Trigrowthic Closure

The traditional disadvantage of 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 confines the patients from using very short to short hair styling options. In the hands of expert teams, this linear scar has a width of onlyn 1-3mm and could confine the patient only from  shaving his head, but can use short haircuts.

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 during the second half of 2005 and the main objective has been the way of closing the donor area without leaving a visible linear scar. This effort has finally been successful. The new "Trigrowthic Closure” is now offered as the standard closure to all Strip 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. However, this does not mean that you will obtain a 100% guaranteed non visible scar.

The patient demonstrated below is a Norwood Class 6 and had a Strip of 3,800 Grafts. His photos were taken four months later with very satisfactory growth of hair for that period.

On this patient we have used a "Trigrowthic Closure" and below we demonstrate the left, back and right sides of his head, where exactly the Trigrowthic Closure was applied.

Following up the development of the above patient  who is at this point 7 months post-op, we demonstrate below his result and his donor area that clearly shows that on this patient who had a Super Mega Session of 3,800 Grafts there is good growth and no visible scarring.

Below we demonstrate 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. 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 linear scar, whereas at the 7 month post-op point the donor area is left without visible scarring. >>Click to see results of this patient

Below, you can see an additional example of a patient who has visited our clinic for his second strip. On the first strip, we removed from the donor area shown below 3,000 grafts. We shaved this area to prepare the patient for the removal of the second strip and it shows exactly how the first strip heeled in a period of nine months.

The new Closure opens up a new era in the hair transplant industry that will provide to the patient great strip results and no visible to minimal scars. See more "Trigrowthic Closures" in our Results Section.
