Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma versus Saline Solution as a Preservation Solution for Hair Transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hair transplantation is the only method available to regrow new hairs; hence, enhancing the results of this procedure using state-of-the-art methods has become mandatory in clinical practice. Recent studies have suggested that significant improvements in hair density and stimulation of hair growth occur when follicular units are pretreated with platelet plasma growth factors before implantation. This study aimed to investigate and compare the outcomes of this procedure using platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-preserved hair grafts and saline-preserved hair grafts.

Methods

This is a randomized controlled study. The study included 27 men and 3 women aged 22-51 years. Clinical examination (general and local) and preoperative marking were performed in these patients. The surg
