Abstract

This article explores the utilization of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (APRP) as a supplementary treatment for thermal burns. Given its abundance in diverse growth factors, APRP holds significant promise as an adjunctive therapy to enhance outcomes across various plastic surgery procedures. This case report highlights the beneficial effects of APRP in expediting the wound healing process in a patient with thermal burns
