Summary

This study tested whether using a mix of povidone-iodine and rifampicin on the scalp before hair transplant surgery helps wounds heal faster and prevents infections better than using povidone-iodine alone. 65 adults having hair transplants were randomly assigned to get either the combined antiseptic or the standard one. Researchers checked for infections and healing on days 3, 7, and 14 after surgery.
