    TLDR PRP improves FUE hair transplant results.
    The study evaluated the clinical outcomes of hair restoration using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique with and without the addition of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in 24 patients. Half of the patients received PRP treatment pre- and post-operatively, while the other half did not. Results showed that the PRP-treated group had better graft survival, density, and overall aesthetic outcomes, with 50% reporting excellent satisfaction and 50% satisfactory results. In contrast, the non-PRP group had 25% excellent satisfaction, 58.33% satisfactory, and 16.67% poor satisfaction. The study concluded that PRP enhances the effectiveness of FUE hair transplantation by promoting graft survival and improving cosmetic results.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 9 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
