Can Trichophytic Closure Technique Remove My Scar?

As you can see in the picture I have had 2 HT strip scar procedures. I always liked to cut my hair short with a 1# guard but after 2nd HT scar (top one) I cut hair with 2 guard and it’s still visible. Right now I don’t know if I should get another HT but I do want repair work.

If I go and get the Trichophytic Closure Technique can my old scars be removed? How can this be possible?

How about body hair transplants into my old HT scars?

Will I ever be able to cut hair close again with a 1# guard?

Thank you

No.

All cuts will produce a scar.

The worst doctor with the worst technique can operate on one patient and have a great result with minimal scarring. Likewise, the best doctor with the best technique (using Trichophytic closure, etc) can operate on another patient and have a poor result with wide scarring. In other words, everybody heals differently and some people are more prone to scarring.

Generally a Trichophytic closure technique will benefit 1mm of the scar margin. So if you have a 5mm width scar, a Trichophytic closure technique will make it look more like a 4mm scar. It is obvious that the wider the scar is, the less benefit will be obtained by the Trichophytic closure.

At NHI, we offer free scar revision to our former patients. Sometimes we are able to achieve an improvement, but as stated earlier, there will always be a scar.

Body hair transplants are not considered a standard of care in my opinion and are still controversial because of their long dormant stage and growth cycles.
