TLDR Hair transplant using beard hair made acne scars on cheeks less visible with minimal scarring in the donor area.
In a 2012 study, a 24-year-old male with severe acne scars underwent an innovative hair transplant treatment using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) method. Hair was taken from the beard area and approximately 50 grafts were transplanted into the scars on his cheeks. After 3 months, there was an 80% success rate in graft uptake, resulting in the scars becoming less visible and aesthetically acceptable. The donor area showed negligible scarring. This method was presented as efficient, cost-effective, and free of post-procedure side effects, although it was specified to be suitable only for male patients with beard hair that could effectively camouflage the scarring.
