A Single-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study of the Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to Reduce Scalp Hair Transplant Adverse Effects

The study conducted by Robert J. Reese in 2008 investigated the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to reduce adverse effects in scalp hair transplants. This single-blinded, randomized controlled trial aimed to determine if PRP could improve outcomes for patients undergoing hair transplant procedures. The results indicated that PRP treatment led to a significant reduction in common post-transplant complications such as swelling, redness, and pain. The study concluded that PRP could be a beneficial medium in hair transplant surgeries to enhance patient recovery and overall satisfaction.
