Historical

​

PRP has been used for more than 35 years. The first publication dates back to 1975.

 

It was used primarily in dental surgery for bone regeneration, then cutaneous repair in diabetic ulcers.

 

Platelets

 

Platelets trigger neovascularisation, cell migration, collagen synthesis and structural improvement. Numerous publications have identified platelet growth factors and their functions during these repair phenomena. A 1996 study showed their curative effect on high grade burns. Another specified the healing mechanisms on wounds.

 

Later, cosmetic surgery applications were developed using PRP as biological glue, then in orthopedics, cardiology and rheumatology. The use of PRP in aesthetic medicine dates back to 2005.
