Bibliometric Analysis of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Hair Restoration, Facial Rejuvenation, Dental Procedures, and Gynecological Rejuvenation

The bibliometric analysis of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments reveals that hair restoration is the most researched area, with 228 studies and 57 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Despite its popularity, the lack of standardized PRP preparation and outcome measurement affects result consistency. PRP is effective for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, but evidence quality is often low due to biases. PRP is also explored in facial rejuvenation, dental procedures, and gynecological applications, with varying research activity and evidence quality. The study emphasizes the need for standardized methodologies and high-quality clinical studies to validate PRP's efficacy and safety. PRP is considered a safe alternative with minimal adverse events, though it may be less effective than minoxidil 5% for hair loss.
