Microneedling therapy is an increasingly popular treatment of several dermatologic conditions. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may serve as a valuable adjunct to improve the regenerative effects of treatment. We review the evidence comparing the results of microneedling therapy with and without PRP. Based on the current preliminary literature, PRP appears to augment the cosmetic outcomes of micronee...

Objective- To evaluate the effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on wound healing in dogs. Design- Experimental in-vivo study. Animals- 5 mix-breed male adult dogs. Procedures- Under general anesthesia, six 2 × 2-cm, full-thickness skin wounds were created on the back of dogs symmetrically. In each dog, three right side wounds were treated topically with 1.5 ml PRP jelly, whereas lef...

Abstract Background Non-healing surgical wounds is a risk in certain patients. Recently, allogenic plasma-rich-platelet (PRP) used such as regenerative treatment of different non-healing wounds. Purpose We explore the potential role using platelet-derived growth factors from single donor PRP, with freeze-thaw process, for scar ulcer. Methods have PRP preparation protocol that involved cycle cen...

Recently, there are numerous medical treatment options for disorders we used to operate before. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is nowadays routinely used in medicine especially in orthopaedics and for cosmetic purposes. PRP with high rates of platelets and growth factors included in accele...

As use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) increases for intraoperative care of a variety of patients, it is important for perioperative nurses to recognize their benefits. Autologous PRP may decrease postoperative drainage, reduce narcotic requirements, and facilitate an early return to mobility. Postoperatively, patients should experience fewer complication...

Partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) are a common pathology among shoulder disorders in people over 50 years. Treatment of PTRCTs remains controversial. Most studies on the treatment of PTRCTs have explained surgical techniques or outcomes; few studies have centralized on the conservative and new management of PTRCTs, like treatment with Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These case series st...

PURPOSE To establish a low-cost method to prepare platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and evaluates the potential of platelet derived factors to enhance wound healing in the surgical wounds in equine. METHODS To obtain a PRP gel, calcium gluconate and autologous thrombin were added to platelet-rich plasma. For the tests six saddle horses were used and two surgical incisions were made in each animal. W...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been suggested as a therapeutic intervention for female androgenetic alopecia. OBJECTIVE To perform a pilot study on the effect of PRP scalp injections in women with female androgenetic alopecia. MATERIALS AND METHODS This double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study compared the effect of PRP with that of saline placebo as scalp injection. T...
