Regular Member Ramons Posted July 16, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2022 Thought I would share some pics of my recent procedure with Dr Laorwong. As you can see I had a massively receded hairline which I had hidden for years with hats or an average comb over. Some stats; 43 years old Finasteride for over 15 years – with no side effects Loniten for over 15 years – an oral version of minoxidil, only side effect is total body hair growth 😊 I have a large head so surface area compared to others should be considered when comparing to others I chose the higher hair line due to my age, my starting point and due to always having a high hair line Shout out to Hristo13 for posting and providing me with the courage to go ahead and for answering my questions. Procedure went well, no pain, sleeping was easy – was a long day though and got increasingly uncomfortable in the chair…old man bones seizing up. Flew out back to Australia 2 days after the procedure and had no discomfort flying…and only 1 overzealous security guard making me take off the bandana – the shock on his face though said he wish he hadn’t. Overall a good experience and I would recommend it. I am 1 month post procedure and the shed has commenced so I will post again once I get some growth. Thank you to Melvin for your time and efforts to keep this forum running and to all who share – it truly makes a positive impact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 16, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 16, 2022 Congratulations on choosing a great surgeon and one you will never find in this country! The fact you are on finasteride and minoxidil should keep these results in good health for a long, long time to come! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to following your updates!

Regular Member Tiger2050 Posted July 19, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2022 Looks really good. What dose of oral minoxidil are you using? People on oral minoxidil tend to see early growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedding furiously…I have a few random hairs growing fast but most have now shedded and some shock loss surrounding the recipient area. Recipient area very pink so just waiting out the ugly duckling phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular reason. Saw results of his patients, prompt service, good reviews, Dr Laorwong does the surgery, he is a reserved man like myself (although his is probably because of intellect), had availability when suited.

Otty Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hey mate, fellow aussie here 👍. Thank you for sharing your experience with Dr Laorwong. Curious to know where you were able to get oral Minoxidil? Assuming you need a prescription to purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member eyeballs11 Posted September 7, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted September 7, 2022 Thanks for sharing your story, as an Aussie it’s great to see reviews on the doctors closer to home. How are things tracking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Marlo Posted November 3, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2022 Wow you're an oral minoxidil veteran. What made you use it back when you began? It wasn't a popular treatment at all at the time as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if I didn’t reply…only just noticed this now. Yes a prescription is required. I got mine prescribed originally through a hair loss clinic and have remained on it ever since. Now my GP just does the repeats online and the price has dropped massively over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely sure….it is sad to maybe admit but I am that laid back I didn’t ask or really care. Glad I did them though it makes such a huge difference and they are already looking very strong.

I went to 3 hair loss clinics back in the day - Innovative Hair Loss Solutions, Advanced Hair and Ashley and Martin. Whilst I only paid for treatment at IHLS all 3 provided the same treatment plan. So I eventually just asked my Dr for the prescriptions and also sourced my own LLLT device. All 3 clinics prescribed Loniten, Finasteride to go along with their overpriced shampoos, vitamins and laser therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
