Introduction: There are various types of treatment targeting healing traumatic or accidental skin scars. Transplantation of skin grafts and surgical alternatives, including autologous transplantation of melanocyte-keratinocyte suspension, have also been suggested previously. This study is representing a case of previous skin graft transplantation, complaining of scar formation and discoloration on the transplanted segment. Case Presentation: The patient was a 37-year-old lady. This patient underwent melanocytekeratinocyte suspension transplantation and narrow-band ultraviolet B (NUVB) therapy and could reach 40% re-pigmentation enhancement. This method could be introduced as an efficient and safe method of approaching facial scarring.
