If you transplant hairs into a scar, is it true that the scar gets worse before it gets better?(does the scar stretch before the scar actually has hair growing)? If so, does it eventually get better?
Disguising a scalp scar with hair transplants is an ideal procedure that is often done at NHI. There are other factors involved such as:
- the location of the scar
- your hair shaft thickness and the scar thickness
- the contrast of your hair color to your skin color to minimize the appearance of the contrast
- the character of your hair (wavy, curley, straight)
- the length of your hair (very short hair will require more densities than longer length hair)
It is not true that the scar gets worse from a scar transplant and then gets better, nor does it stretch from getting hair placed within it.

i have this bump on my scalp i have it there for years so i got it remove and now i have a scar and hair doesnt grow around the scar tissue area can hair be regrow throw the scar tissue area cause i heard it cant but if it does how does it work
I have a 7 inch scar on the right side of my head that I’m just tired of trying to disguise with sprays. they’re messy and not that easy to apply. I see all these infomericals of all these advanced procedures of hair loss being applied and working. but they never say it could work on scar tissue. I assumed it couldn’t be done until I came across this site. can it be done..? if so how is the procedure? is it the same as the regular hair loss procedure? please advise.
