TLDR Epinephrine does not significantly affect the severity of hair loss after surgery.

The document from September 25, 2017, examined the effect of epinephrine on post-surgical effluvium in a pilot study involving eight patients with androgenetic alopecia. These patients were divided into two groups: one group underwent surgery without epinephrine, while the other group had epinephrine included in the tumescent solution. The severity of hair loss post-surgery was measured using an effluvium severity score (ESS). The findings indicated that there was no significant difference in post-surgical effluvium severity between the group that received epinephrine and the group that did not. This suggests that epinephrine might not be a key factor in post-surgical effluvium, and the study highlighted the need for further research to understand the multiple factors contributing to this condition.
