Abstract

Introduction: Skin rejuvenation techniques have gained substantial popularity due to increased life expectancy over recent years. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) is the new generation of platelet aggregate products that have surfaced in recent years to treat skin aging.

Objectives: We intend to use PRF to correct periorbital wrinkles in 15 volunteers and evaluate its effectiveness in this study.

Methods: To evaluate the efficacy of PRFM intervention, eight men and women over the age of thirty entered our study. Blood samples were taken and were immediately centrifuged at 700rpm for 5 minutes. PRFM was extracted from the plasma and was injected at the sub-dermis site in periorbital areas. The initial severity of periorbital wrinkles was determined by Visioface 1000D, and obtained numbers were delivered to the statistical unit for statistical analysis. Scoring and evaluation were based on tissue volume and depth and were measured before and twelve weeks after injection. Adverse effects were also taken into consideration.

Results: The results demonstrated noticeable improvement in deep, fine, and small wrinkles, periocular hyperpigmentation, and overall skin freshness of the injection site. The subjects had swelling in the injection site for up to one day after the injection, which resolved without complications.

Conclusions: PRFM was observed to have potential in skin rejuvenation, demonstrating promising outcomes in terms of safety and long-term effects in improving skin condition.
