Avoid burning or scarring the scalp for hair growth; instead, use treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, or consider a hair transplant. Microneedling should be done carefully, and extreme methods can cause harm.

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Can a hair transplant cover scars? Hair transplants can effectively cover scars on the scalp with proper assessment.
Does FUT leave a scar and is it visible? FUT leaves a linear scar that may be visible with very short hairstyles.
Will there be visible scarring after a hair transplant? Hair transplants can leave scars, but FUE typically results in minimal, nearly invisible ones.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
