Corrective Hair Transplant for Scars

Corrective Hair Transplant for Scars: Treatment Choices

Hair placement into scar tissue requires precise technique for graft survival. Main options:

• FUE grafting: harvesting individual follicles and placing them into scar tissue for coverage.
• Scar revision: excising or altering scar direction to improve graft placement.
• Camouflage transplant: adding hair over scars to blend with surrounding hair.
• Scalp micropigmentation (SMP): applying pigment to reduce visibility when density is limited.
• Combination repair: integrating FUE with SMP or regenerative therapies to improve texture and growth.

Choice depends on scar origin such as FUT strip harvest, injury, burns, or scarring alopecia. Scar vascularity and skin health affect results.

Regenerative Support for Scar Transplants

Regenerative treatments can be used before or after corrective procedures to help follicle adaptation in scar tissue. Options include:

• Injectable PRF or i-PRF for healing support.
• Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) therapy to aid survival.
• Exosome therapy or SVF to improve scalp environment.
• ACell with PRP for scar remodeling.
• Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to stimulate grafted areas.

Timing is decided based on assessment and response to prior treatments.

Procedure Planning and Patient Preparation

Steps for planning a corrective hair transplant:

• Consultation with clinical and photographic review, scar analysis, and medical history.
• Design coverage patterns and density goals.
• Perform FUE harvesting and placement, scar revision if needed.
• Post-procedure care with wound management and follow-up visits.
