Do FUE scars improve after 12 months?

Question

I am planning to have hair transplant, so I have read a lots of Q&As here. Some surgeons say FUE scars can improve even after 1 year, some say they won't. Can the scars actually improve after 12 months? If yes, how much will they improve in terms of size and color?

Thank you for your question and photos.
Yes it dose.
the number of grafts a patient will need depends on the thickness of their hair and the extent of their hair loss, which can be determined by the Norwood Scale below.
During a hair transplant, grafts are usually removed from the ‘donor area’ located on the back of the scalp and relocated to a balding area. The back of the scalp makes a good extraction area due to the high volume of hair follicles that congregate within that region that are not affected by the balding process. Specialist surgeons will remove a small amount of tissue that can grow hair and relocate it to the desired area of the head without damaging them.

The best method or treatment for baldness is Neograft.  This is a system that requires no surgery, no incisions and no scars. Single follicles are taken from the back of the scalp and transferred into the balding areas.  In 6 months, you will have a nice growth of hair.  It is simple, painless and very successful.
