Scar Concealment During FUE Hair Transplant Surgery
One of the primary advantages of FUE hair transplant surgery over FUT (strip) hair transplant surgery is that the scars are more easily concealed after the procedure. In addition, since the scars generated during FUE hair transplants are tiny (0.7mm-0.9mm), they are easily concealed by the surrounding hair. One of the most important considerations your surgeon will need to keep in mind is not to remove too many hairs from the back of your head during the procedure. Leaving a lot of hair at the back of your head will enable any residual hairs to grow and conceal any scars that may have formed in the process.
It is possible that these scars may become obvious if you decide to trim your hair to a grade 0 or 1, since the surrounding hairs will not be long enough to conceal them. It is critical that you discuss this with your physician prior to undertaking any kind of surgery. After having FUE hair transplant surgery, you must be informed that you will need to maintain your hair longer than a grade 1 at the back of your head for a period of time.
Is it Possible to Treat These Scars?
Having a minor dot scar may be concealed by cutting your hair to a grade 0 or 1 and then having a hair transplant done on the top of your head. Since your hair will grow back, the scars will look like hair follicles and appear almost invisible to the eye. Allowing the scars to properly heal and naturally let the growing cycle of your hair take place will be crucial in ensuring the success of your hair transplant.
If you find yourself concerned about scars closer to the year mark once your hair transplant has had the chance to heal, contacting your hair transplant surgeon to discuss your options is the best decision to properly treat the look of your scars.
How Long Should I Wait for Signs of Hair Regrowth?
This is dependent on the post- and pre-operative treatment. Some recommendations will be made by your doctor, and it is critical that you follow them to promote the best outcome from your hair transplant procedure.
If you follow all of the instructions after the surgery and take all of your medicines on schedule, the healing period will be rather quick. On average, patients see a difference in three to four months after starting the treatment. However, if you do not adhere to the prescribed procedures, it might take up to 12 months before you see the desired outcomes. That being said, it is normal to expect results after the 6 month mark following your treatment.
Is It Painful To Get A Fue Hair Transplant?
A FUE hair transplant, like a FUT hair transplant, is essentially painless when performed correctly. It is possible to complete the procedure with just a local anesthetic. In order to minimize the stinging sensation associated with local anesthetic injections, we use a variety of approaches. Once these steps are completed, the transplant surgery should be quite painless. Painkillers might be used to alleviate any discomfort that may occur in the days after the treatment.
At Nova Medical Hair Transplant Toronto, we make every effort to make your treatment day seem more like a visit to a health spa rather than a visit to a clinic. You may read, view movies, or play games on your iPad while the procedure is going on. In fact, several patients have said that their treatment day was the most calm and relaxing medical treatment they’ve received.
Are you Considering Having a Hair Transplant Performed?
FUE transplantation of beard or facial hair will leave just a series of small dot scars in the donor regions. These may be nearly undetectable, and our patients have consistently expressed surprise at how rapidly the dots heal.
Like any other surgical treatment, scars may be inevitable while having a surgery or cosmetic treatment, but unlike the other hair transplant treatments available on the market, the FUE hair transplant procedure is known to produce a minimal scar that can be camouflaged with existing hair- making this type of treatment popular with men and women.
