Senior Member Time to do something Posted May 10, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2011 I am considering cosmetic transdermal hair replication (tattooing) to increase the appearance of density after my first two hair transplants yielded very poor results. Has anyone had this procedure who can comment on it? I’d be curious if the procedure can be reversed successfully without damaging the hair follicles and what happens as hair goes gray. Obviously if the procedure provides one color you will have that color for the rest of your life which would look ridiculous on an older guy. How does it blend with existing hair? The only photos I’ve seen are of guys who have totally shaved their head and have the tattooed stubble look. Thanks!

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted May 10, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2011 I haven't had it done, but am eagerly waiting to see how the rest of the industry responds to Dr. Rassman's implementation of this new procedure. I'm sure you have seen a few of his results. I have seen some great results from it and some that weren't so great. Hey, sort of like hair transplants!
