It's 350 RS + 18% tax which is 413 RS per graft for their top package. That's around $22k USD. If you meant H&W for Canadian Dollar, then it's nearer $28K CAD. 

That's obviously excluding flights and hotels etc. you'd need but procedure to procedure cost. Hope that helps.

The 350 RS is this with Dr Sethi and Arika plus staying at the farm house? I paid more per grafts

I think you'd have to ask Eugenix directly about the Farmhouse as officially that's not mentioned just 2 nights complimentary stay.

Dr Sethi also chooses which cases he wants to be involved with so you again have to request to Eugenix. 

Why did you say you paid more per graft than the advertised price + tax?

I paid 500 but this includes Dr Sethi doing the extractions.

I think you must have got something more customised because their website when it was working (seems its down atm) says 350RS package has Dr Bansal do 100% of the extractions whereas the Dr Sethi package is a case by case if he chooses you. 

So i genuinely don't know how your price is so high tbh.

I believe it’s customized since he mentioned both founders will be involved.

Dr. Sethi is more expensive than Dr. Arika, it's around $5-6 per graft.

They may have taken it off their website but that's not quite as accurate because there was 3 packages initially. 120RS involved Dr Arika for hairline design, slits and crucial extraction and then Senior Techs. 210 RS had her be even more involved with extraction of 300-400 grafts and more hands on with the hairline. However, there was a 350 RS package with her fully involved and Dr Sethi was on the 350 RS only package with a case by case disclaimer. 

So, Dr Arika is involved in more packages even now with her dropping the 120 RS completely to just having the senior doctors like Dr Das etc. lead and do stuff to only being on the 210 RS and 350 RS packages only. Personally i think cost shouldn't be a full factor in any decision making but Eugenix are not typically for the top package price any different than anywhere in Europe for top clinics, but they are imo still semi-new so time will hopefully tell if they can keep the consistency of results we come to expect from them and of course the Eugenix brand as its mainly becoming at lower price points with their own capably trained senior doctors and technicians.

I don’t believe Dr. Sethi should be considered a lower price doctor. In my opinion, he’s as skilled as Konior, Cooley, Hasson, De Freitas, Bisanga, Mwamba. All of these surgeons are around the same price, with the exception of a few who are twice as costly.

Don't get me wrong, Dr Sethi is building himself a formidable reputation and track record, but internationally he's still kind of new on the scene really. 2018 onwards is when they started imo coming out from the fringe of just being in India to really getting noticed more Internationally. That 4 year period has had a pandemic for like 2 of them, so it's hard to say where Dr Sethi can remain in such esteemed doctors but i do think they care about their quality and reputation. 

I am planning to go there myself because of their specific history with being able to do temple point recreation which very few clinics seem adept at and particularly for the budget i had. 

If i had a higher budget, i may have opted for Dr Arika or Dr Sethi but i am reassured with the results shown off even on here i'd be in good hands with Dr Das who is scheduled to be my lead surgeon for the procedure hopefully in May. 

I was leaning to them prior to joining this forum but seeing all the guys here and their results as well as talking to people like @MazAB made me feel more confident in going ahead with Eugenix. I am a touch disappointed that i did miss out on Dr Arika being involved still in the 120 RS package i chose but very happy i got to speak with Dr Das and she put my mind at complete rest and feeling i was in good hands alongside a chat with Armen. 

Generally, i think it's best to go by your own experience and results, but the confidence from others is making me feel comfortable in the choice as well as yourself having been there albeit i would say your situations probably a little bit more VIP than the rest. Nothing wrong with that, just not quite indicative of what i will get and most i guess.

Alright guys,

I can’t believe it’s been two months, the time is flying. I will say that my hair is probably peak ugly duckling right now. I had quite a bit of shock loss in the midscalp and hairline. It looks very patchy currently, but I do believe the crown has some slight growth. Thank you all for joining me in my journey and shout out to @tony71 nice to virtually meet you 🙏🏼

Would you consider a point of shaving all the hair on the top at the same length when growth begins in the 3rd month? or will you let it all grow wild and get a haircut in the following month? 😁

I’ve considered shaving it, but I’ve only kept it long so I can document it as transparent as possible. Plus longer hair helps with fibers. I can look pretty good with fibers.

Can you post a photo of yourself with hair fibers? Just curious how much of an impact fibers have on the appearance. 

[Britanium]

Definitely got those fibre skills…. 😉

@Melvin- Moderator how do you pick your fiber color? I'm thinking about buying some but I'm just not sure what color to choose. Did it take you a couple of times to get it just right?

My hair is dark brown almost black so it was easy for me, if you have dark hair then dark brown is probably the best color.

That’s precisely why I make these videos and this thread, so that when OCD guys watch it they can relax. It’s all part of the process. The patchiness and growth will come in the next few months. Once it does, there’s documentation to refer back too.
