Integrating Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy Into Nursing Practice: A Review of Biological Mechanisms and Clinical Applications

This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly improved hair growth parameters in androgenic alopecia patients and was even more effective when combined with minoxidil, particularly in reducing vellus hair.

In this study, both Endo-RF subcision and the combination of Endo-RF subcision with PRP were shown to be safe and effective for improving post-acne scars, with the combination therapy potentially offering more desirable outcomes.

Patient-reported hair improvements align with actual hair density changes, not hair width.

This systematic review reports positive outcomes for platelet-rich plasma in aesthetic dermatology applications like skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, wound healing, and fat grafting, but highlights the need for standardized protocols in future research.

This review explores platelet-rich plasma's role in wound healing and discusses its potential as a broadly applicable therapeutic option, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this retrospective study at Lausanne University Hospital, 61% of 48 patients with tendinopathies reported favorable outcomes after a single standardized autologous PRP injection, while 36% needed two, and effectiveness was unrelated to platelet concentration, activity level, age, or gender.

This review discusses the potential of platelet-rich plasma applications in regenerative medicine and explores recent progress and challenges in translating non-clinical PRP findings into human treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that participant self-assessments suggested greater improvement in the texture and wrinkles of facial skin treated with PRP compared to normal saline, though dermatologist ratings showed no significant difference.
