Cobblestoning after a FUE hair transplant can be frustrating, and it usually occurs due to scar tissue formation at the graft sites. The good news is that there are options to help minimize the appearance of these bumps, depending on the severity. Here are some potential treatments:Microneedling: This can help break down scar tissue and encourage the skin to heal more smoothly. It promotes collagen production, which can improve skin texture over time.Laser therapy: Fractional lasers or CO2 lasers can target the cobblestoning by resurfacing the skin and reducing the prominence of the bumps. These treatments help stimulate new collagen and improve the skin’s appearance.Steroid injections: If the bumps are raised due to inflammation or hypertrophic scarring, corticosteroid injections may help flatten them by reducing inflammation in the scar tissue.PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy: PRP can improve the overall health of the scalp, promote healing, and, in some cases, minimize scar tissue, making cobblestoning less noticeable.Surgical revision: In severe cases, a minor surgical procedure to revise the scar tissue may be necessary. This would involve excising the raised areas and allowing them to heal more smoothly.Time and proper care: Sometimes, with proper care, these bumps can gradually become less noticeable over time. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and keeping the scalp moisturized can help.
