Background: The standard treatment of burn has slow healing time and bad outcomes and applying external blood platelet on the burn wound had shown to accelerate the healing process and prevent the infection.
Objective: To evaluate clinical usefulness and wound healing progress after applying Platelet Rich Plasma on second degree facial burn patients.
Patients and Methods: we included patients with second degree recent facial burn, not exceeding 20 % of TBSA. Patients were randomly allocated to receive topical PRP application (Group A), PRP intradermal injection (Group B), and conventional facial burn care (Control group).
Results: We recruited 60 patients aged ranged from 19 to 37 years. the time needed for complete healing for group A, B and control group were 8.7, 7 and 11 days, respectively. Group A and B showed the best satisfaction rate (90% and 80% respectively). Group A showed less rate of early complications while group B showed the less rate of late complications
Conclusion: Platelet rich plasma either topical or intradermal injection is safe and effective option for wound healing process on second degree facial burn patients.
