Is it true that Asian people have worse FUE scars?

Asked By:joe0000 in Los Angeles, CA

I know Asian people have worse strip scar because Asian skin is prone to keloid. But a hair transplant doctor also told me Asian people have worse moth-eaten scar when FUE is used. He said it is impossible to have #2 guard haircut like Caucasian people. Is it true?

Answer: Everyone heals differently. It isn't always related to race or ethnicity. Some Asians do fine with #2 guard some may not.
