I am 32YO Male. Underwent HT 7 years ago. I had prominent ridge formation on the transplanted area (1200grafts were planted on the frontal area). I took corticosteroids shots on the transplanted area which reduced the ridge’ size by 50-60%. I was wondering if co2 laser will reduced the ridge size further and will it damage my transplanted hair follicles? Or is it better to remove the transplanted hair follicles and plant it back in the donor area and undergo co2 laser resurfacing on the ridgy area and then undergo another HT?
