I started microneedling and minoxidil about 4 months back on a more or less weekly basis.
I was near botak at the crown area band now I could see a lot of hair growth. My friend now congratulates me that I am no longer 地中海。

I cannot attribute the success to the above treatment as I have done many things like PRP and fotona laser on a 5 weekly interval, finasteride, almost daily led light cap for 30 mins , hair growth vitamins like biotin, zinc, millets, vitamin C.
All these were started like 6 months ago.

Just try it and hope you find the right formula. All the best

Actually hair loss is best slow down at a young age like early 20s with oral medicine like finasteride.
I see some sellers of the medication probably have more hair than me when they first started their treatment.

Don't wait until the receding hairline becomes worse then start, get a referral from polyclinic first then head over to NSC for consultation.

If you have M shape balding then they got no reason to ignore your cause for concern.
I was prescribed minoxidil during my poly years at the age of 19.
i thought minoxidil can just go watsons / guardian buy the spray type de

The effort u put in i really respect. For me im currently on minoxidil and i don't see any result, so thinking of trying this combo as it seems to be the one that works? Not sure if NSC doctor would advise on using this method?

Can share what brand and mm u are using now and anything to take note when using? As there are many different microneedling device out there, not sure which is the better one sia. Ty!!

I got this Dr Pen M8. I used 1.5 mm and the speed is 5. No side effects and not painful like some experiences. I experienced occasional itchyness and thought its a good thing as this is part of healing process.

how this work actually? poke your skin up and down in auto mode when holding the pen vertical? I am using the manual rolling type, pain will depend the level of strength on the scalp...

Yes automatic and holding straight. I got derma roller too and switch to pen as I read it is more effective.

The transplanted hair starts to grow. I only did the front top part as I do not have a lot of hairs follicles for transplant.

In the fifth month now

I did hair transplant in Bangkok in last August.



After much research, decided to go with Dr Laorwong of Absolute hair clinic. No doubt his prices were much higher, but decided to go ahead with him due to the prompt reply when making enquires and many good reviews on hair restoration network forum. After all, it is an operation, and I don’t mind paying more for better results.



The number of grafts that he advised were very different from, says Dr Patty of Transhair clinic. I heard that he is more conservative on the number of grafts but yet able to provide optimal results.



Still too early to tell if the results are good, as from what I understand, transplant to the crown area may take longer than usual to see results.



Feel free to ask me about the procedure if any, I will try my best to answer.

Regarding cost, the doctor quoted me 80 thb per graft. I understand some were quoted 70 thb per graft, which I consulted with the doctor and he informed me that 70 thb was for ops involving 2000 grafts and above.

Things to take note

I feel that you have to communicate with the doctor, as I believe most cases are unique. Just reach out via line or WhatsApp, ask and ask since it is free to ask anyway. If possible drop in early to have a physical consult to have peace of mind.

After procedures, I think nothing much after all the most painful part is over. Just don't bump or knock your read into things and you should be fine. Depending on which clinic you go to, try to plan your trip to fulfil the full course provided by the clinic.
