What Scar Hair Transplant is

Grafting healthy follicles into scalp scars — surgical, traumatic, or a previous strip line.

Grafting healthy follicles into scalp scars — surgical, traumatic, or a previous strip line.

Scar tissue has less blood supply than healthy scalp, so grafts placed in it take at a lower rate and have to be placed at a lower density than they would be elsewhere. The commonest case is the linear scar left by an older strip operation, but surgical and traumatic scars are treated the same way. Where the tissue is poor, the work is staged deliberately rather than forced into one session.

• The scar is assessed before a graft count is givenThickness, mobility and vascularity of the scar decide the density that is realistic. Promising native density into scar tissue would be dishonest.
• Lower density, more than one passPlacing fewer grafts and returning is what protects take rate in compromised tissue.
• Micropigmentation over a strip lineFor a fine linear scar, micropigmentation alone often does more than grafting — and the two combine well.
