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

This bibliometric analysis examines the trends in research on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in cosmetics from 2001 to 2022, identifying 306 publications. The study highlights the growth in publications over 21 years, with the United States and the Fourth Military Medical University being the most prolific in this field. Key research areas include PRP's use in rejuvenation, its mechanisms, and its combination with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Despite early promising results, the study notes challenges such as the need for higher-quality clinical studies and a better understanding of PRP's mechanisms. The analysis provides insights into academic hotspots and future research directions.
