Fixing Plugs with Electrolysis

On your site, you write that removing grafts via electrolysis does only work on bigger grafts – what does this mean? How big are bigger grafts? I think my grafts have maximum 5 very thin hairs in it, many have 3 hairs or less. Would it be possible for you to treat 5-hair- grafts via electrolysis?

I do not have the point of reference, but what I may have been referring to is that electrolysis of the hair has a 50% failure rate per hair. So when a larger graft is treated with electrolysis, the hairs are still present after one or two treatments. For large grafts, when the hair count in the graft is reduced, any skin cobblestonning (characteristic of the older grafts) may become more obvious. The modern approach could be to excise the entire frontal hairline since grafts in that location are most noticeable and bothersome. With fine hair and grafts that only have 4-5 hairs each (rather than the large plugs which may contain over 10 hairs), maybe less can be removed or treated with electrolysis. You can remove the hairs within the grafts with the FUE technique as well, with more certainty than electrolysis. I would need to see pictures to determine what is best.
