Successful Hair Transplant Outcome in Cicatricial Lichen Planus of the Scalp by Combining Scalp and Beard Hair Along with Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP treatment for hair loss shows some evidence of effectiveness, with HT surgeons using it post-op to promote growth. Microneedling is mentioned as a cheaper alternative.

A 27-year-old male experienced rapid hair loss after dengue fever, which activated a balding gene. The doctor suggested platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.

Using PP405 and Clascoterone after a hair transplant may not cause issues if the transplant didn't achieve native density, but could lead to competition for blood supply if it did. Some users suggest waiting for these drugs to be available, as they might not significantly impact blood supply or regrowth.

A user shared their experience with a beard-to-scalp hair transplant, noting no visible scars and improved hair density using finasteride and minoxidil. The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalp hair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.

The user experienced hair loss after chikungunya and started PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections with injectable Dutasteride, noticing new hair growth. They are hopeful for continued improvement.
