Available techniques and their uses
The invisible scar.
To avoid any technique of harvesting grafts, even miniaturized, which leave a multitude of dot-like scars becoming larger with time, another very important recent advance invented and used by Dr Frechet (published in the «French Journal of Aesthetic Surgery», 2005 and in the USA «Dermatologic Surgery», 2007) is the Invisible scar closure technique. All patients can benefit from this procedure which is often undetectable even to a patient’s hairdresser.
