Scalp Care for Scarring Alopecia

Treatment Planning for Scarring Alopecia

Diagnosis is essential to confirm cause and stage. Treatment may combine medical therapy to reduce inflammation with surgical or regenerative methods where follicles are permanently damaged.

• Topical corticosteroids under supervision to control active inflammation.
• Oral immunosuppressive medication in select cases, monitored for safety.
• Regenerative scalp therapies like PRP Hair Restoration Therapy or Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC) to improve scalp health.
• Surgical hair transplantation in stable cases using advanced FUE techniques.
• Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or microneedling where suitable.

Hair Restoration and Regenerative Options

When inflammation is stable, hair restoration can be considered. FUE-based transplantation may repopulate scarred areas, though results vary. Regenerative options such as i-PRF, exosome therapy, SVF, autologous cellular micrografts, and ACell+PRP are chosen based on scalp condition and healing potential.

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can improve visual density. Dermapen microneedling may stimulate nearby follicles. Plans are made with realistic outcome goals and patient privacy, supported by documented transformations where consent is given.

Scalp Care Practices and Maintenance

Ongoing care helps maintain results and prevent flare-ups. Gentle cleansing, avoiding harsh chemicals, and regular follow-ups are important. Treating related issues like seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff can reduce irritation.

• Use prescribed medicated shampoos as directed.
• Protect scalp from UV exposure with hats or SPF sprays.
• Report new symptoms promptly to prevent inflammation recurrence.
• Follow nutrition and lifestyle guidance from consultation.
