Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aim: is to completely hide the alopecic scars in a way that it will not be visible.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Practicing scar revision, there is an increasing demand for almost complete reconstruction and camouflaging scars in hairy areas rather than scars in non-hairy skin. Scar revision rendered insufficient reconstructive tool in such cases. Whatever a Plastic surgeon pay efforts in alopecic scars rejuvenation and reconstruction, it is still apparent and noticeable. One of the best surgical techniques to camouflage an alopecic scar is hair transplantation. FUE is the state-of-the-art technique for hair transplantation.

In the field of hair restoration, there has been a significant increase in demand with patients for facial hair transplantation procedures. Modern techniques in hair transplantation is based on follicular unit extraction and implantation, in which follicular units are the exclusive structures used as hair grafts allow for facial hair transplantation and for the attainment of natural-appearing results. Facial hair transplantation is a subspecialty within hair restoration with many gratifying benefits for the patients as well as for the hair restoration surgeon. Adapting these advanced techniques into a hair restoration practice allows a surgeon to offer their patients these procedures and provides an expanded artistic element to a hair restoration surgeon's practice. The art and science of hair transplantation have come a long way since its introduction in 1959. Both the technique and instruments have been greatly improved, thus offering the patient an excellent cosmetic result that will last a lifetime.
