Hair Restoration

FUE can be a useful tool to correct scars. FUE can be applied to correct scars not only on the scalp, but most parts of the body. 

It is understood that when hair grafts are transplanted into scar tissue, the grafts attract new blood supply which eventually leads to the reduction in scar tissue. We see an increasing number of patients who had previous FUT surgeries come to us to get scar correction using FUE. This can also apply to people who have had face lifts, forehead reduction surgeries and any traumatic scars around the beard and eyebrows. 

The downside is that due to the fact it is dead skin, the graft yield isn’t as good as on healthy skin. The yield on scar tissue can be around 50-60% whereas on healthy skin, it can be 90-95%.
