Hair Transplant on Scar Tissue

Treatment Options

Scar tissue has reduced blood supply and altered skin, so each plan follows a clinical evaluation. Options include:

• FUE grafting into scar tissue with precise follicular unit extraction and implantation.
• Regenerative support like Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC) to aid healing.
• Exosome therapy or autologous cellular micrografts for tissue regeneration.
• Scar revision or scalp micropigmentation when grafting is limited.

Choice depends on scar age, size, location, and patient goals. Some cases combine transplantation with regenerative trichology to improve graft survival.

Procedure and Recovery

Donor hair may be taken from the back of the scalp, beard, or body. Implantation into scar tissue uses micro-incisions and controlled spacing to optimise blood flow. Recovery may involve mild swelling or redness for a few days, with follow-up visits to monitor healing and hair growth.

Patients should avoid sun exposure on the treated area and follow prescribed hair medication routines. Early growth can appear within months, with hair maturing over a year.

Suitability

Hair transplant on scar tissue can be considered for:

• Scarring alopecia after burns or accidents.
• FUT strip scars from prior surgery.
• Patchy hair loss from dermatological conditions.
• Cosmetic improvement of visible scalp scars.

Feasibility is assessed individually. Some scars respond better to combined regenerative and surgical care than grafting alone.
