The use of tissue expansion for the treatment of burn scar alopecia.
Tissue expansion is an ideal reconstructive procedure for burn scar alopecia. Donor tissue is generated in situ, allowing for the use of hair-bearing tissue to reconstruct an area of alopecia. The process of tissue expansion results in a redistribution of the remaining hair follicles to replace the area of alopecia.
