State of the art fue surgery makes it technically possible to move hair from anywhere to any location. The most important aspect is the size of the punch and of course the surgical skill set. The punch should be .9 mm or less, to heal with scars that are not visible to the naked eye. We use the smallest punch possible usually .6 mm, this ensures rapid healing within a few days. The pain recovery is usually overnight, and the resultant micro-scars are not visible!

When pubic hair is concerned, most women think of hair removal and waxes. For many people, keeping the pubic region hair-free as much as possible is ideal. But not everybody wants to remove the pubic hair, some people might want to restore hair in that area.
There are plenty of reasons for people wanting to go for a hair transplant in the pubic region in which laser hair removal is one of them. If you had laser hair removal in the past and are now regretting it or wishing to restore your hair, you can opt for a hair transplant procedure. Pubic hair transplants are also performed for concealing the scars caused by the surgery on the genitals in males.  
The hair transplantation to the pubic region is very similar to that of transplanting hair on the scalp. It is done exactly in the same way as all the other hair transplants. Typically, the cosmetic surgeon will do either Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Follicular unit grafting involves removing a strip of skin containing hair follicles from the donor site and transplanting the graft to the recipient site. While in follicular unit extraction, skin is not removed, rather individual hair follicles from the scalp are directly collected and inserted into the recipient site by making small incisions. This method allows faster healing and less scarring, therefore you can opt for an FUE hair transplant after laser hair removal in the pubic area. It is also recommended to consult a doctor to clearing educate yourself about the procedure.

Hello.
It is possible to get a transplant to those areas after laser hair removal. Micro channels can be created just like it is done with the scalp and then the grafts can be implanted.
