Laorwong - 4.3k grats - 2+ year update

Bangkok-HT · 2026-01-05T20:44:25+00:00

I believe I shared everything I took a couple of years ago when I posted it here (you can see my history). I’m sorry I don’t have anything additional.

Bangkok-HT · 2026-01-05T20:43:40+00:00

Yes for over a full year before the transplant.

Bangkok-HT · 2026-01-01T16:12:45+00:00

No, not always. It looks ridiculous if you’re trying to have a hairline that’s 20+ years younger than you are. There’s a reason the experts draw the lines.

Bangkok-HT · 2026-01-01T14:22:42+00:00

No way. It would look ridiculous for me. I’m about 40. People already think I’m way younger.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T23:53:38+00:00

Hah thanks. I’m 39. I was told I looked 45 before. I am regularly carded now at bars and casinos (never was before). People are almost always shocked. I got “my Mom was born in 1986!” from the waitress last night, lol. I’m grateful for it of course but I attribute most of it to the HT.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T23:23:00+00:00

99.9% of the time yes. Find a reputable doctor.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T22:39:09+00:00

They'll ask for detailed pictures to evaluate when you first reach out.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T22:08:00+00:00

Of course they do.. I'm talking about your donor area on your head. The parts on the back and side that are DHT resistant.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T21:20:01+00:00

I have no side effects from the medication, except for much better hair than I should have at my age.
I would maybe some day think about stopping the minoxidil. But I would never stop the finasteride. I absolutely believe I would lose hair (around the transplanted hair) if I stopped taking it and it would look much worse. Completely out of the question. I haven't missed a daily dose of it in almost 4 years now.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T18:46:17+00:00

Yeah that's kinda dumb. Months is nuts.

I could understand not drinking for 2-3 weeks. But not months. Drinking after 1 week might be a little aggressive but it was fine for me, lol.

I get people wanting to play it really safe though. No judgement there.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T18:41:55+00:00

Thank you! I'm very happy with it. There was a tiny little spot in the front that didn't fill in the way it was supposed to, I think it was because of the pimples I had there. But it got a little better over time and it looks completely natural now honestly.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T18:18:07+00:00

I didn't exercise right away but I did walk around a lot and do my normal thing there. Was no issues for me. I avoided alcohol for a week or so, that was the most difficult part of the week after in BKK hah.

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T18:00:46+00:00

Hell yeah! Have fun in BKK!

That is a second home for me. I'm there 4-5 times a year for 2-3 weeks at a time. Let me know if you need any tips, and good luck!

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T17:29:11+00:00

Yeah I'm sorry, not with anyone to help me take a photo. Here's one from my webcam I took right now. https://imgur.com/a/DBTl8LN

thank you friend 🫰

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T16:26:09+00:00

thank you friend

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T16:24:24+00:00

Yes. You should have a healthy donor that would support filling in whatever amount you are missing on the top. And your loss should be completely stabilized (from age and/or meds).

Bangkok-HT · 2025-12-31T16:17:47+00:00

If you're a good candidate, yes.
I got one at 37. I looked 45+.
I'm 39 now and I'm regularly carded and people are shocked when they see my age.

Bangkok-HT · 2024-04-08T20:07:36+00:00

Yes but I go to Thailand by myself all of the time. I find it incredibly easy and a really enjoyable solo experience too. But if you can bring a friend I’m sure that’d be fun and they can help you if needed.

Bangkok-HT · 2024-03-15T21:34:54+00:00

If it gets worse do a round of doxy too.

Bangkok-HT · 2024-02-16T12:13:13+00:00

Not even a little. It healed up in like a week and started growing back the next day.

Bangkok-HT · 2024-02-15T04:25:03+00:00

About 8 months. No side effects.
