Even with modern hair transplant techniques, hair transplant scars are inevitable. There are always pros and cons to most surgeries, from improving your appearance and regaining your confidence to potential scarring and long recovery times.
 
Although an FUE hair transplant is a very effective solution to a variety of conditions such as male pattern baldness or hair loss, it leaves a small amount of unnoticeable scarring once the transplanted hair grows back.

Due to the nature of the FUE hair transplant procedure, the expected recovery time is often much shorter than other hair surgery methods, around 10-14 days.
 
During the procedure, individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area on the back and sides of the head.As a result, small scars less than a millimeter in diameter appear in the donor area where each hair follicle was harvested.

They should be faded out when the hair has reached 1 or 2 degrees in length.
 
It is important to understand that a well-performed FUE hair transplant leaves no visible scars.

This depends on the skills and experience of the hair transplant surgeon. At The Treatment Rooms London we pride ourselves on the fact that our patients have no visible scars after surgery.This is one of the reasons we are considered one of the top choices for hair transplants in the UK.

Why does FUE hair transplant leave scars?

The hair transplant operation FUE
(Follicular Unit Excision) consists in removing each hair follicle separately and re-implanting them in the balding areas. In order to remove the hair follicle, our surgeons have to incise each hair with a small punch (0.7mm to 0.0mm).9mm). This area of ​​the scalp then heals in 2-3 weeks leaving small 0.7mm to 0.9mm scars where the hair follicles were removed.
