Does electrolysis after FUE destroy surrounding target hair?

Question

I am planning to remove my transplanted hair. I am worry that electrolysis will not only destroy the hair that I want to remove but also the hair that I want to keep.

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.Consult with a specialist who can answer and clarify any questions you have about removing your transplanted hair.

Miguel Mascaro, MD · Answer

When done appropriately, electrolysis should be targeting the only the hair that is treated, and none of the surrounding areas.  Make sure that you go to someone who is qualified and well experienced with electrolysis, as what you describe can certainly occur with laser hair removal depending on the spot size.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. You may be a candidate for NeoGraft because it is an incisionless method for natural hair regrowth. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine what is best for you.
Best wishes,

Elasticity after a FUT procedure will return in a matter of weeks or months, usually. It may take a little longer after multiple procedures.

If done correctly, laser hair removal is a good option and will not harm the surrounding hairs. Make sure that you get the advice of a specialist before proceeding with any treatments.
