What is Trichophytic Closure and how does it help a patient?
Trichophytic Closure is a new technique related to Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), which helps in reducing the visibility of donor scar that happens from removal of the strip containing thousands of follicles in order to extract them from the tissue under stereoscopic microscopes. In this technique, the surgeon trims either the upper or lower edge of the donor wound, allowing the edges to overlap each other and the hair to grow directly through the donor scar. This technique can be used on both patients having their first hair transplant and on patients who have had previous hair transplant procedures and want better camouflage for the donor scar. This technique results in a better appearance of the donor area, which is desirable especially for patients with short hair styles.
