How to Remove Hair Transplant Scars (Permanently!)

The only thing worse than not having any hair is having a nasty scar leftover after an unsuccessful hair transplant.

At least when your hair is thinning and you start to look bald, your friends and family can just chalk it up to bad genes and old age.

But when you attempt to get a fuller head of hair and you look worse than before… well, it doesn’t look good.

Yet there is good news: Vantis Institute’s co-founder Jessica Olso developed a proprietary solution to permanently remove hair transplant scars.

Her 11 years of hard-fought experience in plastic surgery has helped her become the world’s leading authority at repairing hair transplant scars. On virtually ANY part of your body.

Here’s how she does it. And if you stick around, you’ll see how she can do it for you!

The Insecurity Of Post-Surgery Scars

The irony of getting a hair transplant surgery to fix the insecurity of hair loss is that you end up with a brand new insecurity: The scar itself.

This is best shown in a Guardian article where many men were sold dreams of hope and left with a reality of disappointment:

“While none of the respondents had suffered serious adverse effects, some patients said they had regrets. They sought a comforting bedside manner and value for money, and were shocked to discover a world of upselling, poor communication, unqualified technicians, and treatment rooms that, in the words of one dismayed patient, felt more like a store cupboard”

“After 10 hours in the clinic, Tom went home. He says he wasn’t warned about the rigorous care required after a transplant, including bandages, scarring and constant spraying of the head with saline solution to avoid infection. He told his employers his webcam had broken to avoid being seen on Zoom for the first few days”

As we’ve already covered before, these transplants can cost up to £5,000 along with several hundred pounds more for additional treatments if the first one didn’t “do the job”.

(At the time of publishing this article, £5,000 is around $6.900 USD… do the math!)

To make matters worse, sometimes you can have the scar AND continued hair loss if things go really badly.

This was the case with 26-year-old IT technician Luke Horsfield, who needed several more treatments from OTHER clinics before he finally got the results he wanted:

“Brit left with a scarred head after undergoing a botched £1,250 hair transplant. Luke Horsfield, 26, IT technician from Bradford, worried about thinning hairline.

Found a clinic in Turkey which would perform a transplant for half the price of UK. After six-hour the operation in December 2018 at the Clinic Center in Instanbul, he was left with scars and bald patches and his hair had failed to regrow”

We won’t get into how some of these clinics can manipulate online reviews and present misleading pictures. That’s another article for another time.

What matters is the solution and what Vantis Institute, the leading hair restoration clinic in Newport Beach, will do to fix this problem.

Why Hair Transplant Scars Are Difficult To Hide

Jessica’s process for hair transplant scar cover up comes from her prior specialty in helping gynecomastia patients fix post-surgery scars — whatever scar was created during a procedure, Jess can fix it to the point where it is invisible.

Yet she quickly realized the problem with post hair transplant scars was unique:

“With hair, a man spends a ton of money to get rid of balding on their scalp. It’s one thing to put on a baseball cap to hide the balding, but with a scar the cap doesn’t hide the scars as they are below the hat when it is worn.

The initial insecurity is now a shadow compared to the new insecurity associated with the scar, which is why I’ve noticed many people express deep regrets over their hair transplant scars.

On top of trying to hide them as much as possible, they now have to explain to people why they have such a large scar on their heads. It destroys self-confidence like nothing I’ve ever seen in my life”

With scars resulting from cosmetic procedures or something more serious like brian surgery, the scar tissue has a very defined line of patches of hair missing.

Since the lines resulting from the incisions are so defined, they are very visible to the human eye from a distance.

You wouldn’t think this is a problem, but at least 80% of the clients treated at Vantis Institute are people who have had hair transplants and come to Vantis to  repair their scars.

From celebrities to everyday people, Vantis “blends” the scar into whatever surrounding hair they have. Every area of the body has to be treated differently and your scalp is no exception.

Here’s how Jessica and her team at Vantis Institute does it.

Jessica’s approach is unique in that no treatment is the same between two different people:

“The trick is to take the scar and blend it with the surrounding color tones to make it invisible. Rather than blending in the scar with skin tone, you have to blend it in with the HAIR. 

You also have to remember that every scar is unique and requires a different pattern using my tools and hands. There’s no set pattern and everybody is unique.

So what I do is create a pattern that mimics new yet natural hair growth of the client, while also using all-natural hair tones. When someone runs their hands through your hair, or you’re coming right out of a pool, you don’t want people to “notice” the missing hair.

This allows someone’s hair to look natural, both from far away and from a few inches up close. The end result is a brand new man who doesn’t appear to have a scar or any missing hair because the end result fits in so well with the surroundings”

Her process allows transformations like the ones below to be the normal expected outcome for every person who walks into her Newport Beach hair restoration clinic:

All of this is done through a proprietary process known worldwide as Vantis Follicle Replication or just “VFR”

Jessica is able to color-match and find the exact tone of surrounding hair, and then formulate pigments of several colors to be deposited into the scar tissue in the form of what appears to be new hair growth.

These organic pigments do not wash away — they are permanent in nature, there’s no downtime with this procedure, and patients can leave on the same day.

They’re not regrowing new hair per se, but we can dramatically improve a man’s aesthetic appearance with just 3-4 sessions (sometimes less).

Even if you walk into their Orange County hair loss clinic as bald as a baby, you can come out looking like you have a full head of hair. You can look like you CHOSE to shave your head, which is a very attractive look for men.

No more Minoxidil, no more Finasteride, and no more expensive injections of blood cells.
