Hair transplants in a scar

“A young man came to us because of a fairly large scar on his head. This area was a remnant of a treatment he had undergone for skin cancer. With this person, that place was clearly visible to others and he was therefore very insecure. When we saw him again after a year, it was clear that he had become much more confident. That is incredibly beautiful to experience. ”

Normal skin is soft, pink and contains all the structures that the skin normally needs.

Scar tissue is often stiffer, whiter and structures have disappeared, including hair follicles. When one has a scar on a hairy head, it is often a place where no hair follicle can be found anymore. Because of this, such a place often stands out. This also has to do with the color of the skin that is usually whiter than elsewhere.

It may also be that scar tissue is very thin, in which case there are often blood vessels visible just below the skin. This area is extra vulnerable to damage.
