Just shave it. Having a little bit of dark shade in the hairline after you shave it not bad as it gives your face a profile. I have seen many people who bald from crown and top but still have some hairline so it is not completely unnatural to have a hairline but bald scalp and if you shave it it will not be bad. Electrolysis has its own good and bad but it is still a procedure and will cost and from what I know even with electrolysis its not like once done all done. It may need follow-up procedure after few years just like SMP.

What are the bad sides of electrolysis? I think I will shave in time.  I’m just planning for the future. Thanks for your response.

Hi all

Did you have or know anyone who used electrolysis to remove any unwanted hair?

I had a hair transplant a few years ago and even though i was happy with it, I’ve had to stop taking medication. This has meant my hair loss has continued and hair behind the transplanted hairline has receded more.

I'm in a pretty low place right now and am looking into electrolysis to kill any grafts that have been placed too far down my hairline.  Im not interested in a repair work as I don’t want any more scarring especially on the front of my head.

any help would be highly appreciated.

1900 grafts FUE

Yes of course I will keep you posted I had two separate Transplants about 1300 grafts each time. How about yourself? What is the problem you're having?

Did you say you looked in to electrolysis to get rid of the transplanted hairs? I’m thinking of just doing that, cutting my losses. But I do not know if it leaves any marks?? I can’t seem to find a case anywhere about this.

I had 1900 grafts in 2 separate sessions. I’m 35 now and I had to stop taking finisteride as it was causing me problems. I’ve since thinned more behind the transplanted area so I’d just like to remove the transplanted grafts and maybe embrace the shaved look.

You can do that without reversing your HT

To just shave and not reverse it you mean?

I’m confused as to why you’d reverse the surgery. Why not just shave your head? Presumably you’d do that anyway if you hadn’t had the HT and were going bald?

I’ve had a hair transplant (hairline and temples). My issue is I am thinning behind the hair transplant so I want to remove the transplanted hair and embrace the shaved down look.

I’m going through something similar, so I’ll keep an eye on your post if you don’t mind letting us know what you went for. Im thinking electrolysis myself. Just not sure if it scars at all. How many grafts did you have with your FUE may I ask?

Hi all

I want to see if there are any of you out there that share a story similar to mine.

I’ve had an FUE hair transplant 4 years ago. I was really happy with it but I can no longer take finisteride. I stopped taking the miracle drug about a year after my surgery and my hair has continued on its natural course of being a little thin up top.

I also cannot take rogain.

my question is: what options have worked well for you if you decided to remove your transplanted hair? 
 

A surgical procedure to relocate the transplanted hairs may cause shock loss so I’m not sure if I’ll need to jump back on the medication to stabilise any potential shock loss if this method worked for you.

im open to electrolysis. Did anyone use this method? Did it leave any scarring?

Again, I don’t regret the surgery, it’s just unfortunate I cannot take the pill any more (personal reasons).

I appreciate any help.

If I were to reduce the dosage of fin, what would be a safe yet effective amount?

I know that on average we lose 100 hairs per day. I will keep an eye on it but it’s when I comb I see up to thirty or more. This is only from a few brushes. I might be paranoid about that but it’s not pleasant.

Thanks all. I really appreciate your notes and advice.

At 7 months post-op lots of new growth should be taking place...how much new growth have you noticed or is it just shedding?...have you started any new hair loss meds recently?

I highly recommend that you discuss this with your surgeon.

unfortunately medication gave me side effects so I cannot take them.

i have noticed hair growth so that is not a problem. It’s the shedding that I was concerned about. Is that normal?

Hi all

i had a hair transplant in February. About 1000 grafts.

i am now 7 months in and have noticed increased hair shedding. Not sure if it’s native or transplanted. I wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar? How long can shedding last post surgery?

thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info all. I’ve had work done before with Dr. Peter Williams in the UK but I’ve not seen many people talking about his work here for some reason. Had 1900 grafts. Looking for a touch up mid scalp maybe 1000 grafts 

Hi All

I’m doing a bit of research looking for any highly recommended FUE surgeons in Europe? I am based in the UK.

From what I’ve read, Hasson and Wong Is one of the best in the business but am wondering if there is anybody in Europe on par with these guys?
