Is hair removal with FUE possible for the scalp?

E
eliascanetti1Feb 25, 2017

I had a Hair Transplant 1 year ago with FUE technic and i totally not happy with the result. I want all hair gone. Laser hair removal is painful and i would need several sessions. I don't want it. But is it possible to remove all hair(planted and my own hair) with FUE extraction technic ? Now my donor area is full of with white spots because they extract hair from there. Is it my own scalp color or does FUE leaves white spots like this? I know it's weird question but i need a solution. Thank you

Shock loss is due to the loss of normal hair whether it is from donor site or recipient area.  It can occur with both FUE and strip procedures.  Usually if it occurs it will take place in the recipient area. Individual results may vary.   Shock loss from hair transplant can occur due to the fol...

Most doctors have specific post operative instructions.  Ask your doctor if you have questions you are concerned about.  In general you can resume normal activity after 2 weeks.

An asymmetric hairline isa good hairline. It looks like you will get a good result. Don't worry It will be fine. Most surgeons including myself follow the irregularities of your current hairline to achieve a natural look to hairline reinforcement.
