Find the Case That Looks Like Yours
This page completes the twelve practical examples of Section 9 with body areas — chest, shoulders and back — and with a transgender woman whose face and body hair had turned white. Each uses real patient photographs, 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.
EBVHCM treats follicles, not people: the same science, the same care and the same honest arithmetic apply to every patient, whatever their gender. Every budget is shown at the card rate of ₹6,000 per hour and with currently available programmes, and each is the complete projection for the whole programme of 12–18 months, paid in stages — never in one go.
These examples are Educational Estimates — Not Quotations. Actual requirements may vary with density, hormonal influences, previous waxing, plucking or other tampering, biological response and treatment regularity.

How Body-Area Budgets Are Built
Every example uses the same five components (explained in Section 8): Consultation ₹2,000 (once), Constitutional Oral Medicines ₹1,500 per month (budgeted for 12 months), Disposables & Consumables ₹500 per visit, External Applications ₹985 per set, and EBVHCM Procedure Charges.
Body areas carry far more follicles than the face, so programmes usually run to 30 hours or more — where the 5+10 Introductory Programme at ₹2,000 per hour (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) and the Inoculation Privilege at ₹2,400 per hour (also rarely available) make the greatest difference. Otherwise, the card rate of ₹6,000 per hour applies.
| Area | Mild | Moderate | Severe | Approx. Follicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest (Black Hair) | 30 | 50 | 70–150 | 9,000–15,000 |
| Chest (Grey Hair) | 20 | 30 | 50 | 6,000–9,000 |
| Shoulder | 30 | 50 | 70–150 | 6,000–12,000 |
| Back | 20 | 30 | 70–150 | 12,000–15,000 |
Hours cover the complete programme of 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — not one sitting.

Example 10 — Male — Chest
- Age: Approximately 32 years
- Problematic area: Complete chest, including the central chest line and upper abdomen border
- Problem since: Approximately 12 years
- Temporary methods adopted: Shaving and trimming every 7–10 days; waxing for occasions (tampered cases)
- Last temporary removal: Trimming 6 days before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history. No hormonal abnormality reported.
The chest has approximately 9,000–15,000 follicles with black hair (Section 7). Men usually seek permanent chest hair removal for comfort in hot weather, sports, swimming, and to avoid the itching and ingrown hairs that follow repeated shaving.
Mild / Moderate / Severe reference (Section 7, Chest (Black Hair)): Mild 30 hours · Moderate 50 hours · Severe 70–150 hours. The two estimates below fall within this range; your own case may be milder or more severe.
When You Have a History of Tampering — 90 Hours
Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 15 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + Inoculation Privilege (rarely available — remaining 75 hrs × ₹2,400) = ₹1,80,000 | Total = ₹2,10,000 | Card rate: 90 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹5,40,000 | Saving = ₹3,30,000. 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.
| Component | With Programmes (With Medicines) | With Programmes (Without Medicines) | At Card Rate (With Medicines) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consultation | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 |
| Constitutional Medicines (12 months) | ₹18,000 | — | ₹18,000 |
| External Applications (3 sets) | ₹2,955 | ₹2,955 | ₹2,955 |
| Disposables & Consumables (15 visits) | ₹7,500 | ₹7,500 | ₹7,500 |
| EBVHCM Procedure Charges | ₹2,10,000 | ₹2,10,000 | ₹5,40,000 |
| Estimated Total | ₹2,40,455 | ₹2,22,455 | ₹5,70,455 |
Complete projection for the whole programme of approximately 12–18 months — not an amount paid in one go. It is paid in stages: the first visit, instalments and per-visit costs as treatment proceeds. Constitutional medicines are budgeted for 12 months.
When You Do Not Have Any History of Tampering — 60 Hours
Estimated 5–6 clearances over approximately 8–12 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.
| Component | With Programmes (With Medicines) | With Programmes (Without Medicines) | At Card Rate (With Medicines) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Disposables & Consumables (10 visits) | ₹5,000 | ₹5,000 | ₹5,000 |
| EBVHCM Procedure Charges | ₹1,38,000 | ₹1,38,000 | ₹3,60,000 |
| Estimated Total | ₹1,64,970 | ₹1,46,970 | ₹3,86,970 |
Complete projection for the whole programme of approximately 8–12 months — not an amount paid in one go. It is paid in stages: the first visit, instalments and per-visit costs as treatment proceeds. Constitutional medicines are budgeted for 12 months.

Example 11 — Male — Shoulders & Back
- Age: Approximately 30 years
- Problematic area: Both shoulders and the complete back
- Problem since: Approximately 10 years
- Temporary methods adopted: Waxing every 3–4 weeks (tampered cases); trimming by a family member (untampered)
- Last temporary removal: Waxing 3 weeks before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history. No hormonal abnormality reported.
The back alone covers approximately 450 sq cm with 12,000–15,000 follicles, and the shoulders a further 6,000–12,000 (Section 7). Because the back is hard to reach, most men rely on waxing — which, like every pulling method, adds hidden follicles to the permanent programme.
Mild / Moderate / Severe reference (Section 7, Back + Shoulder): Mild 20 + 30 hours · Moderate 30 + 50 hours · Severe 70–150 each hours. The two estimates below fall within this range; your own case may be milder or more severe.
When You Have a History of Tampering — 80 Hours
Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 15 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + Inoculation Privilege (rarely available — remaining 65 hrs × ₹2,400) = ₹1,56,000 | Total = ₹1,86,000 | Card rate: 80 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹4,80,000 | Saving = ₹2,94,000. 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.

When You Do Not Have Any History of Tampering — 50 Hours
Estimated 5–6 clearances over approximately 8–12 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 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.

- Problem since: Approximately 8 years
- Temporary methods adopted: Waxing every 3–4 weeks (tampered cases); trimming (untampered)
- Last temporary removal: Waxing 4 weeks before consultation
- Medical history: No significant medical history.
Many men want only the shoulders cleared — the area most visible in vests, gym wear and swimwear. It is shown here as an option within Example 11, using a real photograph of another patient.
Mild / Moderate / Severe reference (Section 7, Shoulder): Mild 30 hours · Moderate 50 hours · Severe 70–150 hours. The two estimates below fall within this range; your own case may be milder or more severe.

Estimated 5–6 clearances over approximately 6–10 months — approximately 6 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + remaining 15 hrs best promo = ₹70,000 | Total = ₹1,00,000 | Card rate: 30 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹1,80,000 | Saving = ₹80,000.

Example 12 — Transgender Women: You Are Welcome Here
Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic has treated transgender women for many years, in the same private, respectful setting as every other patient. The follicles do not know who you are — and our doctors treat them with exactly the same science and care.
Gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT) and hair growth: hormone therapy may make some facial and body hairs finer and slower-growing, but it rarely stops them. The follicles remain alive and continue through their growth cycle — growing, resting and returning. Only treating each follicle at its root, through all its cycles, ends that growth permanently. This is why the same 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months apply.
Some patients also need permanent hair removal from the surgical area before sex reassignment surgery (SRS), as advised by their surgeon. This is carried out discreetly, by a doctor-led team, with full privacy.
Every patient is addressed as they wish to be addressed. Your records, photographs and conversations remain confidential.

Example 12 — Transgender Woman — White Hair on Face & Body
- Age: Approximately 33 years
- Problematic area: Chin, under-chin and neck, with white hair on the chest and shoulders
- Problem since: Approximately 10 years; facial and body hair turning white over the last few years
- Temporary methods adopted: Waxing — regularly, for several years (tampered)
- Last temporary removal: Waxing approximately 2 weeks before consultation
- Medical history: Transgender woman on gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT). An FUE procedure attempted elsewhere had left severe marks on the treated skin.
Because of the waxing history, the first clearance needed approximately 8 hours; with the Factor-of-8 for pulled hair (Section 3), the total becomes approximately 8 × 8 = 64 hours. Had the hair never been pulled, the estimate would have been approximately 8 × 5 = 40 hours. Laser could not have helped: most of this hair is white.
When You Have a History of Tampering — 64 Hours
Estimated 7–8 clearances over approximately 12–18 months — approximately 12 visits. EBVHCM procedure charges: 5+10 Introductory Programme (rarely available — one time — 30-day validity) 15 hrs = ₹30,000 + Inoculation Privilege (rarely available — remaining 49 hrs × ₹2,400) = ₹1,17,600 | Total = ₹1,47,600 | Card rate: 64 hrs × ₹6,000 = ₹3,84,000 | Saving = ₹2,36,400. The totals below are the complete projection for the whole programme — not paid in one go.

Healing the Marks — and Removing the White Hair for Good
Before coming to Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic, this patient had undergone an FUE procedure attempted elsewhere. It left severe marks on the treated skin. Healing those marks took our team more than eight months of patient, step-by-step care — constitutional medicines, external applications and careful scheduling of every sitting.
Nonetheless, the white hair has already been removed permanently — hair that laser could not have treated, because white hair has no melanin. The skin has continued to improve alongside the treatment.
Marks from earlier treatments elsewhere are not a reason to give up. With the right care, the skin heals — and permanent hair removal can continue alongside it.

Leading estimate = with a history of tampering, except Example 7 (untampered; white-hair cases, 6 months of medicines) and very small programmes paid per visit at card rate. Every total is the complete projection for the whole programme and is paid in stages, not in one go. All figures are educational estimates based on 41+ years of clinical experience.
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. Please confirm prevailing programme structures on WhatsApp or telephone before planning travel.
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.

Your First Step — What to Carry
- Programme of 30+ hours, with 5+10 available: ₹34,485 (consultation + 5+10 programme + first month's medicines + one set of external applications).
- Smaller programmes (under 30 hours): ₹10,000 first instalment — this reduces the initial burden only; nothing is waived.
- Consultation and demonstration only: ₹2,000.
Your first visit takes about an hour. The doctors at Valeda Skin & Hair Clinic will tell you which example your case is closest to — and give you your own estimate of hours, months and cost. Next, Section 10 answers the 20 questions patients ask most often.

SUMMARY — SECTION 9 — BODY AREAS & COMPLETE FACIAL BEARD
Find your match: real body-area cases — chest, shoulders and back, shoulders only — and a transgender woman with white hair on face and body.
Body areas: usually 30+ hours, where 5+10 at ₹2,000 per hour and inoculation at ₹2,400 per hour (both rarely available) save the most.
Follicles, not people: transgender women are welcome; hormone therapy may make some hairs finer, but only treating each follicle ends growth permanently.
Marks heal: severe marks from an FUE procedure attempted elsewhere took more than eight months to reduce — and the white hair is already permanently removed.
Paid in stages: every amount is the complete projection for a 12–18-month programme — never paid in one go.
All 12 examples: the master summary lists the leading estimate for every example in Section 9.
