Laser Hair Removal of Hair Transplant?

September 18, 2024
Asked By:Reliable304681 in San Diego, California

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.
