Background:
Hair loss is a frequent problem that impacts physical appearance and psychological health. Platelet-Rich Plasma is best treatment and calcium gluconate activation could further augment the regeneration ability and enhance hair rejuvenation results.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of PRP alone versus calcium gluconate therapy combined with platelet-rich plasma in promoting hair rejuvenation in patients with hair loss.
Methods: A Comparative study with cross sectional design was conducted of total 92 patients with hair loss in which they were divided into two groups of PRP alone (n=46) and Calcium Gluconate + PRP (n= 46). The structured questionnaire was used to obtain the data which were analyzed by SPSS version 26.0.
Results: There were significantly more improvements in hair density, hair thickness, hair quality, new hair growth and reduction of hair shedding in the Calcium Gluconate + PRP group compared to the PRP group. Also an improvement in treatment satisfaction and willingness to recommend treatment in the combination therapy group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: PRP (with calcium Gluconate) proved to be more effective than PRP alone to promote rejuvenation of the hair. The hair loss management using combination therapy is a safe and a promising approach.
