Hair transplantation in place of a scar
Scar hair transplantation is a surgical procedure to restore hair to areas of damaged skin. The most common technique used is FUE, which involves taking individual hair follicles from a donor area (e.g. the back of the head) and precisely implanting them into the scar. Prior to transplantation, the recipient site is prepared by making micro-incisions aligned with the direction of hair growth.
The scars have a specific structure, which requires the surgeon’s experience and precision. After the procedure, slight redness or swelling is possible, which quickly disappears. The final result is visible after a few months, when the hair begins to grow naturally. The effectiveness depends on the type of scar and the condition of the skin.
Scar-replacement hair transplantation is a specialised procedure that allows hair to be restored to areas of the skin where scarring has occurred as a result of trauma, surgery or other factors. The technique used is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which involves taking individual follicular units from the donor area and then precisely implanting them into the scarred skin. Thanks to modern tools and technology, it is possible to achieve a natural result even on more difficult surfaces, such as scar tissue..
Preparation for a hair transplant in place of a scar includes a consultation with a doctor who assesses the condition of the scar and the availability of healthy hair follicles. Smoking, alcohol and blood-thinning medication should be avoided before the procedure. The skin of the scar, due to its poorer blood supply, may require the use of preparations to improve microcirculation. On the day of the procedure, the donor and recipient areas are carefully cleaned and prepared to ensure the sterility and effectiveness of the procedure.
Recovery from FUE hair transplantation is short and comfortable due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Small scabs at the donor and implantation site heal within 7-10 days. Patients can return to daily activities after a few days, avoiding intense exercise, saunas and the sun for several weeks. The transplanted hair may fall out in the first few weeks, which is normal, and permanent hair will then grow back.
Can hair transplantation be done over a scar?
Yes, hair transplantation can effectively be performed over scars, including those from previous surgeries or injuries. The transplanted hair can help conceal the scar and create a more natural appearance.
How long does it take to recover after a hair transplant in a scar area?
Recovery typically takes 7-10 days for the initial healing, with the transplanted hair beginning to grow in around 3-4 months. Full results can take 9-12 months to become visible, depending on the individual.
Will the transplanted hair grow normally over the scar?
Yes, once the hair follicles are successfully transplanted, they will grow like natural hair, although the density and growth pattern may depend on the size and nature of the scar tissue. Proper aftercare is crucial for successful results.
