There has been a recent spurt in application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. However, the details regarding use of PRP in various dermatological indications ranging from hair restoration to chronic ulcers are dispersed in literature, herein we have tried to focus all under one heading. Overall, PRP seems to be a promising therapeutic modality but the level of evidence as of now, from the available published data is low. This review will also stimulate readers to carry out well designed, larger population based trials, so as to validate its use in dermatology practice.

Background and ObjectivesFractional radiofrequency micro-needle (FRM) has revolutionized the way we treat a variety of cutaneous conditions using radiofrequency technology. A comprehensive guide is required for clinicians using this technology in treatment of a variety of skin conditions in various skin types. Materials and MethodsThe guidelines were made from a recent round table discussion among experienced clinicians and a review of recent medical literature. ResultsWe concluded that FRM is a safe and effective modality for treatment of conditions commonly encountered in dermatology, and recommended guidelines for optimal treatment of several skin conditions on and off the face using FRM. ConclusionWe developed reproducible guidelines for most effective treatment of a variety of skin conditions using FRM. Conduct of large, multicenter trials will be needed for further optimization of treatment parameters.

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine where body's own cells, tissues or organs can be utilized by replacing, regenerating or engineering to restore or establish normal function. Various published articles demonstrating the role of PRP therapy in cosmetic procedures like scar revision, facial rejuvenation, stretch mark removal, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata and hair transplant were analyzed in depth to understand its efficacy based on facts and figures along with inputs from personal experience. PRP therapy is one of the most upcoming forms of regenerative medicine with the potential to improve the homeostasis of the treated cells and tissues, provided that harvesting standards are maintained.
