    Unhappy Any experience of removing transplanted hair with laser?

    Hello All,

    Firstly, I apologise if this rather long-winded post is contrary to the purpose of this forum (i.e. hair restoration) or if this topic has been discussed before (I can’t find a similar thread) but I would like to know if anyone out there has any recent experience of having transplanted hair permanently reduced/removed by laser?

    BACKSTORY
    In 2004 (in my naïve, impressionable and very desperate early 20s) I underwent a hair transplant procedure whereby several hundred individual hair grafts were implanted into my front hairline. The procedure was perfectly successful in terms of the survival and re-growth of the transplanted hairs but the results were just not what I anticipated.

    BACK TO TODAY
    Now I just wish I could have the hair grafts permanently removed so that I can put this horrible part of my life behind me and move on (it’s affecting my life greatly). I just want them removed - NOT improved, NOT corrected and NOT transferred back to the donor area.

    I understand that you can have transplanted hairs removed surgically but this is an option that I would rather avoid if at all possible. I believe I am a good candidate for laser hair removal (i.e. pale skin and thick dark hair) but I need to know if laser can destroy transplanted hairs successfully. I have heard that transplanted hairs are rooted slightly deeper than natural hair and laser may not be able to touch them. Does anyone know if this is true?

    So basically, what I’m asking is…..
    1. Has anybody had transplanted hairs successfully removed with laser (or know if it’s possible)?
    2. If so, what type of laser would be most effective at destroying transplanted hair?

    I would be extremely grateful if anybody can offer advice or suggestions.

    Thank you in advance, jfarrell
