    Studysummary This review synthesizes evidence supporting the efficacy of PRP in dermatological conditions like wound healing and alopecia, but emphasizes the need for standardized protocols and larger randomized controlled trials. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is highlighted for its regenerative effects and favorable benefit-to-risk ratio in dermatology, particularly for conditions like wound healing, alopecia, skin rejuvenation, scar revision, and striae distensae. PRP is rich in growth factors that aid tissue healing and angiogenesis, with minimal adverse effects. While PRP has been used both as a standalone and adjunctive treatment, the review emphasizes the need for standardized study designs and PRP protocols. Future research should prioritize large-scale randomized controlled trials with standardized methods and longer follow-up periods to solidify PRP's efficacy in cosmetic dermatology.
