    TLDR Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is effective and safe for improving skin appearance.
    This review highlights the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for skin rejuvenation, showing significant improvements in facial parameters such as pore size, texture, wrinkle reduction, and collagen density after one to three sessions. The combination of PRP with hyaluronic acid further enhances skin elasticity and firmness, especially in individuals with lower BMI and those in their 50s and 60s. The study emphasizes the importance of using both physical and biometric data for accurate assessment of skin changes and calls for standardized PRP preparation protocols in future research. Overall, PRP is supported as a reliable and safe option for skin rejuvenation.
