A Pilot Study on the Use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Facial and Hand Skin Rejuvenation

"Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be isolated from the blood collected from each subject at each treatment time point.~Face: Using a 30 gage needle, about four points of PRP or saline will be injected into the malar area; about six points will be injected into the mandibular area; and seven points will be injected into the forehead (0.2 mL per point) with a total volume of approximately 3.5 mL. PRP and saline application will be followed by microneedling.~Hands: Using a 30 gage needle about 1 cc of PRP or saline will be injected into the dorsal area of the hands (0.2mL per point) at five points. No microneedling will be performed on the hands."
