Dr. Arika Bansal

Co-founder·Eugenix Hair Sciences

India

Background

Arika Bansal co-founded Eugenix Hair Sciences with Dr Pradeep Sethi, holding an MBBS from Lady Hardinge Medical College and an MD in Dermatology from AIIMS, New Delhi.1 She specialised in hair transplant techniques.2 The clinic describes her as one of the few female surgeons in India specialising in hair transplant surgery, focused on female hair transplants, density and hairline design, under the motto "Do it once, do it right."2

Procedures and techniques

Eugenix operates clinics in Gurugram, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bhubaneswar.3 Services include male and female hair transplant, FUE, its Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) technique, hairline reconstruction, beard transplants and repair of failed procedures.4 In DHT, recipient sites are created first, then grafts are scored with a motorized punch and loaded into SAVA implanters for simultaneous extraction and implantation.3 The clinic says this keeps grafts outside the body under 30 minutes, versus three to four hours in conventional FUE.5 It adds that immediate implantation raises graft survival above 95 percent.6 It looks for a stable donor area and a diagnosis of pattern baldness rather than alopecia areata, and is cautious with patients under about 25 whose pattern has not stabilised.6 For women, it first checks for reversible causes such as thyroid, iron deficiency or hormonal shifts, and offers a non-shave option.6

Pricing

Eugenix does not publish a flat per-graft rate: cost depends on graft count, package and clinical profile, with a personalised estimate at consultation.5 Its cost page notes Indian clinics typically charge between INR 100 and INR 500+ per graft, framed as a general market figure, not Eugenix's own price.7

Booking and aftercare

Most male patients get a free initial consultation at any of its four clinics, usually with a founder-trained panel surgeon; direct consultations are also available.5 The clinic frames this as a medical screening, not a sales meeting, saying it will tell a patient plainly if a transplant is not their best option.6 On the morning of surgery its staff handle any required shaving, and beard hair is kept as a backup donor source if needed.6 It describes a post-surgery team reachable by phone or text through recovery.4

Credentials and memberships

Dr Bansal is listed as an ISHRS Fellow Member in Gurugram, Haryana.8 The clinic states its Gurgaon clinic holds NABH accreditation.5 It also states Eugenix is the only clinic IADVL-accredited to train dermatologists in hair transplant surgery.4
