i use to have a problem with plucking hair from my face, but have managed to stop. However this has left small gaps on my face, which is annoying.

does this mean the hair follicle has been damaged and no growth will occur. or are they products/techniques available to stimulate growth?

also some hair grow at a slower than the rest...how can one improve the growth rate of these.

lastly does anyone have any views on hair implants?

" Hi Aaron

I don't know of any products or techniques sorry.

As for the growth cycle. How long has it been since you stopped pulling? If you go up to the Recommendations Area you will find a post on Hair Regrowth that better explains this.

I've heard of brow implants but I think they take head hair and you have to always trim them since that hair "remembers" it's growth cycle and grows longer than a reg. brow and has a diff texture. I would think the same for a transfer to any other place on your face. But it wouldn't hurt to contact a place that does them and ask plus get an idea about price. "
