Restoring Natural Hair Growth Over FUT Linear Scars
FUT Strip Scar Restoration is a specialized hair transplant procedure designed to improve the appearance of visible linear scars left from previous FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) surgeries. Using advanced FUE techniques, healthy hair follicles are transplanted directly into the scar tissue to restore natural hair coverage.
This procedure helps reduce the visibility of FUT strip scars and allows patients to wear shorter hairstyles with greater confidence. By carefully implanting grafts into the scar area, natural hair growth can be restored, blending seamlessly with surrounding hair.
How FUT Strip Scar Restoration Works
The treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of the scar area, donor hair availability, and scalp condition. Because scar tissue has a different blood supply compared to normal skin, careful planning is essential.
Hair follicles are extracted using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique and implanted directly into the scar tissue with precise angle and spacing. The goal is to create natural density that helps camouflage the scar effectively.
The procedure typically takes 3–5 hours, depending on the size of the scar and the number of grafts required.
