Understanding Hairline Correction

Hairline correction is a focused type of hair transplant that targets problems with the shape, position, or density of your hairline. It is most commonly used to address early hair loss where the hairline has begun to recede or fix issues left behind by a previous hair transplant.It can fix issues like a hairline that’s too high or low, looks too straight or harsh, has wrongly angled grafts, appears plug-like, or is uneven side to side.

The Hairline Correction Transplant: Step-by-Step Guide

Improperly placed or old plug grafts are removed individually using the FUE punch technique. This is the same minimally invasive method used in standard hair transplants. This causes minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.

Single-hair grafts that are placed in front of larger or denser grafts to create a soft, feathered leading edge mimicking the way a natural hairline looks up close.

If you have a linear scar from a previous strip procedure, hair can be grafted directly into the scar tissue to make it virtually invisible.
