Accident Scar Hair Transplant

Hair Transplant for Scarred Areas

Scar tissue needs specific surgical methods. Follicles are implanted only after the scar has stabilized, usually 10-12 months post-injury. Techniques include:

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) for smaller or irregular scars.
• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) for larger donor requirements.
• Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) with precision tools.
• Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) to camouflage scars when density is limited.

Selection depends on scar location, skin condition, and donor hair availability. SMP may be preferred when subtle blending is the goal.

Regenerative Support for Scar Transplant

Scar tissue often has reduced blood supply, affecting graft survival. Regenerative trichology can be applied before or after surgery to improve vascularity and healing:

• Injectable PRF (i-PRF) to aid tissue repair.
• Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) for follicle health.
• Exosome Therapy for cellular regeneration.
• Autologous Cellular Micrografts using patient’s own cells.

These adjuncts are chosen based on clinical assessment and patient goals.

Aftercare and Recovery

Aftercare is adjusted to the scar’s characteristics. Patients receive guidance on gentle cleansing, avoiding friction, and attending follow-ups. New growth often appears in 3-4 months, with density changes over a year. Photographic comparisons are shared only with consent. Medication such as topical minoxidil or oral finasteride is used when prescribed. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) may support grafts.
