Hair Transplant Treatment for Alopecia Scars

Assessing Suitability for Hair Transplant

Scarring alopecia occurs from permanent follicle loss due to burns, surgery, injury, or inflammatory scalp diseases. Hair transplantation is considered only when inflammation has been absent for 1-2 years. Scar tissue may have reduced blood supply and altered texture, so careful clinical review is needed before surgery.

• Stable scarring alopecia confirmed after medical review.
• No active inflammation to ensure graft survival.
• Scar assessment for vascularity and skin condition.
• Hairline design blended with surrounding hair.

Diagnosis can involve dermatoscopy and scalp biopsy. Patients may book in-clinic or video consultations, usually available within a week.

Surgical Methods and Supportive Therapies

For scarred scalp transplant, methods include standard FUE, Sapphire FUE, and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). Adjusted graft angles and density help match existing hair patterns. Supportive treatments can improve graft success and scar health:

• Platelet-based therapies (PRP, i-PRF, GFC) for healing.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to promote circulation.
• Exosome Therapy for cellular repair.
• ACell with PRP for scar remodeling and growth factor delivery.

Therapy selection depends on the patient's clinical profile. Combining surgical and regenerative care can help transplanted hair integrate naturally.

Consultation, Privacy, and Recovery

Consultations clarify goals and highlight possible challenges. At Alloroots, patient information and images are used only with consent. In-person and online appointments support access across India. For previous unsuccessful procedures, Hair Transplant Repair & Correction can address density or design issues.

Recovery involves protecting the grafted area for several weeks. Follow-ups check for scar reactivation and hair growth progress. Bringing past medical reports and photographs to the first visit helps planning.
