Background:
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a popular technique for treating androgenetic alopecia, but variable outcomes in hair density post-surgery persist. "Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)" has been proposed as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes.
Objective:
This research aims to assess the efficacy of PRP augmentation in improving hair density in patients undergoing FUE.
Methods:
A prospective research was conducted on 50 participants with androgenetic alopecia. Participants were divided into two groups: FUE with PRP (Group A) and FUE alone (Group B). Hair density was measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure.
Results:
At 6 months, Group A demonstrated a 25% greater improvement in hair density compared to Group B (P < 0.05). The PRP group also reported higher patient satisfaction scores.
Conclusion:
PRP augmentation significantly enhances hair density outcomes post-FUE and offers a promising adjunct for androgenetic alopecia management.
