A Prospective and Comparative Study to Explore the Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Hair Transplantation for Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most prevalent type of hair loss. Traditionally, treatment for AGA has primarily involved the topical application of minoxidil in conjunction with oral finasteride or spironolactone. Recently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a significant focus of research in hair loss treatment. However, many studies on PRP-assisted hair transplantation have encountered various limitations. This study aims to conduct a prospective, comparative clinical investigation to evaluate the therapeutic effects of combining PRP with minoxidil and finasteride/spironolactone as adjuncts to hair transplantation. From August 2019

Eyebrow Hair Transplantation in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Pitfalls of Short- and Long-Term Results. Eyebrow hair loss is usually a primary feature of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), which causes significant distress to patients and consequently seek medical help. Eyebrow hair transplantation is a well-accepted and aesthetically successful treatment, but there is a lack of information about the short- and long-term results in this subset of patients. To report the short- and long-term eyebrow hair transplantation results in patients with FFA. Ten patients diagnosed with FFA underwent eyebrow hair transplantation. The transplanted hairs were harvested from nonaffected follicles of the occipital scalp skin. On average, 120 to 270 single-hair follicles were implanted per eyebrow. Eighty percent

Old Friend or New Ally: A Comparison of Follicular Unit Transplantation and Follicular Unit Excision Methods in Hair Transplantation. Follicular unit excision (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation using strip surgery (FUT) are the dominant graft harvest methods in hair transplantation. The increase in the demand for FUE has reignited the debate of the relative superiority of the 2 methods subgroups of hair transplant patients are eligible for FUE, FUT, or both procedures. Both FUE and FUT are equally effective in generating high-quality grafts. This detailed evaluation of the FUT and FUE procedures will assist hair restoration surgeons make informed decisions about the best approach for their patients.

Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma versus Saline Solution as a Preservation Solution for Hair Transplantation. Hair transplantation is the only method available to regrow new hairs; hence, enhancing the results of this procedure using state-of-the-art methods has become mandatory in clinical practice.
