    TLDR Platelet-rich plasma is a promising and cost-effective treatment for hair and skin issues in older adults in India.
    The document reviews the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in geriatric aesthetics in India, highlighting its cost-effectiveness and potential in treating androgenetic alopecia, skin rejuvenation, and other aesthetic concerns in the elderly. PRP is presented as a promising autologous treatment with minimal adverse effects, capable of improving hair density and enhancing skin quality. The review stresses the importance of patient selection, communication, and managing expectations in ethical practice. It also suggests a terminology change from "Platelet-poor plasma" to "Plasma beyond platelets" to better represent the wide applications of plasma in regenerative medicine. The paper concludes that meticulous practice and dedication are essential in geriatric aesthetics, though it does not provide a quantitative analysis or mention a specific study cohort.
