You can barely see the donor scar from the videos.

FUT Scars
The scar on the donor site is nearly invisible with with Trichophytic Closure.

No Linear Scar, New Approaches!
You don’t like to have a linear scar at the back of your head.
FUE is not the only option anymore.
We have new approaches:
1, FUT+FUE approach
We can use FUT method to transplant as many grafts as needed (at the 50% of FUE cost ). With the Tricophytics Closure technique, it will ensure a fine scar. After 6 months if you don’t like the fine scar we can transplant 100 to 200 FUE grafts onto the scar to make the scar invisible.
2, FUT+FUT approach
First step as above but instead of using FUE graft to cover up the scar, we can cut only 2-3 cm strips to use as grafts.
3, FUT+TATOO
This approach is much easier.First step as above but use tatoo to make scar invisible.
Advantages of these approaches compare to total FUE (no linear scar from all approaches)-
1, Much better result. Grafts quality is much better to cut under microscope direct vision then blind FUE extraction.
2, No extensive shave at donor site during the surgery.
3, Leave only 100-200 small punch scars compare to thousand scars left from total FUE procedure.4, Save thousand and thousand surgery fee.
Disadvantage-You may need second minor surgery. But anyway, FUE procedure always needs more than one procedure too.

Hair Can Grow Through Donor Scar
Since Dr. Mario Marzola presented Trichophytic closure in the 2005 July/Aug ISHRS Forum, (Dr. Patrick Frechet also presented a variation of the technique), the appearance of donor scars have been improved significantly. Now hair can grow through the scar.
This photo shows the scar on the donor site (shaved for purpose of picture taking). You can see that there are hairs growing on the red scar area.
If you keep the hair long, the scar is nearly invisible. (Click on photos to see enlarged images)
It is one of the most important discoveries in hair transplant history.
Previously, the hair transplant patient may have wanted to use the same donor area on the second surgery to remove the scar from the prior surgery. However, if we use the same donor area (where the scar is), we harvest 20-30 percent less donor hair. The density in that area was already reduced in the first surgery.
Now with Trichophytic closure, since the scar is not ugly, there is no point in using the same donor area anymore. If one needs a second surgery, we can use a new donor area.
