Asked By:Dmac81 in New London, CT

Hi all. I had FUE procedure done a month ago. I’m scab free just have a pinkish head at the mo which is clearing day by day. I started the expected shed after 2weeks. My question however is. Some areas I’ve shed in, I can see the hair under the skin but other areas where I know follicules were implanted via post op pictures. I cannot see or feel the follicule at all. Will the areas with Just skin still have hair growth or should I be worried Thank you in advance for you responses.
