What is Burn/Scar Area Hair Transplant?
Burn area hair transplant is a specialized transplantation procedure that enables hair regrowth in areas of scar tissue caused by burns, accidents, surgical procedures, or trauma through hair follicle transplantation. Since scar tissue has a different structure than normal skin, these types of operations require specialized expertise and experience.
At Million Hair Clinic in Istanbul, we apply a personalized treatment plan based on the structure of the scar tissue in our burn and wound area hair transplant operations. Before the operation, the thickness, blood circulation, and elasticity of the scar tissue are evaluated to determine the most suitable technique.
Our surgeons, who specialize in burn area hair transplantation at our clinic, apply FUE and DHI techniques adapted to scar tissue. In some cases, pre-operative PRP or mesotherapy sessions may be recommended to prepare the scar tissue. This preliminary treatment improves the blood circulation of the tissue, thereby increasing the graft survival rate.
How is Burn Scar Hair Transplant Performed?
Burn scar area hair transplant process special for scar tissue.
Scar Tissue Evaluation
The structure, thickness, blood circulation, and elasticity of the burn or scar area are examined in detail. Graft survival potential is determined.
Tissue Preparation (If Needed)
If the scar tissue is too thick or blood circulation is poor, tissue is prepared with PRP or mesotherapy before the operation. This increases graft survival.
Transplant with Special Technique
Channels are opened shallower in scar tissue and grafts are placed at a special angle. FUE or DHI technique is applied according to the scar structure.
Takip ve Ek Seanslar
Graft survival rate in scar tissue may be lower than normal skin. If necessary, a completion session is planned after 6-12 months.
Characteristics of Scar Tissue
Scar tissue contains fewer blood vessels than normal skin and has a tougher structure. Therefore, burn area hair transplantation requires a different approach than standard operations. The graft survival rate can range from 50–80% depending on the condition of the scar tissue. At Million Hair Clinic, we maximize this rate to the highest possible level with preliminary preparation treatments.
Burn Scar Hair Transplant Advantages
1. Aesthetic Restoration
Hair growth is achieved in the burn or scar area, concealing the scar. This both improves the aesthetic appearance and boosts the patient's self-confidence. It is an especially effective solution for visible scars on the head.
2. PRP-Supported Pre-Treatment
Pre-operative PRP treatment is applied to improve the blood circulation and nutritional capacity of the scar tissue. This preparation significantly increases the graft survival rate and enables a denser result.
3. Personalized Treatment Plan
Every scar tissue has a different structure. Burn scars, surgical scars, and trauma scars carry different characteristics. Our surgeons determine the most suitable technique and graft count based on the scar type, thickness, and location.
4. Touch-Up Session Option
The targeted density may not be achieved in scar tissue during the first session. In this case, a touch-up session is performed 6–12 months later to approach the desired result. With each session, the area improves further and graft retention capacity increases.
