Now in thinking also for the future. If i go bald with my natural hair i want to remove my implanted grafts. Is that possible? Or do i have to life with it my whole life. And shave it with a razor. Kind regards! I live in Europe Netherlands.

It's great to hear that your hair transplant went well and that you're planning ahead. If you're considering removing the implanted grafts in the future, it is technically possible, though not a simple process. Hair removal can be done using methods like laser hair removal or electrolysis, but both options typically require multiple sessions and may not guarantee complete removal of all transplanted hair.
Laser hair removal targets darker hairs, so it might be effective on implanted grafts if they contrast with your skin tone. However, transplanted hair is often more resistant to removal than natural hair, so you may need to commit to ongoing sessions. Electrolysis is another option, offering more precision and the potential for permanent hair removal, but it can be time-consuming and more expensive.
If you're set on maintaining a shaved look in the future, you could also choose to simply shave the area regularly, which may be the most straightforward option. Ultimately, while hair removal is possible, it’s not always guaranteed to completely eliminate every graft, so you’ll want to weigh your long-term preferences and comfort with regular maintenance.
