    TLDR Adding PRP to hair transplants improves treatment for cicatricial alopecia.
    This randomized control study involving 45 patients with secondary cicatricial alopecia compared hair transplantation with and without the use of platelets rich plasma (PRP). Each patient's alopecic area was divided into two halves: one half received hair transplantation without PRP, and the other half received hair transplantation with PRP injections. The results indicated that hair transplantation is an effective treatment for cicatricial alopecia, and the addition of PRP, which contains high concentrations of growth factors, further enhances the treatment's effectiveness.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
