I had a hair transplant done years ago that probably was a mistake. I'd now like to just be bald.
Trouble is, the transplanted area is covered in 2 to 3 mm depressions, many a much darker pink than the rest of my caucasian scalp. I can't just shave the area.
My impression of laser resurfacing is that it can bring smooth skin to patients who begin with relatively mild skin problems. For those with more significant problems, improvements are partial.
Can laser resurfacing give me a smooth pate, or is it likely to leave a bumpy, discolored mess?
The scalp is an area which can be resurfaced, very much in the same manner as we would resurface the face. It is difficult to tell without seeing your scalp, but I would consider using the Vbeam perfecta to address the red or pink areas and then resurface the scalp with the Fraxel repair. Depending on the amount of damage, you may need multiple treatments. Take care, Dr. Groff
