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

January 20, 2019
Asked By:HTDUNNE2013 in Los Angeles, CA

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.

Hi!  Thank you for your pictures.  How many days ago from microneedlig did you take these pics?
