An In vitro Study Comparing the Survival of Hair Follicles in Various Storage Media at Different Temperatures for Hair Transplant Procedure

According to the study's findings, freezing graft storage options might not be the best option. Instead of 4°C or room temperature 26°C, 37°C has been shown to improve hair graft survival. Furthermore, these study results indicated that 10% DMEM preserves hair follicles more effectively than PBS, PRP, and I-PRF. The study concluded that maintaining hair follicles in 10% DMEM at 37°C would prolong graft life and improve therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

According to the study's findings, freezing graft storage options might not be the best option. Instead of 4°C or room temperature 26°C, 37°C has been shown to improve hair graft survival. Furthermore, these study results indicated that 10% DMEM preserves hair follicles more effectively than PBS, PRP, and I-PRF. The study concluded that maintaining hair follicles in 10% DMEM at 37°C would prolong graft life and improve therapeutic outcomes.
