Can Patients with Seborrheic Dermatitis Undergo Hair Transplantation?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, red skin, and stubborn dandruff. For individuals considering hair restoration, a primary medical question arises regarding safety and graft survival.

At Hair Skill Clinic, our standard protocol requires active scalp inflammation to be fully treated and brought under control before any surgical incisions are made. Performing micro-surgery on an actively flaking or inflamed scalp increases the risk of post-surgical infections and can negatively impact follicular unit anchoring.

Once your dermatologist or our medical team clears the condition using specialized medicated shampoos and topical treatments, hair transplantation can proceed safely with high graft survival rates.
