Hair transplant scars

After hair transplant surgery, we focus on taking care of the scar tissue as well as the hair density. We try our best to leave as little scar tissue as possible.

1. Clean scalp without scars

If you are interested in a hair transplant, you have definitely come across numerous news articles about patients with scary looking scars after their transplants. Unfortunately, there is no surgery method that completely removes traces of scars after extracting hair follicles.

Hair transplants performed by inexperienced medical professionals may result in unwanted scars, which must be treated immediately with a follow-up surgery.

Therefore, we have been researching to find the best ways to reduce the amount of scar tissue on our patients. We then concluded that minimizing scar tissue really depends upon the scalp type of each patient. It is essential for every medical institution to perform surgery safely based on each patient’s scalp type, every patient can maintain a clean scalp with almost zero scars.

2. Incisional hair transplantation

After extracting hair follicles in several band-like shapes, we suture the wounds as quickly as possible. The traditional suturing method includes medical staplers.

The advantage of this method is its time-effectiveness. The biggest disadvantage to this method is that it is difficult to control the strength and spacing of the sutures.

Therefore, we recommend the double suture method.

This method uses medical sutures instead of medical staplers, allowing sutures to be present both on the inside and outside of the patient’s scalp. In addition, this method allows us to adjust the strength and spacing of the sutures, minimizing scar tissue.

3. Non-incision hair transplantation

Non-incision hair transplants are free of incisions and sutures. It is a method of collecting hair follicles one by one using a hole punch.

The area where hair follicles are harvested is filled with new flesh, which later turns into a white dot.  It’s a non-incisional hair transplant; however, it is a method of making a small incision around every hair follicle one by one.

This non-incisional hair transplantation requires medical expertise to correctly measure the spaces between hair follicles to be harvested. If the extracted area is concentrated in one area or connected in a long noticeable line, it may look like a scar.

If the hair extraction is done correctly in moderation, you can expect amazing results. The surgeon’s expertise is critical for this type of surgery.

4. Our promises before conducting hair transplants

After the hair transplant surgery, the size of scar tissue may change depending on the patient’s ability to take care of the sutured area. Getting the most natural results also depends on how well the medical staff can perform surgery based on the patient’s scalp type.

There are a few things to note before getting hair transplantation.

• If you are on certain medication or using products for your scalp or hair, you need to consult with the medical staff thoroughly before receiving hair transplantation.
• After the hair transplant surgery, you must keep our medical staff updated for them to inform you on the exact date from which you can start taking your medications again.
