Dr. Garsing Wong

Dr Garsing Wong is a hair restoration surgeon at the New Zealand Hair Transplantation Institute in Freemans Bay, Auckland, New Zealand 12. The clinic is collocated at Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinic 2. It says he and Dr Thomas Doo live and practise full-time in Auckland and personally perform all hair transplant procedures 1. New Zealand's medical register lists his medical degree as MB ChB 1991 from Auckland, with fellowships in urgent care and general practice 3. The clinic says he is an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Auckland 1.

The clinic offers three FUE methods: fully shaved, partial-shave and long-hair FUE without shaving 1. It also lists eyebrow, beard and facial hair, and transgender hair restoration, plus PRP and medication 2. It says Drs Wong and Doo personally carry out donor harvesting and graft placement with implanter-based techniques 1. It says it uses two Trivellini multiphasic FUE systems and Choi-type implanters 1. Its smallest procedure is 400 follicular units, about 10 cm², and it says most patients need around 1,000 4. It says long-hair harvesting takes longer, which limits the area treated in one session, so larger areas may need staged procedures 1.

The hair transplantation service page says prices start from $5700, in New Zealand dollars, for the 400-unit minimum 4. The clinic says prices include GST, the operating theatre fee and the set follow-up consultations 4. It says partial-shave FUE costs about 20% more than fully shaved FUE 5. It says long-hair FUE costs twice as much, with a minimum charge of $5,700 covering about 5 cm² 6. A 45-minute consultation costs 150 New Zealand dollars 7. Quotes are given after consultation and are valid for six months 4.

A face-to-face consultation is required before surgery can be booked; video consultations are offered to patients living outside Auckland 7. Surgery takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays 2. The clinic says it sees patients the next business day and at one week, one month, six months and one year after surgery 1. It says these follow-ups are included in the cost of surgery 1. It gives patients a post-surgical pack and the doctors' mobile number 1.

The clinic says he is the first New Zealand-based surgeon awarded ABHRS diplomate status 1. It says he co-chairs the ISHRS Advanced/Board Review Course and is an ISHRS Ambassador for Patient Safety 1. Registry records list him as an ABHRS diplomate and an ISHRS Fellow Member at the clinic's Auckland address 89. The Medical Council of New Zealand lists him as practising, with no conditions 3.
