    TLDR Plasma as a graft holding solution improves hair transplant results by increasing graft survival and promoting hair growth.
    In 2018, researchers Anil Kumar Garg and Seema Garg conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy of plasma as a graft holding solution in terms of hair growth and graft survival. The study involved 100 patients who underwent hair transplant procedures. The results showed that the use of plasma as a graft holding solution significantly improved the survival rate of the grafts and promoted hair growth. The histological evaluation revealed that the grafts preserved in plasma had better structural integrity compared to those preserved in normal saline. The study concluded that plasma is an effective graft holding solution that can enhance the outcomes of hair transplant procedures.

      community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

      in Research/Science  25 upvotes 1 year ago
      The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
