Case 37: Hair Transplants

By using a newly developed technique for closing the donor site incision we are able to create an imperceptible scar in the majority of cases. The technique essentially slides the lower ledge of the scalp incision under the upper layer of the incision to create a situation in which the hairs from the lower scalp layer grow directly through the scar. Obviously we cannot avoid a scar but this technique helps to camouflage it by having hairs grow in the middle of the scar. The photo below illustrates the traditional donor site closure technique and the new trichophytic closure technique. The same patient is in both photos. The top photo shows the donor site that was used during the first HT session and the bottom is the donor site used during the second session. Dr Vogel did everything identically in both cases except the second case was closed using the NEW trichophytic closure technique. Notice that the hairs which are growing in the scar create a situation in which the scar is virtually undetectable.
