Hair loss due to scarring, also known as scarring alopecia, can occur after injury, surgery, burns, or certain medical conditions that damage the scalp’s hair-bearing skin. Unlike typical pattern baldness, these areas may lose hair permanently due to the destruction of hair follicles and underlying structures.
Common causes include:
Trauma or surgery (e.g. car accidents, surgical scars)
Burns (thermal, chemical, or radiation-induced)
Autoimmune diseases (e.g. lichen planopilaris, lupus, folliculitis decalvans)
Infections (e.g. tinea capitis, bacterial abscesses)
Careful evaluation by an experienced doctor is crucial to determine the best treatment options which include:
1. Scalp Micropigmentation
2. FUE-Grafting into scar
2. Excision and Re-Closure
The advance of Scalp Micropigmentation has made it the preferred choice in most cases. Also it changes our preference for hair transplant technique, when FUT making a return.
The downside of FUT, the linear scar at the back of the head, can now be easily fixed by SMP, leaving the patients with the option of wearing skin head even after a FUT procedure.
Age is not a limiting factor — you are never too old for a hair transplant as long as you have a sufficient supply of healthy donor hair.
In fact, older patients often make excellent candidates because:
Whether you’re in your 50s, 60s, or beyond, what matters most is your overall health, donor hair availability, and your goals. Dr. Ng will assess all of these during your consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Good hair habits aren’t complicated. Clean gently. Nourish from within. Avoid extremes. And treat your scalp like the living skin it is.
From consultation, surgery, to aftercare, you will receive continued personal care by our doctors, not just consultants.
