You can always find someone to take your money to do something to you cosmetically and underplaying the serious risks.
All procedures no matter how benign they appear from the promotions for them have risks and that can easily include scarring and infections. It's going to be in the fine print of a service and may only say "risks" in a general way. Ask very specific questions.
To put one's health and face at risk for a condition that is not life-threatening is something very few would do and far fewer surgeons would sign on to do. The doctors' first credo? "Do no harm." To be a willing participant in something experimental is surely a most personal decision, particularly for a condition that turns on and off.
And there's maintenance for a nice neat appearance. The hairs come from head hairs and will keep growing. There would have to be experience and skill to ensure that the hairs are implanted at the perfect angle so the hairs (would it lay down flat on the face?) are not going off in different directions. And what are you going to do if you discover rogue ones that won't behave? Surgerize again?
The person to get advice from? The smartest dermatologist you know who does not perform the procedure for a living.

I just can't imagine that "some success" with the attendant risks is a selling point for my community.
