A scar from a hair transplant can be permanent, but it varies from many factors. Also, the degree of scar visibility varies. Some scars fade over time with proper care, the right products, and treatment, whereas the majority of others are concealed by hair. The key to “minimal scarring” on the scalp, however, is selecting the top hair transplant clinic. If your surgeon is qualified and skilled, “visible” scarring would not be a concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hair transplantation<\/span><\/span><\/a> by definition is a surgical procedure in which the hairs from the donor site are extracted and transplanted into the recipient site. As it is a surgical process, scars are inevitable. Yet, the amount of scarring is mainly determined by the surgeon\u2019s skills; the technique utilized and the instruments involved. A good surgeon will yield minimal scars that diminish as and when the hair grows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sapphire FUE and DHI are the most recent methods of hair transplantation technology. In this article, we will examine every aspect of <\/span>hair transplant scars<\/span>, including their severity and mitigation techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does A Hair Transplant Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hair transplantation is a cosmetic surgery done on the scalp to cover bald patches. During the procedure, the grafts are extracted from the donor site (mainly the back of the scalp) to the recipient site (the bald region).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two advanced techniques for hair transplantation<\/a>\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The studies suggest that the <\/span>success rate of hair transplant<\/span><\/a> through these techniques is over 90%..<\/span><\/p>\n

    FUE hair transplant scars<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Due to the nature of the FUE hair transplant procedure, it yields some scarring which vanishes once the transplanted hair grows back. During the procedure\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The follicles are extracted from the donor region by making micro-punches. The individual follicles are extracted from those punch incisions.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. The punches are made on the recipient area and the individual hair follicles are grafted.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. After completion of the hair transplant, the scalp is treated with topical ointment and bandaged.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Here, due to the punches made, the procedure leads to wounding. The advantage of the Micro Fue Sapphire hair transplant technique is that the scars are easy to conceal and they diminish shortly after the procedure. This is because the punches made are 0.7 mm to 0.9 mm in diameter, which is very small compared to other hair transplant procedures like the simple FUE.<\/span><\/p>\n
