A Bibliometric Analysis of Trends in the Application of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Cosmetics Research Between 2001 and 2022

The bibliometric analysis of 306 articles on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in cosmetics from 2001 to 2022 reveals a growing interest in PRP's potential for tissue regeneration, particularly in the United States, which leads in publications and citations. The study highlights the collaborative nature of research, with contributions from 45 countries, and identifies key authors and institutions. Despite low institutional cooperation, significant scientific innovation is noted, with a focus on PRP's efficacy in cosmetic applications such as skin rejuvenation, alopecia treatment, and scar management. The analysis underscores the need for large-scale, high-quality randomized clinical trials and anticipates future research on advanced PRP formulations and personalized treatments.
