Senior Member hairbank Posted February 16, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2007 This is a closure method where either the top or bottom part of the donor incision is "beveled" causing hair to grow through the scar when it heals. So, you still have the thin scar, but there's hair growing through it. I had one with HT number 2, it really does work. Make sense?

Senior Member MrJobi Posted February 18, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Dazz To give you an idea of the scar. I had the T closure and I can get down to Guard 2 or so without anything showing. Even better if the clip down to 3 and then cut with scissors. Fue will not leave a linear scar but it's more expensive and you will get less grafts in one session for the most part. JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
