RESUMEN
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a kind of autologous blood product. It is a platelet concentrate extracted from autologous blood through centrifugation or apheresis process. It is generally believed that the platelet concentration in PRP should be 4-8 times of the platelet count in the whole blood. Platelets with high concentration can release a variety of growth factors and media after activation, which is conducive to tissue repair and regeneration. PRP has been used in regenerative medicine for more than 30 years, and has achieved good results. In recent years, it has also been widely used in facial aesthetics, involving acne, skin aging, hair loss, chloasma and other fields. In this review, we are not only emphasized the preparation and use of PRP, but also outlined the application progress of PRP in facial aesthetics.
