The document, "Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Review" from May 18, 2017, discussed the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a simple regenerative medicine method. PRP, which delivers growth factors and other substances to desired areas in high concentrations, was shown to aid in tissue regeneration and enhance tissue healing. It was used in a variety of surgical and medical conditions, including alopecia and hair restoration. However, the document noted that there was a lack of standardization in PRP preparation, composition, and delivery methods across different clinical settings. The presence of different cells in PRP was also found to influence the outcome of clinical studies.
