Brief Summary
The present study was conducted for analyzing the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in photoaging therapy. Specific arms:
- 1.The investigators will compare the photoaging improvement of PRF and PRP treated face before and after treatment by two blinded investigators.
- 2.The investigators will evaluate the improvement of each parameter of photoaging by Visia system, dermoscope, and optical coherence tomography.
- 3.The investigators will evaluate the safety of the treatment of PRF and PRP.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale
We will compare the photoaging improvement of PRF and PRP treated face before treatment and 3 months after last treatment by two blinded investigators using Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). GAIS, which is a 5-point scale wherein 5 = very much improved, 4 = much improved, 3 = improved, 2 = no change, and 1= worse.
3 months after the last session of treatment
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale
3 months after the last session of treatment
Wrinkle Severity Rating scale
3 months after the last session of treatment
Other Outcomes (8)
The scores of rhytids in VISIA system
3 months after the last session of treatment
The scores of Textures in VISIA system
3 months after the last session of treatment
The scores of Pores size in VISIA system
3 months after the last session of treatment

Study Arms (2)
platelet-rich fibin
EXPERIMENTALEach case will receive 3 sessions of therapies with one month interval. We will apply 1-2ml PRF to the photoaging areas in one side of the cheek of patients by using microneedling.
platelet-rich palsma
ACTIVE COMPARATOREach case will receive 3 sessions of therapies with one month interval. We will apply 1-2ml PRP to the photoaging areas in one side of the cheek of patients by using microneedling.
Interventions
Each case will receive 3 sessions of microneedling therapies with one month interval. Each case will receive platelet-rich fibin therapy on one side of the face. The other side of the face was treated with platelet-rich palsma.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men or female patients older than 20 years old with facial photoaging (Glogau Scale type II)
- The photoaging severity of bilateral face is symmetric.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, hematopoietic malignancy.
- Patients with severe inflammation over treated area, malignancy, keloid, or poor wound healing history.
- Patients had received laser, radiofrequency, ultherapy over treated area within 6 months.
- Patients had received botulism or filler injection over treated area within 12 months.
- Patients had received plastic surgery over treated area within 12 months.
- Patients had severe psychiatric disorders with poor control.
- Patients with other diseases which are not suitable for receiving platelet rich plasma (PRP) or platelet rich fibrin (PRF) therapy.
