TLDR PRP is a safe, low-cost treatment used in dermatology for hair loss, skin rejuvenation, scar repair, and wound healing.

The document reviewed the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits in treating various skin conditions. PRP, derived from the patient's own blood, was found to promote healing and tissue regeneration due to its high concentration of growth factors. The review discussed its effectiveness in treating hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, by stimulating hair growth and improving hair density. Additionally, PRP showed promise in enhancing wound healing, reducing scars, and rejuvenating aging skin. The findings suggested that PRP could be a valuable tool in dermatological treatments, though further research was needed to standardize protocols and confirm long-term efficacy.
