GlossaryTrichophytic Closure

surgical technique allowing hair growth through scar tissue

Trichophytic Closure is a surgical technique used in hair transplant procedures to minimize the appearance of scars. By trimming the edges of the wound in a specific way, hair can grow through the scar tissue, making it less noticeable. This method is particularly useful in procedures like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) to achieve a more natural-looking result.
