HST: developed for burn patients
The HST scientific technique was originally developed as a treatment for patients with burns. Physician and researcher Dr. Coen Gho, founder of the international Hair Science Clinics, studied the field of hair restoration in burns and scars in depth.
How is HST used for scars?
Of all the hair transplant options for scars and burns, HST treatment gives the best, most natural result. Conventional hair transplant techniques (such as FUE) are limited by the number of hairs in the donor area and, very importantly, the size of the grafts. This is different with the HST method: even if there are only a few hairs in the donor area, new hair growth can be achieved in scar tissue.
This is possible because with HST, only a small part of the hair follicle (and not the entire hair follicle) is extracted from the donor area. This small piece of tissue contains several sections from which the hair is regenerated to cause new hair growth in the recipient area. It is therefore selected in a specific way, which only at the Hair Scince Institute has been developed and patented.
The hair also remains intact and normal in the donor area. In fact, the new hairs in the donor area are again suitable for use in the next transplant.
Scientific background
For more than 25 years, physician and researcher Dr. Coen Gho and Professor of Dermatology in Rotterdam Martino Neumann have been working on the development of hair restoration for people with burn scars. Their scientific research laid the foundation for HST and has been instrumental in the physical and psychological recovery of thousands of burn patients.
Burn patients often have only a small donor area available for hair transplantation. In addition, these patients usually have already undergone several rehabilitation procedures, which are very difficult physically and psychologically. Therefore, low pain burden and rapid healing process were important goals in the development of the HST technique.

Natural results
The natural effects of HST are unparalleled. The effect is maintained for life.
Hair transplantation in scars
In addition to burns, scars can also be caused by accidents, surgery or disease. Blood circulation to the skin of the scars is then minimal, so that the hair follicles cannot survive and there is no proper hair growth. Another type of scar is a FUT hair transplant scar, also known as the “strip method”. This leaves a large, visible scar in the donor area. But FUE also leaves circular scars, with similar consequences. With many scars, it is possible to achieve hair restoration with an HST reconstructive treatment.
