TLDR Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is helpful for skin and hair treatments and works better when combined with other procedures.
The document from 2019 discussed the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), an autologous serum with high concentrations of platelets and growth factors, in dermatology. PRP was found to be beneficial in various areas such as hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, acne scars, dermal augmentation, and striae distensae. The study also found that combining PRP with other treatments like laser therapies, microneedling, dermal fillers, and autologous fat grafting led to improved aesthetic results. However, the document suggested that future studies should aim to standardize PRP treatment protocols for specific indications.
