History of autologous platelet-rich plasma: A short review

Patrycja Mościcka, Andrzej Przylipiak, Patrycja Mościcka, Andrzej Przylipiak

Abstract

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical material with numerous applications. It produces particularly spectacular effects when applied in cosmetic dermatology.

Aim: To illustrate the origin of the treatment.

Conclusion: The therapy originates from transfusiology, where it is applied as a concentrate of platelets to treat trombocytopenia. PRP treatment is 70 years old and has an increasing number of applications. PRP holds particular promise for cosmetic dermatology.

Keywords: cosmetic dermatology; history; platelet-rich plasma; regeneration; rejuvenation.
