I'm sorry to hear about your accident. The regrowth of your moustache hair depends on several factors, including the extent of the injury and whether the hair follicles were damaged. If the hair follicles were not permanently damaged, the hair should regrow over time. 
Here are a few suggestions:

Gentle Care: Keep the area clean and avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive actions that might irritate the skin.

Topical Treatments: Consider using a mild, over-the-counter topical treatment like minoxidil (Rogaine) to encourage hair growth. However, consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

Nutrition: Ensure you are eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair growth, such as biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Patience: Hair regrowth can take time. Facial hair typically grows at a rate of about 0.3-0.5 mm per day, so it might take several weeks or even months to notice significant regrowth.

Consult a Specialist: If you don't see any improvement after a few months or if you have concerns about scarring or permanent hair loss, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist or a hair restoration specialist.

Remember, it's important to be patient and gentle with the affected area. If you have any persistent concerns, seeking professional medical advice is always a good idea.
