Senior Member gillenator Posted October 15, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2011 Laser removal of the unwanted hair is less invasive than having them extracted with a FUE technique. Be sure you go to someone very experienced in that type of laser removal because not all doctors are.

rahul1983 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks for your quick reply... i belong to india.. i am approaching some experienced dermatologist for this removal. However, i would like to know if you recommend someone in my locality. I am in City-JAIPUR, State-Rajasthan Country- India. Also, i shaved off a small region & i found no marks are visible. Under light focus, i could notice small dots. Would these small dots go away with laser or they will be permanent for lifetime.. I am so much fed up with transplant that i dont want to go for another transplant. I would rather be happy with little dots. Please let me know which laser is best to use.. would an IPL laser do the job or there is some advanced technology avialable.. Awaiting your reply.. Please help..

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2011 Rahul, While I'm not making any sort of comments about the qualifications of its physicians, you may want to check national medical organizations like the Indian Association of Dermatologists for certified Dermatologists performing the procedure in your area. Additionally, you could always try to consult with Dr. Madhu, who may be able to provide some useful information about removing the unwanted grafts. Good luck!

All medical questions and concerns should be addressed by a personal physician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahul1983 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks for your reply but unfortunately it is of no use... I am stuck in the same situation as i was. Let me tell u my story.. I fell into a bornfire while dancing & some forehead hairs were damaged, i went to a hair clinic and they suggested a hair transplant. i did not know anything about transplant & they sold me well enough through their skills. It has been a year n i m fed up with my life. I have no scar at the back of my head.. even if i shave my head it is not visible. In the forehead lines 400 follicles were transplanted & that stupid doctor created a additional hairline which i never wanted. Now, it has been one year & nobody has never noticed anything like transplant. i fell ill couple of months ago & had major hair loss. Now, that additional hairline is visible under light focus. I have to attend my brothers marriage in January & i am feeling very conscious right now. Please advise me on following points : 1) Would laser be able to destroy hair follicles? If yes, then up to what extent ? I have done enough research in the past week n found that laser would kill the grafts in 3-4 sitting. 2) After killing the grafts, would those little dots be visible? I would not like to be in a situation where everyone is looking at me saying what happened to your forehead? 3) could a cosmetic surgery help to remove those pits? Please help.. i emailed Dr madhu and have not received a reply so far.. Please help.. i m dying every moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessie1 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Rahul, Unfortunate story. There is plenty of advice available for situations such as yours. There are plenty of repair patients on here. I need a repair too. I have 50-100 badly angled grafts in my right temple from a previous HT. There are various techniques. I am not endorsing Berstein Medical but if you search their website they give quite a concise summary of graft removal/ repair procedures. I urge you not to rush into this. You need to make sure you are in the right hands. Acting hastily could leave you full of regret. You need to educate yourself. Others have touched on this and I know that you have contacted Dr Madhu but you should consider travelling outside of India (if thats possible) in order to go to the best. Another quick tip: look on YOUTUBE and you will see plenty of repair procedures. I came across a few videos from Dr Bisanga which were very impressive. I have also had a consultation with him which was excellent. Very informative and very professional. Research and educate yourself and try and make contact with patients who have undergone similar procedures and PM them. People will reach out to you.

rahul1983 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi Jessie, Thanks for your reply.. Nice to hear such words... I am in India & do not have much options available... . Each doctor i visit suggests a new transplant in order to make money.. I told them repeatedly that i don't want another transplant even if i go bald... I never thought removing grafts would be such a pain.. I just want to go for removal through laser if that is possible.. I would really appreciate that if anyone could suggest someone specialist in my area for graft removal.. I belong to India (New Delhi, Jaipur) locations would be fine... Looking out for help.....

Senior Member gillenator Posted December 2, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2011 If you knew how many times that I have heard someone tell me that the clinic stated all they need is another transplant. Repair situations are much more complex than that. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
