It included 16 patients with androgenic alopecia checked, patients included in the study was divided into two groups according to receiving RPR or not, Group (1); 8 Patients treated with FUE with PRP. Group (2); 8 Patients treated with FUE without PRP. The average age and degree of medical comorbidities were comparable in the 2 groups. Hair density indices were compared using Trichoscope. Results: All 8 patients treated with PRP showed a good hair regrowth, with prefect outcome. Of the 8 patients treated without PRP, 5 showed a good hair regrowth, with good outcome. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that PRP treatment during the hair transplant plays a significant role in hair re-growth, and it remarkably improves density and quality of hair growth.
