 Trigrowthic Closure The traditional disadvantage of the strip harvesting technique is that it tends to leave a linear scar on the donor area. This scar in the hands of non-experts can be as wide as 3-10mm, which prevents the patients from using very short to short hair styling options. In the hands of an expert team, this linear scar has a width of only 1-3mm and allowing the patient to have short hairstyles. HDC Hair Clinic is a pioneer in developing new techniques. Research and development is a continuous process so that new techniques can be offered to the public. One such research programme has been ongoing since the second half of 2005. The main objective has been perfecting a technique closing the donor area without leaving a linear scar visible to the naked eye. This effort has finally been successful. The new "Trigrowthic Closure" is now offered as the standard closure to all strip method hair transplant patients at no extra cost with amazing results. This involves a triple closure of the donor site after the removal of the epithelium on the lower edge. The results are very encouraging even in Super Mega Sessions. In the following animation we illustrate the way that the triple closure is performed so that only one suture is visible after the closure is completed. We use absorbable sutures, however we advise that the external suture is removed ten days following surgery to maximise patient comfort. The patient shown below is a Norwood Class 6 and had a strip of 3,800 Grafts on the 14th July, 2005. His photos were taken four months later with very satisfactory growth of hair for that period of time.
On this patient we have used a "Trigrowthic Closure" and the photos below show the left, back and right sides of his head, exactly where the Trigrowthic Closure was applied. Click on the photos to enlarge so that you can see that there is no visible scar.
Following the continued progress of the patient above, here we see photos from 7 months post-op. This patient had a Super Mega Session of 3,800 Grafts with great growth and absolutely no visible scar. Click on the photos to enlarge so you can see the details.
Below is another example of Trigrowthic Closure on a patient with Norwood Class 5, who had a Strip Super Mega Session of 4,410 Grafts, 3,000 to the front and 1,410 to the crown. His procedure was carried out on the 9th November 2005 and here we show his donor area 40 days later.
As you can see, the donor area where the Strip of 4,410 grafts was removed, is still red but without any signs of leaving a scar. These findings may be the beginning of a new era in hair transplant surgery that will leave the patient with great results and no visible scars. More and more "Trigrowthic Closures" with non to minimal scarring results, will be presented soon from HDC Trichology Centre.
