As planned with a hair specialist, i have 800 fu available on my underbeard/neck area. The goal is to use them to fill up patchy beard. Doctor said there is a risk of small hypopigmented scars but as im really white light skin is it less noticeable ? Also why hypopigmented scar instead of hyperpigmented scar ? Thanks for your help

Answer: Pin Point scarring I would Google the FUE pictures online. We typically take the hair in the back of the head because that hair is genetically programmed to grow for life. Meaning you won't loose it. The Folicular Unit Extraction does leave you with pin point scarring. Meaning that if you shave your head you could tend to see the pin point scarring. I'm not sure what blade size your DR. is planning on using. I would certainly ask that question though. We use a very very small blade at 0.7 so its nearly undetectable. You would probably need a magnifier to tell. I would recommend staying away from taking body hair from anywhere else on the body because it typically does not look natural and is not the same density.

Answer: Hypopigmented Scars after FUE The reason scars are hypopigmented after FUE is that there are no melanocytes in scar tissue. Melanocytes produce skin pigment. The scar left is lighter than surrounding tissue and may not be very noticeable in light skinned individuals. Rarely however, hypo-pigmentation can occur around FUE donor sites. That is a real problem but not common.
