Healing of a Large Wound Defect Post Debridement, with PRF Therapy and High Dose Oral Vitamin C, in a Patient of Severe Irritant Contact Dermatitis Due to Slaked Lime: A Case Report.

Platelet-rich blood concentrates have been used to accelerate healing process in wounds and in bones since many decades worldwide. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a relatively new and established therapy, utilizing platelets and leucocytes trapped in fibrin matrix, for the treatment of non-healing ulcers and wounds. Many large series are available in this subject to prove its efficacy.

Successful follicular unit extraction in a case of inactive, recalcitrant alopecia barbae.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a non-scarring autoimmune type of alopecia. Hair transplantation in AA is not practiced as the implanted follicular grafts might be destroyed due to underlying autoimmune pathology. A biopsy proven 28 year old male patient of AA presented to us with an 8-year history of a hairless patch over the beard area.

Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): The newest biomaterial and its use in various dermatological conditions in our practice: A case series.

Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) is a second generation, fully autologous, blood-derived biomaterial having three-dimensional fibrin meshwork, like that of a PRF clot, while retaining the fluid nature, just like platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Along with platelets and its growth factors, injectable PRF predominantly has collagen type-1, lymphocytes along with its growth factors. Preparation of injectable PRF is simple and requires minimal instrumentation and materials, making it a cost-effective product.
