You could either have a small hair transplantation or use scalp micropigmentation could cover the scar area.

SMP (Scalp Micro-Pigmentation) or FUE hair transplant are your best options for repairing scars. AS long as the scarred area has a blood supply, an FUE will work. If not, SMP is a better option.

You report and show in the photo a small scar on the side of the head. The easiest way to hide this is with Scalp Micropigmentation.
