TLDR Micrografts are useful for healing wounds, regenerating bone and periodontal tissues, and improving hair transplantation outcomes.
The document from 2019 highlights the clinical applications of autologous micrografts obtained using the Rigenera® protocol across various medical fields. In dentistry, these micrografts have been effective in periodontal and bone regeneration, and in wound care, they have improved the healing of complex wounds and chronic ulcers. In aesthetic medicine, micrografts have been particularly useful in hair transplantation for treating male pattern baldness. The Rigenera® protocol facilitates the collection and application of these micrografts without the need for cell culture expansion. Additionally, the document discusses the use of micrografts and minigrafts in hair restoration for androgenetic alopecia, burn alopecia, and facial hair reconstruction. The injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is also mentioned as a method to enhance hair density. The versatility of autologous micrografts is emphasized for their potential in regenerative therapies, including bone regeneration, wound healing, and cartilage reconstruction.
