| Abstract: | The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has proved promising regarding its applicability
in dermatology, especially in the healing of chronic ulcers. The autologous
platelet-rich plasma is obtained by centrifuging the blood, so that the
components are separated by density gradient. The final product is a gel rich in
growth factors that act in tissue repair by activating fibroblasts and inducing
extracellular matrix remodeling. |
