Seneca’s Scientific Presentation – Post-Burn Scarring Alopecia Restoration
Dr. George Gounnaris presented an exceptionally demanding case of post-burn scarring alopecia, demonstrating Seneca’s ability to deliver advanced solutions even in the most challenging circumstances.
The case involved a 31-year-old female patient suffering from extensive scarring alopecia on the right frontal-temporal area following a severe burn injury that had caused significant follicular destruction.
The restoration was performed using the Direct FUE technique, combined with three PRP sessions prior to the procedure to enhance tissue healing. A total of 1,122 follicular units were harvested and implanted with high precision, using a 1:1 extraction-to-implantation ratio, achieving an implantation density of approximately 30 grafts/cm².
The outcome was exceptionally natural, with a harmonious hairline, restored density, and visibly revitalized skin condition in the affected area.
Why Scarring Alopecia Is a Major Medical Challenge
Scarring alopecia caused by trauma or burns is considered one of the most difficult forms of alopecia to treat, as the affected tissue is typically rigid, less vascularized, and generally hostile to graft survival.
The successful outcome of this case highlights the high level of expertise of Seneca’s medical team and confirms that the Direct FUE technique, when performed by experienced doctors, can deliver outstanding results even in the most demanding medical scenarios
