FUT scar visibility after 1 year - any tips for camouflage?

ResearcherMike

Hey everyone, I had a FUT hair transplant about a year ago and while I'm happy with the results, I'm finding that the scar left behind is still quite visible. I'm in my late 30s and work in a professional setting, so I'm looking for tips on how to better camouflage the scar. I've tried using scar creams and silicone sheets, but they don't seem to be doing much. Do any of you have any recommendations for products or techniques that have worked for you in hiding FUT scars? I'm open to both temporary solutions, like makeup, as well as more permanent options, like tattooing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I had a FUT procedure done a few years ago, and I can totally relate to your concerns about scar visibility. In my experience, after one year, my FUT scar was still somewhat noticeable, especially if my hair was cut short. To help camouflage it, I found that growing my hair a bit longer on the sides and back really helped. I also used hair fibers and thickening sprays to add volume and texture to the area, which made the scar less noticeable. It took some trial and error to find products that worked for me, but I eventually found a routine that helped me feel more confident. Just keep experimenting and don't be afraid to ask your hairstylist for advice too! Hope this helps!

Hey there! I had a similar concern after my FUT procedure, and I found that applying a hair concealer spray helped a lot in camouflaging the scar. I used a brand called Toppik, which cost me around $30 a bottle, and it lasted me a couple of months with daily use. It took about 6-9 months for my scar to really start blending in with the rest of my hair, but the concealer definitely helped during that initial period. Just make sure to follow the instructions for application and blend it well with your existing hair for a natural look. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how my scar has faded over time, but it did take some patience and effort to manage it in the early stages. Hope this helps!
