Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photographs. I am sorry to hear about your injury.  When lacerations result in areas of hair growth (scalp, eyebrows, mustache) there is the possibility that the follicle was permanently damaged and hair growth will not return.  There is no distinct way to know without allowing enough time to pass after your laceration is fully healed.  I am attaching a link that will help minimize your scar appearance.

Time will tell. I would suggest twice daily application of Plato's Scar Serum to help soften the scars at this point. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
