SECTION 9 — Practical Examples: Male Face & Beard, Examples 7 to 9
Find the Case That Looks Like Yours
These examples help men understand how duration and expenditure are estimated at Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic. Each uses a real patient photograph, drawn from the records of thousands of patients treated over more than four decades, so that you can find the case closest to your own and use its estimate as a financial planning benchmark.
We begin with white beard hair — the reason most men contact us, because laser cannot treat white hair. Every budget is shown both at the card rate of ₹6,000 per hour and with currently available programmes, and each is the complete projection for the whole programme, paid in stages — never in one go.
These examples are Educational Estimates — Not Quotations. Actual requirements may vary with density, hormonal influences, previous plucking or other tampering, biological response and treatment regularity.

How Every Budget Is Built
Each example uses the same five components (explained in Section 8): Consultation ₹2,000 (once), Constitutional Oral Medicines ₹1,500 per month, Disposables & Consumables ₹500 per visit, External Applications ₹985 per set, and EBVHCM Procedure Charges.
- Under offer — 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity): 15 hours for ₹30,000, i.e. ₹2,000 per hour, for programmes of 30+ hours. Remaining hours at the Inoculation Privilege rate of ₹2,400 per hour (also rarely available).
- Promotional packages: for programmes under 30 hours — e.g. 5 hours ₹27,000; 10 hours ₹49,000 with 10+1 benefit; 20 hours ₹90,000.
- Otherwise, card rate: ₹6,000 per hour, payable per visit — ideal for very small programmes such as a few white hairs.
For constitutional medicines, white-hair cases are budgeted for 6 months (extended only if required); other cases for 12 months.

Example 7 — Male — White Beard Hair — 100 to 150 White Hairs
- Age: Approximately 38 years
- Problematic area: Approximately 100–150 white or grey hairs scattered through the beard — chin, jawline and under-chin
- Problem since: Greying over approximately 5 years
- Temporary methods adopted: Shaving or trimming (untampered); in some cases, plucking out the white hairs (tampered)
- Last temporary removal: Shaving 2 days before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history. No hormonal abnormality reported.
This is the largest group of men who write to us and travel to Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic. Laser cannot treat white hair at all — white hair has no melanin for the laser to target — while EBVHCM treats every hair colour equally.
No history of plucking — 5 Hours
The first clearance takes approximately one hour. The total requirement is approximately 5 hours spread over 3–4 clearances, because new growth and thin regrowth also have to be cleared (Section 6). Estimated 3–4 clearances over approximately 4–6 months — approximately 4 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5-Hour Promo Package = ₹27,000 | Card rate: 5 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹30,000 | Saving = ₹3,000. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: ₹10,000 first instalment — the rest as the clearances proceed. Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.
| Component | With Programmes (With Medicines) | With Programmes (Without Medicines) | At Card Rate (With Medicines) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consultation | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 |
| Constitutional Medicines (6 months) | ₹9,000 | — | ₹9,000 |

| EBVHCM Procedure Charges | ₹27,000 | ₹27,000 | ₹30,000 |
| Estimated Total | ₹40,985 | ₹31,985 | ₹43,985 |
Complete projection for the whole programme (4–6 months) — paid in stages, not in one go. Constitutional medicines budgeted for 6 months (may be extended if required).
With a history of plucking — 8 Hours
If the white hairs have been plucked, the Factor-of-8 applies: first clearance of about 1 hour × 8 = approximately 8 hours (Section 3). Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 8 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 3-Hour Promo ₹17,000 + 5-Hour Promo ₹27,000 = ₹44,000, each bought as the clearances require | Card rate: 8 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹48,000 | Saving = ₹4,000. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: ₹10,000 first instalment — the rest as the clearances proceed. Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.

Example 7 — Male — White Beard Hair — Fewer Than 50, or About 50 White Hairs
- Age: Approximately 28 to 42 years
- Problematic area: A small number of isolated white hairs, mostly on the chin and under-chin
- Problem since: Recent greying
- Temporary methods adopted: Shaving or trimming — no waxing, threading or laser
- Last temporary removal: Shaving 1–2 days before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history.
A typical enquiry: a young man of 28 from a hill state with only 10–15 white hairs. For him, constitutional medicines for about six months help delay further greying, and a single visit to Delhi usually removes the existing white hairs. A second or third visit is suggested only if resting (telogen) hairs, or hairs left by earlier plucking, surface later.
Fewer than 50 white hairs — 1 Hour
Usually one visit; budgeted at up to 1 hour at card rate. Further visits only if late resting hairs appear. Estimated 1 clearance — usually a single visit — approximately 1 visit. EBVHCM procedure charges: Pay per visit at card rate: 1 hr × ₹6,000 = ₹6,000 — no package required. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: Consultation ₹2,000 + first month's medicines ₹1,500 + one set of external applications ₹985 + the visit's procedure time at card rate. Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.

| EBVHCM Procedure Charges (card rate, per visit) | ₹6,000 | ₹6,000 |
| Estimated Total | ₹18,485 | ₹9,485 |
Complete projection for the whole programme (1 visit) — paid in stages, not in one go. Constitutional medicines budgeted for 6 months (may be extended if required).
About 50 white hairs — 2 Hours
Approximately 2 hours over 2–3 clearances and about 4 visits, paid per visit at card rate. Estimated 2–3 clearances over approximately 4–6 months — approximately 4 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: Pay per visit at card rate: 2 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹12,000 — no package required. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: Consultation ₹2,000 + first month's medicines ₹1,500 + one set of external applications ₹985 + the visit's procedure time at card rate. Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.

Example 8 — Male — Beard — 50% White / Grey
- Age: Approximately 45 years
- Problematic area: Full beard area — approximately 50% of the beard has turned white or grey
- Problem since: Greying over approximately 8 years; shaving for approximately 15 years
- Temporary methods adopted: Shaving — daily (untampered). Tampered cases: plucking or trimming of white hairs
- Last temporary removal: Shaving 3 days before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history. No hormonal abnormality reported.
A 50% white beard means approximately 12,500–15,000 white or grey follicles out of the total 25,000–30,000 beard follicles. In untampered cases (shaving only) the first clearance is longer, as all hairs are available at the same time — but the programme is shorter, as there is no hidden burden from pulling methods.
With a history of tampering — 60 Hours
Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 10 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + Inoculation Privilege (rarely available — remaining 45 hrs × ₹2,400) = ₹1,08,000 | Total = ₹1,38,000 | Card rate: 60 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹3,60,000 | Saving = ₹2,22,000. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: ₹34,485 (Consultation ₹2,000 + 5+10 Intro Programme ₹30,000 + first month Constitutional Medicines ₹1,500 + one set External Applications ₹985). Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.

No history of tampering — 50 Hours
Estimated 5–6 clearances over approximately 8–12 months — approximately 8 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + Inoculation Privilege (rarely available — remaining 35 hrs × ₹2,400) = ₹84,000 | Total = ₹1,14,000 | Card rate: 50 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹3,00,000 | Saving = ₹1,86,000. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.

Example 9 — Male — Cheekbone — Permanent Beard Shaping
- Age: Approximately 28 years
- Problematic area: Cheekbone area on both sides — a permanent, clean upper beard line
- Problem since: Daily shaving for approximately 6 years to maintain the beard line
- Temporary methods adopted: Shaving — daily
- Last temporary removal: Shaving 2 days before consultation
- Medical history: No hormonal abnormality. No medications reported.
Permanent beard shaping through EBVHCM removes only the unwanted border follicles and leaves the desired beard design untouched. Once complete, no further shaping or maintenance is needed.
With a history of tampering — 20 Hours
Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 6 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 20-Hour Promo Package = ₹90,000 (Option A). Option B, when the 5+10 programme is available: 5+10 Intro ₹30,000 + 5-Hour Promo by inoculation ₹27,000 = ₹57,000 | Card rate: 20 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹1,20,000 | Saving = ₹30,000. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.
First visit if starting treatment: Option A: ₹10,000 first visit, then ₹26,667 + ₹26,667 + ₹26,666 | Option B (when 5+10 is available): ₹30,000 first visit + ₹27,000 by inoculation. Consultation and demonstration only: carry ₹2,000.

Why White Hair Needs EBVHCM — and Laser Cannot Help
Laser works by targeting melanin, the dark pigment in hair. White, grey and very light hairs contain little or no melanin, so laser energy simply passes them by — it is ineffective on them, however many sessions are done.
EBVHCM works differently. The fine probe reaches each follicle directly, and galvanic and blend energy act on the germinal cells whatever the colour of the hair. This is why men with white beard hair — from a few strands to half a beard — travel to Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic from other cities and countries.
White hair is not a lost cause. It simply needs the right method.

Important Transparency Note
These examples are Educational Estimates — Not Quotations. Offers are not rates. The 5+10 Introductory Programme is rarely available, applies one time only, and its 15 hours must be consumed within 30 days. The Inoculation Privilege is also rarely available. Both may be modified, suspended or withdrawn without prior notice.
Card Rate Safety Rule: the card rate of ₹6,000 per hour remains the reference at all times. Hours given never run ahead of the amount paid, and any early settlement is calculated at card rate — a 5+10 programme then counts as 5 hours, not 15.
Make hay while the sun shines. Please confirm prevailing programme structures on WhatsApp or telephone before planning travel.

Consolidated Summary — Male Examples 7 to 9
| Example | Hours | At Card Rate | With Programmes | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 — No history of plucking | 5 | ₹43,985 | ₹40,985 | ₹3,000 |

| 9 — No history of tampering | 10 | ₹82,985 | ₹71,985 | ₹11,000 |
Every total is the complete projection for the whole programme and is paid in stages, not in one go. Very small programmes are paid per visit at card rate. All figures are educational estimates based on 41+ years of clinical experience.
Notice how plucking white hairs adds to the programme: a 5-hour case becomes about 8 hours. If you have only a few white hairs, the best thing you can do is stop plucking them and plan a visit.

Mild, Moderate or Severe — and What to Carry
Your own case may be milder or more severe than these examples. The Mild / Moderate / Severe hours for every facial area are in the reference tables of Section 7 — use them alongside these examples.
- A few white hairs (pay per visit): consultation ₹2,000 + first month's medicines ₹1,500 + one set of external applications ₹985 + the visit's procedure time at card rate.
- 5-to 20-hour programmes: ₹10,000 first instalment — this reduces the initial burden only; nothing is waived.
- Programmes of 30+ hours, with 5+10 available: ₹34,485.
- Consultation and demonstration only: ₹2,000.

SUMMARY — SECTION 9 — MALE FACE & BEARD
Find your match: real male cases from among thousands corrected at Valeda — white beard hair first, then a 50% white beard and cheekbone shaping.
White hair: laser cannot treat it; EBVHCM treats every hair colour. 100–150 white hairs: about 5 hours (about 8 if plucked). A few white hairs: usually one visit.
Paid in stages: every amount is the complete projection for the programme — paid through the first visit, instalments and per-visit costs, never in one go.
Offers: 5+10 at ₹2,000 per hour is rarely available; otherwise the card rate of ₹6,000 per hour applies.
