Donor area destroyed 7.5 months post 2,000 grafts FUE. What are my options besides Scalp Micro Pigmentation? (Photo)

fuepatient212
7.5 months ago I had 2,000 grafts FUE hair transplant. As time passed by the donor area still looks depleted just like the pic taken 5 days post op. To add insult to injury the recipient areas look disappointing as well, but I'm willing to give that more time. Is there anything I can do to re-activate hair cells in donor area? Derma treatments perhaps? Have non-transplanted hairs also been damaged in the donor area? What are my odds of the donor area still improving after 7.5 months?
