Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become an important therapeutic tool in dermatology, with expanding applications in both medical and cosmetic practice. This article highlights the wide variety of PRP preparation and delivery devices, emphasizing how centrifugation protocols, device design, and administration techniques influence platelet concentration, safety, and clinical outcomes. Options such as microneedling, mesotherapy, needleless systems, and supportive anesthetic devices allow for individualized treatment approaches, while emerging technologies like artificial intelligence promise more objective monitoring. Understanding these differences enables dermatologists to optimize PRP quality, enhance patient comfort, and achieve reproducible results in practice.
