, it's graft after graft ...

3) The cost of the procedure is competitive
Certainly because the Clinic is located in India, the cost is much lower than other prestigious European, USA and Turkish surgeons who are referenced like Férudini , schools, bizanga, koray Erdogan, Mwanba, lupanzula etc.

There are 3 different prices per graft  depending on Arika's level of involvement, but the price is always competitive. The minimum price is 80 rupees (1 euro / graft)

4) Other technical criteria

  • Very good FTR (Follicle Transection Rate). This is a taboo subject, but the FTR can reach 30%, and depends on a lot of parameters like the equipment used, the expertise, the talent, the fatigue of the surgeon. Arika BANSAL demonstrated an extraction of 100 grafts in less than 3 minutes without transection at the 2014 ISHRS Annual Meeting in Malaysia !  possible to Check  on international presentation section of the page
  • Motorized FUE with Doctor Cole's PCID micromotor : less fatigue than manual FUE therefore less risk on the FTR and faster procedure
  • Use of a patented implanter : no manipulation of the root
  • Use of a high-performance microscope

5) Good opinions on Indian forums: there are many very positive user opinions on Eugenix. The results are natural and undetectable.

6) The Eugenix clinic : modern, to the highest standards. 2 nights are offered with full board in the clinic. PRP treatment is included in the packaged offer.

7) The possibility of combining the transplant with a vacation in India or another Asian country at a reduced cost because there are cheap flights from New Delhi to Thailand, Philippines, Bali, Nepal etc.  But my choice was to stay in India, there is a lot to to see !


Here is the report of my operation of February 25:

First of all, I always had great confidence, before, during and after the FUE procedure because the clinic met all my criteria.

Then, I must add that for getting more information, I had consulted several others clinics for evaluations and the N ° 1 clinic in Turkey (no need to indicate the name, it is very well known) had advised me against FUE by arguing that my donor area was poor and that I had not very mature areas, blah blah blah (I kept the email) ... I deduce that some clinics, however very famous, only take simple and easy cases, but it should be the the opposite : a competent and reputable clinic should be interested in complicated cases ! Obviously,  I did not listen to the advice of the No.1 clinic in Turkey ...

Finally and in a very synthetic way, I can say that I am very satisfied with my operation, as well as my vacation in India. I am planning to go back in 2021, possibly for an additional vertex transplant! The results are simply excellent. My new frontal line is a real treat that I enjoy every day. I gained confidence, serenity, confidence. I am more photogenic

I invite you to view the photos at different time intervals (at the very end of my post).

It is important to specify that it is impossible to detect that I had a transplant, on the one hand because the results are very natural and on the other hand because there is no redness or scars. on the recipient area and that there are no white spots on the donor area even after shaving!

I want to clarify that I have no financial interest with EUGENIX. My approach is to help you choose. Indeed, having been there, I know how difficult it is to choose the right surgeon and the right technology. I would have liked to have had the operation earlier, but I would have had to be guided, advised, reassured. So if my post can help you, I'll be happy to. 

If you opt for EUGENIX, you can say hello to the whole team from me and I will also be delighted to have your feedback by email: sal (… and further…) sandy (… and further…) @hotmail .fr or better by whatsapp +336 51 then 07 09 04


Detailed course of the procedure
I contacted the clinic at https://www.eugenix.in/ , exchanged photos, obtained a video consultation with Dr. Arika, obtained a quote by email and set a date for the intervention.

Then I paid Eugenix a deposit. The transfer is done easily, with almost no fees, using the transferwise application (do not use the Android mobile version which crashes when paying).

The day before the operation, February 24, I arrived at the clinic. Nelson (a psychologist) is responsible for accompanying me throughout the stay at the clinic, ensuring my well-being, answering very well and patiently my often very technical questions. This is a very valuable, even essential help, it made my experience even more enjoyable.

After some administrative formalities, blood test, medical check-up, Arika Bansal draws an impeccable forehead line, then pictures are taken, then I am taken to an internal suite at the Eugenix clinic. The comfort of the Room is royal (approximately 40 m2, television, armchair, terrace). The conditions are perfect for a good night's sleep before the operation!

The next day at 9:30 am, the procedure begins. It’s very professional, I am taken care of from start to finish. The staff is friendly. The operating room is modern and macularly clean. It is possible to watch a movie on a TV screen.
After a painless anesthesia, the procedure takes place on my shaved head.

In the option I chose, Arika Bansal performs all incisions and most follicule extractions. About 4 others technicians and doctors coordinate to perform tasks immediately after follicule extraction: harvesting the graft, checking, counting out loud the number of hairs, writing the count in a table, loading the graft into the implanter and implantation of the graft in the incision.

The procedure is painless and I fall asleep. After the lunch break, the procedure continues to end around 6 p.m. After another photo shoot, I am escorted to my room. it is important to rest, and be extremely careful with the grafts. The first nights, I sleep in a semi-seated position.

After 2 nights at the hotel, and several good small meals ordered à la carte, I left the clinic for a tourist tour of Rajasthan.

Hi guys,

Here are 4 new photos, 7.5 months later. As you can see the result is better but I think the big growth was 4-5 months.

I'm seriously considering doing another DHT FUE with Eugenix, because i love too much hair, it make me happy having hair.  

I think, my next FUE will have 3 objectives :

  • more hair on the left and right sides (I guess I'll probably need around 1000 grafts)
  • build the crown: I guess 2000 grafts will be needed
  • Beard to beard reshape with better definition and higher line (probably 1000 graft beard to beard transplant)

I Hope my donor area will still be correct after another 3000 graft procedure :):)  .

I m' putting  finasteride lotion on the crown  for 4 month Now.. I don't see a real difference. So I guess I have to do a FUE. 2000 graft will probably be required.

Salut les gars,

voici une nouvelle photo 7,5 mois plus tard. Comme vous le voyez, le résultat est meilleur mais je pense que la grande croissance a été de 4 à 5 mois.  

Gosh, je veux vraiment faire une autre FUE , mais à cause du COVID, la frontière indienne est fermée, donc j'ai peur de devoir attendre longtemps avant d'avoir une procédure avec Eugenix et je ne connais pas de meilleure clinique qu'Eugenix et une clinique de confiance (avec Eugenix, je peux m'attendre à avoir un bon résultat, dans 4 à 5 mois après la procédure DHT   :) 

Ma prochaine FUE aura 3 buts  :

  • Mettez probablement plus de cheveux sur les côtés gauche et droit (je suppose que j'aurai probablement besoin d'environ 800 greffons)
  • construire la couronne: je suppose que 1500 greffons seront nécessaires 
  • barbe à barbe FUE  pour obtenir une ligne d'ours meilleure et supérieure (probablement 1000 greffe de barbe à barbe FUE )

J'espère que ma zone donneuse sera toujours correcte après une autre procédure :) :)

Hi Andrea, I see a great great result in your pictures. Amazed also curious about how did you finalized your transplant and how much time it took for you to make a decision because I'm looking for the solution since long.

 

Hi.  It is normal that you take time to decide.  I have also been thinking , analyzing for many month and i explain in my post why Eugenix matched all my criteria. Everybody want a safe procedure who gives the best result at the best price.  And i m happy with the result. Actually, when you know what is really important to you, than the decision can come it will be a relief.  And you will see that after the procedure, when hair line come back , It is a true happiness  :) and you will probably regret not to have done it before... so dont think too much and go for it !

Hi guys, 

Let me give you a tip that can save some graft.

After the procedure, you have to be very very carefull about your precious graft.  Wearing a hat who protect you  And also put your hand in front of youR HT when  it is risky. For example when you enter in a car ...

But here is the best tip, that you probably don't know  ( don't laugh , i'm serious) :

handcuff your hand with your leg when you sleep in night until graft is well fixed on you head. It will prevent you to scratch accidently your head and remore graft.
