Abstract

Background: Hair transplant surgery using follicular unit extraction technique (FUE) is a common surgical procedure for the treatment of severe hair loss; this study aimed to study the effect of Platelet-rich plasma and assess its role in follicular unit extraction hair transplantation. Material and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted among 40 patients suffering from alopecia and candidate for follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, with age between 25 years and 60 years in group androgenic alopecia; with no age limitation in cicatricial alopecia. Results: Functional and aesthetic outcomes were achieved from adding PRP regimen to follicular unit extraction hair transplantation mainly in cases presented to us with post cicatricial alopecia. The improvement noticed in early recovery time & increase in density, with no statistical difference in patients presented to us with androgenic alopecia. Conclusion: PRP therapy after hair transplantation is beneficial in giving faster density with the reduction in recovery period post cicatricial alopecia, with no benefit in FUE hair transplantation in cases with androgenic alopecia.
