    AbstractThe platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been studied in bone-related applications for accelerating healing, and the proliferation and regeneration of tissue. Now the dermatological indications increase rapidly in recent years. We have reviewed clinical trials, comparative trials, and meta-analysis of PRP on dermatology through key words and reorganized them into facial rejuvenation, hair, scar, vitiligo, and synergistic effect with fractional CO2 , with a conclusion that PRP has significant improvements in dermatology. But the lack of RCTs and the limit of samples cannot provide sufficient enough evidence for general clinical applications. More RCTs are needed for the increasing demand of new dermatologic therapeutics, and we need adequate samples urgently to make the results more persuasive.© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
