Abstract Background Many therapeutic options are currently available for facial skin rejuvenation, but little evidence exists about the efficacy of combining such procedures. Objectives To assess and investigate the synergic effect of HA and a-PRP injections on facial skin rejuvenation. Methods For this randomized controlled prospective study, 93 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized into three intervention groups to undergo a series of three treatments sessions with either a-PRP, HA or Cellular Matrix-BCT-HA (PRP-HA) injected on facial cheeks. Results A total of 93 patients were included. Treatment with Cellular Matrix BCT-HA led to a very significant improvement in the overall facial appearance compared to groups treated with a-PRP and HA alone (p<0.0001). Participants treated with Cellular Matrix showed a 20%, 24% and 17% increase in FACE-Q score at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment, respectively. For the HA group, the improvement of FACE-Q score was 12%, 11% and 6% at 1, 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively, while the a-PRP group showed a 9% improvement in FACE-Q score at 1 month and 11% and 8% improvement at 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively.Biophysical measurements showed significantly improved skin elasticity for the group Cellular BCT-HA compared to a-PRP and HA alone. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions Combining a-PRP and HA seems to be a promising treatment for facial rejuvenation with a very significant improvement in facial appearance and skin elasticity compared to a-PRP or HA alone.

AbstractPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autogenously harvested liquid platelet concentrate extracted from a patient's peripheral blood that contains higher than baseline concentrations of growth factors and cytokines. This innovative new technology has demonstrated great promise in the field of plastic surgery, and its use has been evaluated in several clinical settings including wound healing, hair restoration, and skin rejuvenation. The goal of this article is to explain the biology behind PRP and to review the basic principles involved in its preparation. This will be followed by a discussion of some clinical applications of PRP in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.

<p class="abstract">Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapies in medicine has become increasing popular during the last decade. The interest in in the application of PRP in dermatology and cosmetology has increased recently in different applications such as alopecia, skin rejuvenation, wound healing, scar revision, and tissue regeneration. PRP is an autologous blood product obtained from the blood of the patients. The detailed knowledge about PRP should help clinicians better understand this therapy. In this view, the current review was done for a better understanding of what pathologies can be corrected with PRP.</p>

In recent years, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) have been used separately for many clinical applications, especially skin rejuvenation. A combined injection of PRP and ADSCs could therefore be used to treat skin wrinkles. However, there are controversies and reports with conflicting results regarding the efficacy of this treatment. The authors aimed to determine the anti-wrinkle and skin rejuvenation mechanism of combined PRP and ADSCs treatment. The effects of PRP and ADSCs isolated from the same consenting donors were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models. The in vitro effects of PRP and ADSCs on dermal fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, and inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) production were investigated using a co-culture model. Fibroblasts and ADSCs were cultured within the same dish, but in two separate cavities (using an insert plate), in the presence of the same PRP-supplemented medium. In vivo, the authors evaluated the effects of combined PRP and ADSCs on skin histochemistry, including changes in the dermal layer and collagen production in photo-aged skin (mice). They also determined the survival and differentiation of grafted ADSCs. The results show that combined PRP and ADSCs strongly stimulate in vitro fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, and inhibition of MMP-1 synthesis. Intra-dermal co-injection of PRP and ADSCs was observed to stimulate increased dermal layer thickness and collagen production compared with the untreated group. These results indicate that a combined PRP and ADSC injection can reduce wrinkles more effectively than either PRP or ADSC alone, and provide insight into the clinical use of PRP combined with ADSCs for dermal applications, particularly skin rejuvenation.

AbstractPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autogenously harvested blood plasma containing concentrated levels of platelets and growth factors. PRP has been identified as a promising treatment for enhancing wound healing and has been used for decades in multiple medical specialties including cardiac surgery, oral surgery, ophthalmology, and orthopedic surgery. Growing evidence for multiple aesthetic surgery applications has recently been developed, particularly for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. The goal of this article is to review the current medical literature on PRP and identify promising applications that may be integrated into a modern aesthetic surgery practice. The evidence for the use of PRP technology is rapidly expanding as a powerful therapy for select cosmetic surgery patients.

Purpose: To describe one-year functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients with post-enucleation enophthalmos who underwent lipostructure plus platelet-rich plasma injections. Materials and Methods: 26 patients treated with orbital lipostructure and three platelet rich plasma injections at 1, 2 and 6 months after surgery were retrospectively assessed. Photographs of all patients were taken preoperatively and at 1 and 12 months after surgery. The area of each eye lid esthetic unit/subunit was calculated, both in frontal and profile images. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Paired t-test was used to compare the unit/subunit areas before and after surgery. Differences were considered significant when P <0.05. Results: Comparing baseline to 1-month images, an improvement of the enophthalmos appearance was observed in all patients. Analysis of each single esthetic units was performed, with an overall unit area reduction of 19.8%. Comparing the two postoperative images, the overall amount of resorption was 12.75%. The surgical procedure appeared to be well tolerated in all cases. Minor complications regarding the lower eyelid were recorded in 6 cases. Conclusions: lipostructure plus platelet rich plasma injections proved to be a valid and effective option for the treatment of post enucleation socket syndrome.
