“…Age of scar, vascularity, presence of atrophy or hypertrophy, healthy nature of underlying tissue, any underlying pathological disease process, skin texture, area involved, and availability of donor area are the factors that decide graft survival and optimum hair growth following FUE in scarring alopecia. [ 15 ] In case of cicatricial alopecias secondary to inflammatory dermatological diseases, FUE can be considered as an option only when the disease activity is quiescent, and when the underlying dermatoses are adequately treated with anti-inflammatory agents and immunosuppresants. If the disease is unstable with plenty of inflammatory infiltrate, the implanted follicular grafts might get destroyed with the same mechanism of the underlying disease pathology.…”

“…If the disease is unstable with plenty of inflammatory infiltrate, the implanted follicular grafts might get destroyed with the same mechanism of the underlying disease pathology. Also, in conditions like lichen plano-pilaris, there are chances of koebnerization if the underlying disease activity still persists[ 15 16 ] FUE in thermal burn scar - Burn injuries; whether thermal or chemical; can lead to complete destruction of hair follicles along with severe scarring of tissue. Dermoscopy and histopathological assessment aids in judging the prognosis of FUE in burn scars.…”

Follicular unit extraction [FUE] is a minimally invasive hair restoration surgery popularly known for its utility in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). In FUE, individual follicular grafts are extracted from donor area and implanted in the recipient area. Advantages of FUE are that it is comparatively 'scarless', has faster healing time, has less downtime and requires less technical staff. This article is aimed to highlight upon the multi-faceted utility of FUE technique in various dermatological indications like androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, facial hair restoration, tractional alopecia, scarring alopecia, body hair transplant, vitiligo as well as hirsutism.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is becoming an increasingly popular method for hair restoration. As FUE leaves behind no linear scars, it is more suitable to harvest from various body areas including beard, chest, and extremities in hirsute individuals. Body hair characteristics such as thickness, length, and hair cycle may not completely match to that of the scalp hair. The techniques of harvesting body hairs are more time consuming, requiring higher degree of skill than regular scalp FUE. Body hair transplantation can be successfully used either alone or in combination with scalp hair in advanced grades of baldness, for improving the cosmetic appearance of hairlines and in scarring alopecia when there is paucity of donor scalp hair. Harvesting of body hairs opens up a new viable donor source for hair restoration surgeons, especially in cases of advanced Norwood grades five and above of androgenetic alopecia.

“…The availability of donor hair is sometimes a limiting factor, but FUE offers the added advantage of harvesting hair from other body areas such as the beard when need be (when the density of the scalp donor area is inadequate or when the donor area is affected by the disease process) [6,7]. …”

Primary scarring alopecias are a group of inflammatory conditions in which the main target of the inflammation is the hair follicle. They represent up to 7.3% of the hair loss cases presenting to specialty hair clinics. They are poorly understood, their pathogeneses are mostly unknown and their management is guided at best by the results of small case series and expert opinions. These alopecias are frequently referred to as a trichologic emergency as their progression can be rapid and the hair loss they induce is permanent. In view of the suboptimal solutions offered by the pharmacological treatments available and the significant emotional distress caused by these conditions, it is only normal for patients with scarring alopecias and their treating physicians alike to explore the prospects of surgical correction. This review attempts to summarize what is known about hair restoration surgery in scarring alopecia.
