TLDR Platelet-rich plasma therapy is versatile and popular for various treatments, including anti-aging.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, also known as Dracula therapy, has been used since the 1950s and involves using a patient's own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. Despite misconceptions and varying results due to different PRP kits and activation methods, PRP has shown significant benefits in treating sports injuries, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation. Results are typically noticeable within 3-4 weeks, and the procedure is safe with minimal downtime. PRP can be used alone or with other treatments, making it a popular choice for patients seeking natural anti-aging solutions.
