PRP and Hyaluronic Acid for Bone Exposure Wounds
In lower-extremity surgery, wounds with bone exposure present a significant challenge. A study conducted at the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, explored the effectiveness of combining Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dressings for wound healing.
Study Overview
- Patients with post-traumatic bone exposure were treated with HA dressing alone or in combination with PRP.
- Fifteen patients participated in the study.
Findings
- The mean re-epithelialization time was 8.1 weeks in 73.3% of patients treated with PRP and HA.
- Only 30% of patients treated with HA alone showed similar healing progress.
- The study confirmed that PRP is beneficial for both soft- and hard-tissue wound healing.

PRP and Fat Grafts for Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy
Progressive hemifacial atrophy, also known as Parry-Romberg syndrome, is a rare degenerative condition causing atrophy on one side of the face. Researchers examined the effects of PRP combined with autologous fat grafts to restore facial volume.
Study Approach
- PRP was obtained from a 9 mL blood sample and processed into platelet gel.
- The Coleman technique was used to inject fat grafts to restore facial contour.
Results
- Patients experienced improved three-dimensional facial volume.
- The combination of PRP and fat grafts showed significant effectiveness in restoring skin density and tissue structure.

Face and Neck Rejuvenation Using PRP
A study evaluated the benefits of PRP for facial and neck revitalization, assessing patient outcomes over a three-month period.
Methodology
- 23 patients received three PRP injection sessions, spaced one month apart.
- Blood was processed using a sterile Regen Lab Kit.
- Patients were monitored using dermoscopy, digital imaging, and specialized medical imaging software.
Findings

PRP and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) for Skin Regeneration
A study investigated the effects of PRFM injections on skin rejuvenation.
Study Parameters
- Four healthy adult volunteers received PRFM injections into the deep dermis and subdermis.
- Skin biopsy specimens were collected over a 10-week period.
Results
- Fibroblast activation and collagen deposition were noted within 7 days.
- New blood vessel formation was evident by day 19.
- Adipocyte stimulation was observed, contributing to soft tissue augmentation.
- The study highlighted PRFM’s potential role in facial plastic surgery.
