Scar Transplant
Benefits of Scar Transplantation
Scar transplant process
Initial consultation
It starts with an initial consultation with a doctor who specializes in scar transplantation.
During this consultation, the patient’s concerns are discussed, the scar is assessed and the feasibility of the procedure is determined. The patient’s expectations are adjusted on a case-by-case basis.
Scar assessment
The doctor assesses the nature of the scar, its location and extent, to create a personalized transplant plan.
Often, more invasive diagnostic methods may be needed to study the viability of the transplant. Ultrasound is an emerging non-invasive diagnostic method that also helps to study the area.
Follicle Extraction
The hair follicles are carefully extracted from an integrated area, preserving their integrity and quality.
Graft preparation
The extracted follicles are prepared for implantation, ensuring that they are ready to grow in the scar area.
Implementation
Hair follicles are implanted in the scar area, following a natural pattern to create a smoother, less noticeable appearance.
Healing and recovery
After the procedure, the scar enters a healing process, with medical follow-up essential to ensure proper recovery and maximize results.
Personalized and close monitoring is essential in this type of transplant.
