I was wondering if there is any chance of electrolysis harming non-targeted hairs. ie: I want to have some hairs in the frontal region removed without targeting hairs directly around it. Is this risky or is this a very precise technique? Any opinions are highly appreciated.

Bumps could be shocked hair growing back...

I shaved my head. The scar is quite visible.

Does FUE leave any type of scarring? Most doctors say "No" but wanted to hear first hand. If not, is there any explanation why? I was told sutures would not scar and now I have two rows of dotted scars...

How severe is your scarring? I have some scarring but I'm not sure how bad it is in comparison.

Where did you guys have work done?

What do you mean by excess scarring? Can you give an example? I am in the same position and currently thinking of electolysis over FIT/FUE... Not 100% sure which way to go but my impression was that electrolysis would leave fewer markings. I do have some pitting and scarring in my temples so not sure which avenue to take. Do you have experience with both FIT and elec?

Arson, Listen closely. I was in a similar predicament and thought a HT was the answer after trying everything. If you think your life is bad now, let me tell you, getting a HT with your condition will make you wish you could be back where you are now. Do not do this, the sad fact of the matter is that currently there is no answer to your problem and a HT is no solution. Don't make a bad decision. If you want to do it, seriously wait. For me, getting a HT has accelerated hair loss everywhere else and left me with less than I had before even after the surgery... The hair behind has receded beyond the grafts, my scalp is scarred and there is really no way to get back to where I was.

Any opinion on a tanning salon? I don't know much about them but that was the option I was considering since it is winter. Is this a safe alternative or a potentially bad idea? I feel a tan would definitely make things blend together better in appearance.

About 5 years now... No regrowth but it seems to have slowed recession somewhat

Why every other day? Curious... I take it every day...

I noticed at about 6 months post op, the original healthy head of hair I had behind the receding areas is now thinning out quite a bit. I believe this is somehow related to the original operation since I have read many posts like this. Is this normal to see at the 6 month period? Will it continue or is it something that might reverse itself? I'm a little confused, if only this was mentioned when I was sold on the procedure...

Is tanning bad for a HT? I am about 6 months post op and shaved my head (the grafts were not placed well so I decided to just shave). The donor scar is still a little pink and I was wondering if tanning my head would be a good or bad idea. Since there is no sun this time of year, I was thinking of a tanning salon and just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a bad move (I can't afford any more of those).... Any thoughts?
