  1. Hello everyone sorry for late response. I am attaching photos from now almost 4 months after and i am very happy with result. The first two are under indoor light and last photo is outside. I think it is very difficult to discern unless nearby.
  2. Hello, it has been almost 5 weeks now and some of the hairs started shedding. Most of the hair looks good but it hasn't been too much time. I did not notice any shock loss yet so hopefully it stays.
  3. Hello. I did hotel instead of abnb because at the time hotels had so many promotions it was much cheaper than usual prices. I think now there should still be promotions. For first the hotel I stayed at marriott courtyard around 50$ and then changed to millenium hilton because distance. It around 100$ per night but with membership I got suite upgrades.
  4. Hey @JC71 I am healing up well thanks for asking! No issues so far and probably one of the happiest moments in my life after going through with it. It is like finally being able to feel in control.
  5. @eyeballs11 He answered all my questions, but I think for a lot of more detailed questions would be better over email first. In person it might be more difficult to understand with accent and things for a possibility of misunderstanding. During the consult, I said I expect to lose more hair because of bald family members and he looked over the donor area with the magnification tools and said everything was good. He also estimated my number of grafts and told me I have more for the future, but I did not go into too much detail. I already felt comfortable with his judgement. Also there is a female Dr. Panchaprateep in the same office building and she is very knowledgeable of treatments for preserving hair. I had a consult with her after because I was looking to remove cysts from my ear and it was unbelievably convenient. She was able to schedule a few days later and the operation was less than an hour. It seems like she has numerous awards for medical studies including the one that looks like a giant metal hair follicle, so I felt very lucky to receive care from her as well.
  6. @_lshy Today I will have my 4th day of LLLT and cleaning. In the last photo with hair down I think it is already difficult to detect. Also to clarify Dr.Laorwong was involved the whole time with the surgery and there was a second doctor in the room along with the technicians.
  7. @Gatsbyyes the prices seemed very reasonable to me for the quality. Also Bangkok is an awesome place for recuperation/vacation. The food is great and you can order anything you want with grab app so less things to stress about. @bw77The doctor was involved with the whole process. He seems serious, but also caring and wanted to make sure everything was done well. However I couldn't really tell who was doing what after lying down, but there were multiple people in the room. I think he was on one side of me and another person was on the other side operating at the same time. Also someone was massaging my legs during initial injections which helped with the stinging haha.
  8. Thank you everyone! @Briguyhe did shave the area, but only a little because I had a skin fade done the week before. The cost was 80baht per a graft (for shaved fue) and the total ended up being around 3000 usd total. The prices are higher if you wanted non shaved fue. In addition, I would highly recommend planning costs for logistics in terms of place to stay.There can be a lot of traffic and the city is hot so I would encourage spending more on a nice hotel that is nearby.
  9. Hello, I just had a surgery done by Dr. Laorwong yesterday and have been very happy with the experience. I just posted pictures on the reviews page if you would like to see them. Please let me know if you have any questions I am still in Bangkok now receiving post treatment.
  10. Hello Everyone, I am writing a review to give my experience with Dr. Laorwong. The surgery was completed yesterday and I am posting the following day after my first cleaning. Overall the experience was great. The doctor and staff are very professional and I felt like they truly cared about the outcome of the surgery. These included pictures show the day before surgery and the day after(following the first cleaning). Background - Slowly losing hair since 20. Beginning of this year turned 28 and started taking Finasteride 5x and Dutasteride 2x a week which has slowed hair loss. My ethnicity is mixed race with majority asian. I looked at numerous hair surgeons online, but really like the work of Dr. Laorwong because in the testimony pictures of other patients the hair seemed similar to mine. With my hair type, face shape, and hairline l felt more confident with a doctor who had many asian/mixed patients. In addition, his patient pictures looked very good and would be difficult for me to know they had a transplant done if I saw any of them walking down the street. Experience - Began communication through email and was able to make an appointment one month in advance for November 2021. Requested a conservative hairline because I expect to lose more hair in the future based on family genetics. The day before scheduled surgery, I came into the office for a consultation and the doctor went over the hairline based on what I wanted. The office was very clean and I could see the staff were competent and professional. They listened to my requests and questions. The doctor went into detail about many factors including the direction hair growth, so I felt very confident in his care about the outcome. The next day went in for surgery at 830 am and was done by around 4 pm. The surgery included PRP in the beginning and LLLT(low laser light treatment) at the end. I was very happy the next day after seeing how clean everything looked. The pictures were taken after the first day going back for hair washing and LLLT. The treatment includes 5 day post treatment for cleaning and LLLT. I am glad I stayed longer to accept the post treatment because it alleviated a lot of stress knowing that the doctor will check for the possibility of any problems following the procedure. I would recommend anyone else to also stay longer for the post treatment because the clinic can answer any quests that you think of after the surgery. Currently, I have not had much time to see future results, but so far everything looks excellent to me. Conclusion - I highly recommend Absolute Hair Clinic. The staff are great. Please let me know if anyone has any questions about the experience. I am also very grateful to this forum because I was able to learn what was and was not possible about hair treatment. This website is a great resource and hopefully this review can help others.
  11. I see the product on minoxidilmax website after searching reddit. Is this a good place to order or are there other websites recommended?
  12. Just started profile on this website to become more informed and will try to share my experience also in order to help others. Hopefully I can provide updates that might answer someone else's question. Attached is photo of current hairline July 2021, continuing research and looking at transplant within 1 year. I am from usa but probably will travel to another country based on price for the quality seems like worth traveling.
  13. Hello I just started researching about hair transplants more thoroughly and have been looking at numerous websites for information. I watch a lot of reviews and videos on youtube about hair restoration and was wondering if anyone has opinions on Dr. Gary Linkov videos. I was surprised on this website I could not find any posts about him and was wondering his channel is a good source to stay informed or if I should not spend so much time listening to him. He has many views on his videos so was just curious Thank you for your replies.
  14. Thank you for the post, currently researching doctors in thailand for restoration. I am curious others people post about dr. path on the recommended list but I only saw laorwong, was he taken off the list for some reason? Currently I am looking at both path and laorwong, did you look out or consider and other doctors in thailand?
  15. Does it matter when they talk about the type of machines they use? I see on the websites they always use different machines but each one claims they are good or unique technology..
