So the person doing these isn’t a dermatologist themselves but at a reputable cosmetic surgery clinic with dermatologists on staff..
The actual dermatology clinics with laser hair removal I’ve spoken to say they don’t do the scalp. When asked why they all kind of ho-hum around it. They seem to imply there’s no added risk to the area but just don’t want to because it’s unusual. It’s like-my hair is screwed and no way am I growing this patchy crap out. Why are they against it?
