Hair transplant into scars and burns

A hair transplant into scars and burns at Istanbul Hair Clinic in Cairo covers areas of hair loss caused by burns, wounds, surgery or accidents — on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Dr. Mohamed Hazem, Hair and Skin Specialist, moves follicles from the donor area and implants them into the scar using FUE under local anaesthetic, after confirming the scar tissue is suitable. A transplant into scars and burns costs EGP 30,000.

Who is a scar transplant for?

Not every scar can be transplanted into. The doctor examines the scar tissue, its blood supply and the donor area before deciding.

  • Old burn marks on the scalp
  • Scars from wounds or accidents
  • Marks from previous head surgery
  • A scar from an old strip-method hair transplant
  • Scars in the beard or eyebrows

The scar must be old and stable. If the wound or burn is recent, it’s better to wait until it has fully healed.

How is transplanting into scars different?

May need more than one session

For some large scars the doctor may prefer to transplant in two stages to reach the best density.

Steps for transplanting into scars and burns

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and you go home the same day.

Scar examination

Dr. Mohamed Hazem assesses the scar tissue and the donor area.

Planning

Setting the number of grafts and the right density for the scar.

Local anaesthetic

No pain during the procedure.

Extracting and implanting the grafts

Using FUE, implanted into the scar.

Home the same day

With your aftercare kit and care instructions.

After the procedure: recovery and results

Recovery is similar to a normal hair transplant: small scabs that clear within two weeks, temporary shedding of the transplanted hair in the first months, and then new growth. The result shows around month six and the final result at 9 to 12 months. With scars, the doctor reviews the result and may recommend a second session to increase density.
