One possible treatment is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and a Acell mixture injected into the scalp, and then activated with a SkinPen.  The SkinPen treatments could then be continued on a monthly basis for 6 months.  This might assist with the nodularity that you are experiencing, and in many instances can assist with thickening existing hair, which also may camouflage the areas that you are concerned about.

You should research some of the top clinics in the world and look in to having a repair job done.Do not let the location of the clinic make you decide who to have the procedure done with. You only have one chance to fix the bad result that you currently have. You should research the very top clinics and go with who's results you like the best. Many of today's top clinics will reimburse you for travel cost, and you can leave for home the very next day after the procedure, so travel and location should not be a top consideration when choosing your doctor. The result you receive will be permanent and there for life, so don't be afraid to take a trip to go with your favorite clinic.

Cobblestonning is the result of poo hair transplant technique and is unusual. The treatments are difficult to find and are somewhat radical. If you have hair that needs to be thickens, cobblestonning can be hidden in a new hairline performed properly, of course

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

Cobblestoning is due to improper technique and needs to be avoided by seeing a well qualified hair transplant surgeon to avoid bad results. Best method at this point is to do your research well, try to find a full-time hair restoration surgeon with a great reputation with a larger portfolio of satisfied patients and see if you are a candidate for masking the cobblestoning.
