Applications of Platelet-Rich Plasma, Exosomes, and Stem Cells in Aesthetics: A Narrative Review

This systematic review found that platelet-rich plasma may increase hair density and count in male androgenetic alopecia, though limitations in study quality and consistency suggest further research is needed.

This article discusses the potential role of telocytes in skin regeneration and the need to understand their interaction with platelet-rich plasma, reporting no new experimental results.

This review explores platelet-rich plasma's role in wound healing and discusses its potential as a broadly applicable therapeutic option, but it reports no new clinical results.

This meta-analysis found that PRP monotherapy improved hair density in androgenetic alopecia patients but did not affect hair diameter, with stronger effects observed in male subjects.

More research is needed to confirm if Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is effective for treating hair loss.

This study found that while clinical evidence is limited, early preclinical results suggest exosome treatment may enhance hair growth and warrant further research for therapeutic use in alopecia.

This review found that exosome use in aesthetic plastic surgery shows promise in areas like skin rejuvenation and hair restoration, with laboratory studies indicating enhanced outcomes, but clinical evidence remains largely anecdotal, and no exosome-based products have FDA approval.

This review discusses the potential role of exosomes in aesthetic medicine for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration, but reports no new clinical findings and emphasizes the need for further studies with regulatory oversight.

This abstract provides information about data availability and author affiliations but does not contain results or conclusions from the study itself.

This review discusses the varied applications of platelet-rich plasma in plastic surgery and reports mixed evidence on its efficacy, indicating a need for more standardized, controlled trials.

This review evaluated existing studies on platelet-rich plasma for facial rejuvenation and found limited clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness, suggesting that more research is needed to establish its utility.

This review examines the use of platelet-rich plasma in aesthetic medicine and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for further research into its efficacy and safety.

This review discusses the potential of endogenic and exogenous exosomes in dermatology and cutaneous aesthetics, highlighting their capacity to repair and rejuvenate skin tissue, but reports no new experimental results.

In this randomized clinical trial, the authors reported that adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract topical solution increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 16 weeks compared to placebo.

This review evaluates various kits for isolating platelet-rich plasma using established processing standards and finds they enable compliance with consensus quality criteria; ongoing research is needed to refine these procedures for improved consistency and safety.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps improve atrophic acne scars.

This review discusses various aesthetic and regenerative applications of platelet-rich plasma and concludes that it has potential as a safe cosmetic intervention but requires further studies to understand its clinical effects.
