    TLDR Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps heal skin ulcers and stimulates hair growth in dermatology.
    The document discussed the rapidly expanding use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in dermatology, particularly for chronic cutaneous ulcers and aesthetic applications. PRP contains bioactive molecules like type 2 fibroblastic growth factor (FGF-2) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which aid in tissue healing by promoting angiogenesis and dermal fibroblast proliferation. Additionally, FGF-7, or epidermal growth factor, was highlighted for its role in activating keratinocyte proliferation and stimulating hair growth.
