Background: Facial aging causes a devastating physical and mental impact on quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in the treatment of cutaneous photoaging (SCF). Method: Between March 1, 2017 and March 31, 2021, at the “Hermanos Ameijeiras” hospital, a randomized, single-center, double-blind and controlled clinical trial was carried out in 164 patients with ECF. A group treated with CPA was compared to another treated with fresh autologous plasma (AFP). The treatment was applied monthly for 1 year. Results: Three months after the end of the treatment, there were significant differences between the patients treated with CPA compared to those treated with PFA in terms of the improvement in the degree of photodamage and the degree of satisfaction (p

Introduction: Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product obtained after centrifugation of the blood. Contains high concentrations of platelets and growth factors. It is currently a very popular therapy in dermatology; however, few studies objectively evaluate its efficacy. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal microinjection of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in the treatment of glabella rejuvenation. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 60 patients from the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico: “Hermanos Ameijeiras”, in the period between March 1, 2017 and March 31, 2020. The treatment was applied monthly. for 1 year. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 60 women with an average age of 45 ± 4.3 years were treated. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P = 0.012), in the Photo numeric Scale for evaluating the severity of glabella wrinkles (P = 0.031) and in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (P = 0.012). The adverse events found were pain, inflammation and ecchymosis. The degree of satisfaction reported by the patients was good (25.0%) and very good (75.0%) (P = 0.027). Conclusions: The autologous platelet concentrate proved to be effective and safe in reducing the signs of skin aging in glabella, associated with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

It is currently a versatile therapy in dermatology; however, few studies objectively evaluate its efficacy. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal microinjection of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in the treatment of crow's feet rejuvenation. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 60 patients from the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico: “Hermanos Ameijeiras”, in the period between March 1, 2017 and March 31, 2020. The treatment was applied monthly. for 1 year. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 60 women with an average age of 45 ± 4.3 years were treated. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P = 0.0022), in the Photonumeric Scale to assess the severity of crow's feet (P = 0.0111) and in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. (P = 0.0033). The adverse events found were pain, inflammation and ecchymosis. The degree of satisfaction reported by the patients was good (16.6%) and very good (83.3%) (P = 0.0021). Conclusions: The autologous platelet concentrate proved to be effective and safe in reducing the signs of cutaneous aging of crow's feet, associated with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Introduction: The rejuvenation of the perioral region has a certain degree of difficulty. The search for painless and minimally invasive alternatives is a challenge in the field of aesthetic medicine. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal microinjection of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in the treatment of perioral skin aging signs. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 60 patients from the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico: “Hermanos Ameijeiras”, in the period between March 1, 2017 and March 31, 2020. The treatment was applied monthly. For 1 year. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 60 women with an average age of 45 ± 4.3 years were treated. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P = 0.028), in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (P
