PRP is showing great promise in several key areas: skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing. Dr. Joshua Asubiaro of Accellacare and Felix Avajah of Bioluminux conducted a systematic review and found consistent positive outcomes across these applications. For instance, PRP has been linked to enhanced collagen density and overall skin appearance, showcasing impressive skin rejuvenation results. In hair restoration, notably, treated areas reported mean increases of up to 27.7 hairs per centimeter square.

Moreover, PRP’s role in wound healing is notable, accelerating recovery across various types of ulcers. In fat grafting, it has been associated with better graft survival and integration. Despite its efficacy and high patient satisfaction, there’s a call for standardized PRP preparation methods and treatment protocols to further solidify its use.
