Is There a Scar-Free Hair Transplant?
I am a hindu. I have to shave my head at various religious cerimonies. is there a way where I can get a scar free hair implantation? Having a scar is out of question
Anyone who has a cut or break on the skin develops a scar. The proper question is, “Can the scar be seen in a routine social situation?” There is a surgery (developed and published by me in 2001) called Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE for short — otherwise known as the FOX™ Procedure. With this procedure, individual follicular units of one, two or three hairs are removed with a 1mm punch. That leaves a scar measuring 1mm and a series of these are produced proportional to the number of such grafts that are removed. These scars close by ‘secondary intention’ which means that the skin from the sides of the wound, grow to the center as the center fills from below. The resultant scar can be seen in close-up detail on the FOX Megasession page at newhair.com. Near the bottom of that page, there are photos of scars shown at different levels of magnification and with the hair clipped and shaved.
For further information on FUE / FOX Procedure, please see our FOX Procedure page.
Dear Doctor,
I am a transgendered female Post op, and recently I had Facial feminisation op, which included bringing my scalp hairline down. Two weeks after the scalp relocating I ahve lost hair and thinning has appeared in one area of my scalp ( left top) what is your opinion, what can I use to stop it? Do you think this is temporary?
many thanks
Alexia
