NCT06452667

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. 1.The investigators will compare the photoaging improvement of PRF and PRP treated face before and after treatment by two blinded investigators.
  2. 2.The investigators will evaluate the improvement of each parameter of photoaging by Visia system, dermoscope, and optical coherence tomography.
  3. 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

  • +5 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

platelet-rich fibin

EXPERIMENTAL

Each 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.

Procedure: platelet-rich fibin

platelet-rich palsma

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Each 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.

Procedure: platelet-rich palsma

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.
