Hair transplant failed? Recover treatment without surgery

Non-surgical solution after a failed hair transplant.

A failed hair transplant can often no longer be solved by a follow-up hair transplant. The only option for many who have had a failed hair transplant is to shave the hair short and have micro hair pigmentation performed.

Hair pigmentation, also known as Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP), can help to restore the result of a failed hair transplant by creating an optical illusion of hair stubble.

5 Most Common Causes Of A Failed Hair Transplant:

  1. Bad or non-grown transplanted hair due to incorrect manipulation by the doctor or assistants.
  2. Too much scar tissue formed due to incompetence of the doctor
  3. The grafts - hair implants are not placed properly (too deep, too shallow, bad manipulation, wrong instruments)
  4. Hair density is not the same everywhere (usually due to the inexperience of the doctor)
  5. Incorrect or insufficient aftercare by the patient

It is important to choose an experienced hair clinic and doctor to reduce the risk of a failed hair transplant.

If a hair transplant fails, hair pigmentation can be a useful solution to restore the result.

FUE scars in the donor area

Hair pigmentation, also known as Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP), can be used to soften the round (usually white) scars of an FUE hair transplant and make it almost invisible. This technique is suitable for round and fine scars (maximum 1-3 mm).

Restore thinned donor area after hair transplant

Hair pigmentation works by applying 'hair' pigments in the donor area after an FUE hair transplant. This absorbs the reflection of the reflected light and creates an optical illusion of hair stubble. This softens the general thinning of the donor area so that the hair density in this area is restored. We see an optical improvement of 50-80% with most customers.

It is important to choose an experienced hair pigmentation specialist to achieve the best results. An experienced specialist knows exactly how to perform the treatment to make the round, usually white scars in the donor area of an FUE hair transplant optically virtually invisible.

In some cases, wider scars may require surgical correction. It is therefore important to book a consultation with an experienced hair pigmentation specialist to determine whether hair pigmentation is suitable for softening the scars of an FUE hair transplant.

Most common problems after a transplant by an inexperienced doctor / team

  • Little or no hair growth after a hair transplant.
  • Unnatural-looking result and therefore immediately recognizable as hair implantation.
  • Aesthetically poorly placed hairline (hairline too low, strongly asymmetrical hairline, hairline choice not in accordance with age).
  • Poor overall graft distribution with dense and less dense areas.
  • Wrong her direction.
Sometimes the damage after a hair transplant can only be solved afterwards by hair pigmentation short haircut style.

When recovering from a failed hair transplant, all hairs are shaved off and a natural-looking shaved look, short haircut, is created, so that the failed and unnatural-looking transplants are no longer noticeable.

Hair pigmentation as a recovery option in the event of a failed hair transplant works by applying special pigments to the scalp. As a result, both the possibly visible scars and the unnatural-looking hair situation can be camouflaged almost 100% optically.

Restore FUT hair transplant scars - experienced hair clinic

Hair pigmentation can also be used to camouflage scars from a FUT hair transplant. By applying pigments in and around the FUT scar, color differences in the skin are removed and the scar becomes less visible. Attention: it is not possible to make a FUT scar 100% invisible. Not all scars can be treated. Extremely wide (+5 mm), raised scars or deep scars must first be corrected surgically.

It is important to choose an experienced hair pigmentation specialist to achieve the best FUT scar correction results. An experienced specialist knows exactly how to perform the treatment to make the linear scar less visible.
