Laser Resurfacing to Smoothen Hair Transplant Cobblestone Effect?

Mike Tenant
I had a hair transplant done years ago that probably was a mistake. I'd now like to just be bald.Trouble is, the transplanted area is covered in 2 to 3 mm depressions, many a much darker pink than the rest of my caucasian scalp. I can't just shave the area.My impression of laser resurfacing is that it can bring smooth skin to patients who begin with relatively mild skin problems. For those with more significant problems, improvements are partial.Can laser resurfacing give me a smooth pate, or is it likely to leave a bumpy, discolored mess?
