Hair Transplantation
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus 0.9% normal saline as a storage solution during follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALPlatelet rich plasma (PRP)
Hair grafts will be immersed in autologous Platelwt-richh plasma(PRP) before transplantation.
OTHERSaline
Hair grafts will be immersed in normal saline solution before transplantation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Hair density | 12 weeks after hair transplantation | Hair density (the number of hairs per square centimeter) will be measured using a trichoscope and digital photography in the recipient area. |
| Percentage of Hair Growth | 12 weeks after hair transplantation | The percentage of graft survival will be assessed by comparing the number of transplanted hairs to the number of hairs that have grown in the recipient area using trichoscopic analysis and digital photography. The formula used will be: (number of grown hairs/number of transplanted hairs) x100% |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient satisfaction score | 12weeks after hair translantation | Patient satisfaction will be assessed using Likert scale from 1 to 5 regarding aesthetic results, hair density, and natural appearance. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. |
| Incidence of Postoperative complications | within 1 month after hair transplantation | The number and type of complications, including infection,graft necrosis, excessive shedding, and scalp irritation, will be documented. The severity of complications will be assessed using clinical examination and patient reports |
