, blood, nutrients and pH shift; C.

Vascular factors – Refers to immediate post-operative oxygen supply and revascularization.

Results & Analysis:

Suction assisted hair transplant with good buffering storage for the graft survival and PRP application

during hair transplant has be done around 350+ cases in past 5 years.
