Laser Hair Removal of Hair Transplant?

Question

I had a DHI transplant. I can't stand it. The transplanted hairs are right at the front of my head surrounded by almost complete baldness. This has been an emotional nightmare for me. There appears to be very limited to no scarring on the recipient area. Is laser hair removal a legitimate possibility? And, if so, how effective can I really expect that to be? I do have light skin and very dark brown hair. Thank you in advance.

I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through &mdash; feeling unhappy with the results of a hair transplant can be incredibly distressing.
Yes, laser hair removal is a legitimate option for reducing or removing unwanted transplanted hair, especially in your case where you have light skin and dark hair &mdash; that’s the ideal combination for laser effectiveness.
Multiple sessions will be needed (typically 6–8). Results can be very effective, often 70–90% permanent reduction. Patch testing is advised before committing to full sessions.
