Professional Hair Transplant Scar Coverage

Make your scars virtually undetectable — wear your hair as short as you like

If you have visible scarring from hair transplant procedures, surgery, or injuries that prevent you wearing your hair short, our specialised scar camouflage SMP can make those scars virtually disappear. We've perfected techniques for concealing all types of scalp scarring — from the tiny circular dots left by FUE extractions to long linear FUT strip scars across the back of the head.

The treatment works by replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles within and around the scar tissue, breaking up the contrast that makes scars visible and blending them seamlessly into the surrounding scalp. In most cases the result is complete concealment — indistinguishable from the surrounding hair-bearing skin.

99% of our scar camouflage clients are hair transplant patients. We've never encountered a transplant scar we couldn't significantly improve.

What Makes a Scar Suitable

  • Minimum 6 months healed — scar tissue must be stable and fully mature
  • White appearance — pink or red scars are not yet ready for treatment
  • Flat or slightly raised — not excessively elevated or keloid
  • Stable condition — no ongoing changes or active medical issues

What Your Consultation Covers

  • Treatability — honest assessment of whether SMP will work effectively
  • Expected results — realistic outcome expectations for your specific scar
  • Treatment plan — number of sessions required and the approach
  • Cost estimate — transparent pricing based on scar characteristics

All hair transplant scars are suitable for treatment. We have never encountered a transplant scar — FUE or FUT — that couldn't be significantly improved.

Types of Scars We Treat

Hair transplant scars make up 99% of our scar camouflage work — but we treat all types

Most Common — 99% of Cases

Hair Transplant Scars

All hair transplant scarring is suitable for SMP camouflage — we've never encountered a transplant scar that couldn't be significantly improved.

  • FUE scars — hundreds of tiny circular white dots across the donor area. Perfect candidates for SMP camouflage. Most common presentation we see.
  • FUT / strip scars — long horizontal scar across the back of the head from strip harvesting. Often raised or indented. Excellent results with our specialised technique.

Other Scalp Scars

Providing they are fully healed, white in colour, and stable, we can treat a wide range of scalp scarring.

  • Surgery scars — facelift, brain surgery, medical procedures
  • Injury scars — accidents, cuts, trauma
  • Burn scars — if properly healed and stable
  • Birthmarks in hair-bearing areas
Cannot Treat

Unsuitable Conditions

Some conditions are not suitable for SMP — we'll always be upfront about this during your consultation.

  • Keloid scars — raised, overgrown scar tissue that continues to grow
  • Vitiligo patches — autoimmune condition requiring a different approach

  • Pink or red scars — must be white and fully mature before we can proceed
