Scars that exhibit inflammation, hypertrophy, or keloid reaction can be managed with our HIDEF protocols. Surgery is not often necessary as we have a full laser and RF protocol. 
Treatments begin with examination of the scars followed by pretreatment with Melarase creams for pigmentation, Plato's Scar Serum for hypertrophy, followed by laser and RF protocols with PDL, RF, and microfractional RF or laser. Kenalog IIT is also very important.

I want to solve this person that had keloid from a body hair chest extraction From a well-known physician. When I mean keloid I mean There were hundreds of them all close to a half inch in diameter. If you have any history of keloid, then you need to sit with your hair professional and have a chest of both sites in an extraction in a inconspicuous place. Then reevaluate for a larger session if all goes well good luck.

I've never seen keloids on recipient sites (on the scalp). I have seen hypertrophic scars.  Without getting into specifics on definitions, you may be at risk for scarring.  This is where meeting with a doctor and an examination helps.

John E. Frank, MD · Answer

I would suggest that you ask your doctor to perform one or two small FUE grafts as a test procedure and then you will know if you can proceed more aggressively..

Scar hypertrophy on the chest area is far more common than on the scalp. Consult with a neograft hair transplant specialist to see if you are a good candidate.
