    TLDR The document concludes that more standardized research is needed to fully understand and optimize the use of platelet-rich fibrin in regenerative medicine.
    The 2017 document reviews the development and use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in regenerative medicine, especially in surgical applications. It details the evolution of these hemocomponents since the 1970s, their classification, and the distinction between PRP and PRF, including leukocyte-enriched versions (L-PRP and L-PRF). The review highlights the suitability of L-PRF clots and membranes for oral and maxillofacial surgery due to their ability to release growth factors and promote leukocyte migration over time. However, it points out the absence of international standards for characterizing implantable material surfaces and calls for more standardized clinical studies to understand the full potential and optimal effects of L-PRF in regenerative procedures, given the mixed clinical outcomes reported in the literature.

      Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.

      Someone's brother tried Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss; it had minimal effect on hair but improved skin appearance. Microneedling at home was suggested as a more sustainable alternative.
