In order to grow dermis or epidermis, skin stem cells must be present, and specific conditions must be provided including nutrients, a scaffolding layer and no disruptive movements. Platelet Rich Plasma is the product of blood collection which is then centrifuged to concentrate the cells. It would be impossible for a random stem cell within this blood product to be able to grow into skin.

No. Platelet rich plasma is similar to snake oil.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
