hair transplant scar

Sarah, thank you for your website. It has been very informative and helpful to me. I recently ordered a 1.5 roller and infadolan, that i plan on using on my face. My question is regarding a scar from hair transplants. I believe its a hypertrophic scar which i understand from your site is ok to roll. I just wanted you to clarify that  for me because other research leaded me to believe that it could make it worse. Thank you.

Dermarolling and needling softens hypertrophic scars but you should first roll just a small part of your scar to test how it heals. The skin on the scalp is thick and the healing is a little unpredictable.  Single needling, a dermastamp or using a one-liner roller that we sell specifically for scars would be easier for the hair transplant scar but you can manage with a regular dermaroller too. To avoid your hair getting entangled, roll from the roots to the hair tips.
