What's the possibility of hypopigmentation treatment (FUE scarring) with microneedling? (Photos)

Question

I had a bad hair transplant. So I've been researching microneedling for white scars and have found good results. I have pale skin and hope to camouflage scars as best as possible and I do not want SMP. I have found no studies of repigmentation on scalp and was wondering if any doctors had advises on this. Growing hair out a non option.

Thank you for your question. These can be improved with a combination of surgery and/or lasers and microneedling/prp. Below is a more detailed reference list of the treatments available. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert to determine which is best for your specific case. Best, Dr. Emer
1. vascular lasers (yellow laser, vbeam, excel v)
2. fractional lasers (fraxel, erbium, co2)
3. microneedling/PRP
4. silicone based scar gels with growth factors
5. excision / revision surgery see an expert.

Thank you for your question, there is no scarring with microneedling when done correctly by someone who is trained in this procedure.
