Why doesn't hair grow on burnt skin?
Depending on the extent of the burn, you may or may not have scars on your skin. However, if the burn is deep, tissue damage occurs in the area. It also damages the hair follicles. Thus, hair growth will stop. You need to go to the doctor to find out if the hair loss is temporary or permanent. He will assess the severity of the burn by examining your skin. Permanent hair loss does not always occur from burns.
Once your skin has healed, you can expect normal hair growth. It can take up to three months for your hair to start growing. However, if it is later than that, you should seek professional help immediately.
If the burn is very deep, your hair follicles may be permanently damaged due to damage to your hair follicles. Scar tissue forms over the damaged skin, preventing new hair from growing. In this case, there is not much the patient can do to restore hair growth other than undergoing a hair transplant. Keep in mind that surgery and postoperative care may be different for patients with skin burns.
How to do a hair transplant on burned skin?
Due to loss of hair follicles, hair growth does not occur on burned skin. However, with hair restoration surgery, the surgeon places new roots in the bald and burned areas of the scalp. This will allow hair growth to occur there. Our surgeons have successfully performed hair transplants on burn victims. It is true that patients with skin burns can achieve varying degrees of success depending on their condition. You should develop realistic expectations regarding hair transplant results. Tissue damage does not allow your hair to grow as it does with normal skin. Although the burn is minor, the patient can expect to see quite satisfactory results.
In severe cases, when the texture of the skin changes and becomes very thick, the patient may need more surgery to achieve good hair density on the scalp. These patients require special care. Our surgeons will guide them in this regard.
After the surgeon places the hairs in the follicles on the burned skin, it will take some time for them to start growing. Hair grows successfully if it begins to receive blood flow from nearby blood vessels. It will provide essential nutrients to growing hair.
