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.

After a year would take a failed transplant and turn it into a success. Considering that I have been in the field 24 years and performed over 15,000 surgeries, my experience must have some value here.
A)Necessarily for 12 months but it is also advisable to use it systematically longterm. b)After 10 days and this should be done carefully and gradually according to the doctor's advice.
Usually most of the grafts are settled in mad the follicles are inside the skin after three weeks. The chances of damage to hair grafts after three weeks is very low.
