Sami1990 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) This is going to be a very long post but I wanted to let you all know about my journey of Hair Restoration. At the early age of 20 I started noticing that my hair are falling rapidly. And by the time I reached the age of 25 it went really bad. I could notice my hair getting thin and the gaps kept getting deeper and eventually by the age of 27 baldness reached to my crown area. To hide the hair loss, I would wear a hat most of the time. I tried everything to stop my hair loss but all the solutions went in vain. I researched a lot about Hair problems and its solutions. In course of my quest to search a solution to my problem I came to know that Hair transplantation is one solution but it was very costly and in some cases it fails too. Then I came to know about SMP which was far cheaper. I was ok with SMP but the problem was SMP creates illusion of having hair but you needed to keep your head shaved all the time. You need to keep shaving your head every 2nd or 3rd day so that it would not get obvious as SMP is just like tattoo on scalp. Since I was having lot of skin issues, I could not shave my head so it would look really bad and people would easily notice it. I have been searching for Hair loss solutions from past 2 years. When pandemic hit in 2020 March, I had time for researching more about Hair Restoration programs. I am from US and came to know about Eugenix from Joe Tillman Podcast. Joe helps in educating viewers about Hair transplants. There was a podcast where Joe discussed about Hair Restoration with Dr Pradeep from Eugenix. The way Dr. Pradeep gave in depth explanation on Hair Restoration was amazing. I am so thankful that I stumbled upon Dr. Pradeep’s Videos. From May 2020 I was in constant touch with Eugenix for my consultation. In July 2020 I got 2inches of my SMP removed thorough laser treatment as it was very low, Dr Pradeep was very much helpful for this, he sent me details about other patient who went through SMP and got hair transplant done from him. I had appointment for October 2020 but due to covid restriction I missed the appointment. My next appointment was scheduled for April 2021 but then I got covid and again missed my appointment. Finally, I got my transplant done in September 2021. 1st DHT Sitting – 2975 (Saturday) 2nd DHT Sitting – 1550 (Sunday) I was very worried about how the procedure is going to happen. I was very much afraid about the pain while the transplantation was in progress. Thanks to the doctors it was not discomforting at all. On first sitting I arrived early in the clinic. Dr Pradeep marked the outline for transplantation. As the procedure started the staff took care of everything. During the breaks I would get all my requirements met. As the transplantation was over for day one, I arrived at my hotel & while looking at myself in the mirror I thought I wanted the hairline to be little lower, about the same I called and discussed with Dr. Pradeep. He was happy to help me the way I wanted it. On second sitting, as discussed with Dr Pradeep I got my hairline little lower and got remaining grafts done. Earlier I thought that my donor area at the back of my scalp were not strong and doctors would extract hair from my beard too but my scalp donor hair were strong enough. After years of research about hair solutions and SMP which I will not recommend to anyone personally as it is very hectic to keep shaving your head, I was finally going for Hair Transplant. Since I am from US the price of transplantations done in US is very high, so I was looking for other alternatives but then I was also scared about the results. I also considered hair restoration centers in Turkey which was not that much costly compared to US. Eugenix was one Hair Restoration Center in India which I was comparing with another Center. I was very confused at the start but then I created certain parameters of my own and decided that the center which will fulfill those parameters, I will go with it. PRICE, EDUCATON, CREDENTIALS, & RESULTS were those parameters on which I was evaluating the centers and Eugenix has the most authentic results and credentials. Moreover, their price was very competitive, affordable and also the Doctors at Eugenix were very actively educating hair loss patients across the globe about Hair Restoration. Photographs of my Hair Restoration Journey : would be sharing more picture and progress on it. Stay tune....

Senior Member ITA Posted September 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2021 @Sami1990 Excellent writing, you have chosen to go to one of the best hair transplant clinics, as we can see from the photo of the procedure, the work is clean as we have now grown accustomed to seeing, in addition, their support after the procedure (which to my opinion is as important as the procedure) is the top. You will surely have a great final result. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rbs Posted September 13, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted September 13, 2021 Great choice and a great hairline. Love what they have done with the no of grafts. I had mine at Eugenix as well. 2500 grafts in July by Dr Bansal and am eagerly waiting for the ugly duckling phase to be over. On meds; are you planning on getting on to Finasteride? I highly recommend it if you do not get any sides. I have been on it for the last 2 months and I see noticeable difference in thickness and crown density already! Good luck with everything and will be following your journey keenly! 2 My Hairloss Story and 2,500 Grafts FUE with Eugenix Transplant Date - 18 July 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipton Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Looks very good, can I ask what package you went for? I am also considering Eugenix but just not sure about Technicians doing the work rather than Dr Bansal or Sethi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gramatik Posted January 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Looks very clean job. Eugenix is a great clinic to select. Good luck mate...Do you know the densities of grafts/cm^2 in each area that you transplanted (hairline, midscalp, crown) ? Also the total transplanted area in cm^2 ?
