    Studysummary This review concludes that the two-stage technique of hair transplantation with prior fat grafting appears effective for treating scalp scars, based on existing literature. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The narrative literature review concluded that a two-stage hair transplantation technique, involving prior fat grafting followed by hair transplantation using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, was effective for treating scalp scars. This conclusion was based on data collected from studies in the Medline, Lilacs, and IBECS databases, and included references to research on mesenchymal cells in adipose tissue.
