January 2026 in “Redalyc (Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México)” This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in non-surgical aesthetic procedures, focusing on facial rejuvenation and alopecia. Four randomized controlled trials were included, showing that PRP significantly improved hair density by 26.4 ± 6.2 units/cm² and enhanced facial texture by up to 35%. The standardized mean difference was 1.17, indicating a strong effect size, with no serious adverse events reported. The study concludes that PRP is an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia and facial rejuvenation, recommending standardization of protocols and long-term follow-up studies.
