That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I'm really worried about my brother's hair loss problem. He's tried so many medicines but hasn't seen any results yet. He recently stumbled across this product called Reffolium online, and we're wondering if it's actually effective for hair loss or just another scam. Also, we're considering options like hair transplant or weaving. I'm curious if hair transplants are safe or if there are any side effects he should be aware of. If he goes down this path, do you have any recommendations for a specialist he should consult?
