What's the best treatment for pitted skin near hairline? (Photo)

December 17, 2014
Asked By:fatface in Los Angeles, CA

I want to undo a HT that I regretfully had done nearly a dozen years ago. I plucked out the transplanted hairs in the recipient area and discovered noticeable pitting. I'd like to treat the pitting and then simply get rid of the transplanted hairs via electrolysis. What's treatment yields the best results? I've heard promising things about the TCA Cross Method used for ice pick acne scars. Can this be used in my situation?

Answer: You can't undo a bad hair transplant or scars. It's like Herpes. You carry it for life.
