“… 42 Additionally, injecting PPP and PRP can ameliorate facial wrinkles. Research by Tsai et al 43 found that PRP is more effective in improving overall skin conditions, whereas PPP is more effective in improving superficial wrinkles. Injecting PPP under the orbital area can also effectively improve under-eye pigmentation, with a therapeutic effect superior to that of PRP injections.…”

Background: Due to their minimal trauma and relative safety, blood products are becoming increasingly popular in medical aesthetics. In recent years, research on the application of blood products has also been increased. This article will summarize the research progress of emerging blood products in plastic surgery in recent years. Methods: We searched the PubMed database for literature related to the application of blood preparation in plastic surgery over the past 5 years and summarized them. Results: Commonly used in plastic surgery are platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin, concentrated growth factor, platelet-poor plasma, and mesenchymal stem cells derived from blood products. They can be used for wound repair and skin and autologous fat transplantation, and can be combined with laser therapy and facial rejuvenation. Conclusions: Understanding the application pathways of blood products in plastic surgery and their respective advantages and disadvantages can help us better choose and use them.

IntroductionPlasma‐rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, and stem cells represent promising new treatments for facial rejuvenation and to enhance other cosmetic procedures. Although these treatments are rapidly advancing, there are no universally accepted treatment protocols for their use. The goal of the following review is to describe some of the possible benefits of PRP, exosomes, and stem cells in aesthetic medicine.ResultsA review of available studies showed that potential uses of PRP include wound healing after facial surgery, facial rejuvenation, androgenetic alopecia, acne scars, striae distensae, and vitiligo. Exosomes may provide beneficial treatment for skin rejuvenation, scar reduction, hyperpigmentation, and hair growth. Stem cells show promise for androgenetic alopecia, scar improvement, and treatment of photoaged skin. These new technologies may be used alone, but are often combined with existing aesthetic treatments.ConclusionPRP, exosomes, and stem cells may play an important role in restoring youthful tissue structure and function. Interpretation of some study results is sometimes challenged by the lack of standardized treatment protocols, including routes of application and dosing. When combined with other devices and techniques, results are sometime unclear as to which treatment plays the greater role.
