I really really hope so. I just don't understand how you can cause extreme pain to an area, tingling and everything without causing some damage.
In reality, the tech has no idea what it is like to go through a 10 hour surgery, literally protect that area with your life for a month, be insanely gentle, and then have someone else take the liberty of hurting that area. No matter what, your mind is going to remember the pain of surgery, and undoubtedly be disturbed to the point of thinking all the money time and care was for nothing. Not to mention the waiting time after, it is a complete lack of regard for patient well being, even if it doesn't do any damage.
What I'm struggling with still is that I know some people who have scarring alopecia have poor graft growth. Would the formation of new scar tissue not hinder growth? As in, any harm to the skin forms some level of rough exterior, and so wouldn't this essentially hinder growth, even if just minimally.
