TLDR PRP is effective for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and acne scar treatment.

The document reviews the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in anti-aging and aesthetic medicine, highlighting its applications in skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and acne scar treatment. PRP is shown to have beneficial effects in facial rejuvenation, often used in combination with other treatments like hyaluronic acid and microneedling. Studies indicate PRP's efficacy in treating androgenetic alopecia and female hair loss, with systematic reviews and meta-analyses supporting its role in hair restoration. Additionally, PRP is effective as an adjuvant therapy for acne scars, particularly when combined with fractional CO2 lasers. The evidence suggests that PRP is a versatile and promising treatment in aesthetic medicine.
