    Platelet Rich Plasma has been discussed at our meetings before. At a prior time we were encouraged to soak our grafts in PRP to promote growth. There may be a future in direct injections as Dr. Greco is demonstrating.

    I want to comment on the patient with dark hair. The result here is impressive.
    The location of the bald spot is unusual. The bald spot is behind a normal hairline. This is not the location of male pattern balding. If the patient had alopecia areata which usually disappears spontaneously, it is conceivable that similar photos could have been taken with no treatment.
    This is a great observation. That's what I thought too when I saw that photograph. It presents a lot more like AA than AGA.
    But then again, we don't have a full medical history for this patient. We don't know if he had a transplant in the past to fill in his hairline, then had further recession to cause that abnormal bald spot.
