Ridging at the hairline is often the result of scarring or overaggressive graft placement during a hair transplant, where too much tissue or dense grafts create an uneven texture. Fortunately, there are several options to improve the appearance of ridging without worsening it:
Laser Resurfacing: Fractional CO2 or erbium lasers can help smooth out the ridging by reducing the scar tissue and improving the skin’s texture. Laser treatments can improve the appearance without affecting the grafted hair.
Microneedling with PRP: This treatment can stimulate collagen production and help reduce the appearance of ridging. The combination of microneedling and PRP can encourage better healing and smoother skin while supporting hair growth.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): SMP can create the appearance of more even coverage by blending the ridge with surrounding skin. It won’t physically change the texture but can make it less noticeable by camouflaging the uneven area.
Surgical Revision: In some cases, minor surgical revision may help correct the ridging. This could involve removing the excess tissue causing the ridge or redistributing grafts to create a smoother hairline.
