Hi Therapy

The suturing is not a guaranteed method of producing scar less healing but a measure of producing exceptional healing. Some follicular units contain thick coarse hair; we suture the sites of extraction to make the extraction sites smaller thus producing a better healing result. Devices used in this procedure are actually not typical instruments used in normal CIT extraction because of the possibility that changes in the skin pigment changes may occur along with unneccesary bleeding.

The patient's unwanted hair had similar characteristics to plugs. They were large and coarse but this suturing method is basically performed at Dr. Cole's discretion. We have observed that scaring is less evident when sutures are used on certain donor areas of the body. Some areas of the body actually heal better and faster than others.

No procedure can guarantee amy patients' final healing result as the skin heals and remodels itself.
