A Retrospective Study on the Use of Dermis Micrografts in Platelet-Rich Fibrin for the Resurfacing of Massive and Chronic Full-Thickness Burns

    TLDR The PRF/micrograft spray-on skin method effectively healed massive and chronic burns quickly.
    This retrospective study investigated the use of autologous micrografts combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for treating massive and chronic full-thickness burns in five male patients. The technique involved applying a solution of micrografts and PRF to the wound bed, followed by meshed skin grafting. The study found high graft take rates (96%-98%) and successful wound healing, with complete reepithelialization occurring within days. The approach showed potential as an effective treatment, particularly in resource-limited settings, although the small sample size and retrospective design indicated the need for further randomized trials to confirm efficacy.

      The user's hair regrowth plan includes topical treatments (RU58841, azelaic acid, ketoconazole), oral supplements (Gia Herbs, castor oil), microneedling, PTD-DBM peptide with valproic acid, red light therapy, inversion table with scalp massage, and platelet-rich fibrin injections. Commenters suggest that finasteride and minoxidil are essential treatments for male pattern hair loss, which are missing from the plan.
