Happy New Year! 

 

We are also very proud to announce that Dr Garsing Wong is the first and only locally born and trained hair restoration surgeon in New Zealand to be recognised as a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery by participating and showing proficiency in both extensive written and oral examinations, each of which is statistically validated with regard to his ability to discriminate between those whose practice habits are consistent with safe, aesthetically sensitive hair restoration surgery.

The Diplomate status reflects the importance of being certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.  As of the 21st December 2023, there are only 261 Diplomates of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in the entire world.

Dr Garsing Wong is a recipient of the James E. Arnold, M.D. Award for achieving the highest mark in the written component of the ABHRS
Examination held in October 2023.

 

Hair Transplantation is a SAFE and RELIABLE method to restore your hairloss if you have suitable donor hair.  We can only use your own natural hair to transplant where it is desired.

​

New Zealand Hair Transplantation Institute is proud to announce that we are the first and only Kiwi-born hair surgeons in New Zealand to offer  Long Hair Transplantation via FUE (aka Preview Long Hair Transplantation) meaning NO SHAVING required, and no linear scar.  Your hair is carefully removed from your donor area without any need to shave and will be transplanted to your recipient site. 

​

The biggest advantage for our patients, is that you will not need time off work so long as the surgery will be only minimally visible.

 

LONG hair transplantation has been made possible with our revolutionary Trivellini Tech vacuum assisted multiphasic FUE hair transplant system first developed in 2011 by Dr Roberto Trivellini in Paraguay.  The system combines years of evolution and technological improvements in the fields of electronics and materials to create the state of art FUE system.  We are the first and only clinic with Kiwi-born hair surgeons in New Zealand offering this technology (23/09/2023).  This advanced technique has been made possible with the Trivellini Tech system and their specially designed punches that allows us to remove your hair without the need to shave.  Harvesting is naturally slower as meticulous care needs to be taken when extracting your long hair.  This limits the amount of hair we can extract per session.  Patients often opt for multiple sessions spaced four months apart.  As there is no need to take time off work, this is a great option for patients who require discretion.

 

Traditional FUE hair transplantation method where your head needs to be shaved, allows more extensive transplantation which will suit a majority of our patients.

​

We find the Trivellini system so good that we are the only clinic to have TWO Trivellini systems!  

​

Kiwi's by nature are very shy, and we respect everyone's privacy, hence we can show you before and after photos of our patients who have given their permission, during the consultation. 

​

We are unique in New Zealand as we have locally trained doctors who live and work full time in Auckland.  Drs Wong and Doo perform all extractions and hair transplantations.  We use the implanter pens to place your precious hair into the area.  This method has been called "DHI" or Direct Hair Implantation by some clinics.  We are also a teaching clinic, hosting and teaching senior medical students from the School of Medicine, University of Auckland.

​

New Zealand Hair Transplantation Institute trading as New Zealand Hair Transplant has its rooms in the Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinic.  New Zealand Hair Transplantation Institute is Auckland's first permanently full time FUE Hair Transplantation Clinic specialising in permanent hair restoration to restore and treat bald and balding men and women who have thinning hair, hair loss or receding hair lines, correct areas of hairloss due to scars or accidents, eyebrow transplants, beard transplants, facial hair transplants including moustache, goatee, side burns, and cheek beard, pubic hair transplants with qualified internationally trained Kiwi doctors. 

​

All consultations and surgery are performed by our qualified specialist kiwi doctors, who are  full members of the World FUE Institute as well as full members of the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. Dr Garsing Wong is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. We can offer a permanent hair loss cure as well as prescribe for you scientifically proven hair loss medication to give you the best hair transplant result and help you to regrow your hair, giving natural looking, permanent results.

​

The most crucial aspect to focus on during hair transplants is the creation of a natural hairline. This critical feature requires precise attention to harvesting enough appropriate single hair follicles and placing them in your hairline, thereby creating macro and micro irregularities.

​

Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness) will benefit from taking scientifically proven and safe medicines. 

 

A good analogy to understand hair loss and medication is to compare it to a bucket of water. Imagine your head of hair as a bucket filled with water, and the hair on your scalp represents the water in the bucket. Similar to the limited amount of water in the bucket, we have a fixed number of hairs on our head.

​

Now, let's consider Male Pattern Baldness. It's as if there's a small leak in the bucket, which leads to hair loss over time. As the water (hair) escapes through the leak, you experience thinning or balding in certain areas.

Hair transplant restoration surgery comes into play as a solution to this problem. It involves moving water (hair) from one part of the bucket (donor site) to another (area of hair loss). This way, the balding area gets replenished with hair, like redistributing water to fill the empty spaces.

​

Prescribed medications, on the other hand, play a vital role in managing hair loss. They can act like a cork that reduces or stops the water from escaping the bucket, effectively slowing down or even halting the hair loss process. These medications have been scientifically proven to be effective in preventing further hair loss and maintaining the hair you still have.

​

So, by using medication, we're essentially taking measures to plug the leak in the bucket, preserving the hair we currently have and potentially preventing further hair loss in the future.

​

We are committed to providing long-lasting and permanent solutions for restoring your hairline and addressing baldness using the latest surgical methods. Our custom-built surgical suite in Auckland, New Zealand is dedicated to addressing your hair loss concerns.  Surgery involves surgery, and as such you can never say that a surgical procedure is scarless however with careful selection and advanced techniques, the resulting scars are often difficult to detect.  We strongly encourage our patients to incorporate FDA/Medsafe approved medications and scientifically proven topical treatments into their hair care regimen. These treatments help preserve your existing hair, promote thicker growth, and mitigate thinning and hair loss.

​

It's important to note that, like all medical and surgical procedures, guaranteed results cannot be guaranteed. Patients may need to budget for ongoing care and potential maintenance surgeries in the future. We are here to support you throughout your hair restoration journey.

​

The impact of balding and premature hair loss extends beyond personal appearance. Research presented by the University of Otago on the Breakfast Show on TV One highlighted how men without hair loss or balding are perceived in terms of their leadership abilities.

​

Dr Garsing Wong and Dr Thomas Doo stay up to date with the latest research on baldness treatments. They have a particular interest in Dr. Takashi Tsuji's research on stem cell and hair cloning therapy for curing hair loss.

​

They also had the opportunity to hear a stimulating presentation by Professor Angela Christiano, Vice Chair of Research in Dermatology and Genetics and Development at Columbia University in New York City. Professor Christiano provided updates on her groundbreaking work with JAK inhibitors, which stimulate hair growth in bald areas with dormant hair follicles present. We share Professor Christiano's vision of growing hair follicles in the lab and subsequently transplanting them, although commercial availability of this technology may still be some time away. Nonetheless, the future of hair loss treatment holds promise.
