Platelet-rich plasma plus hyaluronic acid improves skin rejuvenation
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with hyaluronic acid (HA) improves skin firmness and elasticity, according to a research letter published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Dr Barbara Hersant and colleagues from the Henri Mondor Hospital in Paris, conducted a prospective study to examine the clinical benefit of combining PRP and HA effectors. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, before injection, and at one, three, and six months after the last injection session. Thirty-one patients were recruited and included in the trial.
They observed significant improvement at six months versus baseline in the validated subjective scale. Significant improvement was also seen in biophysical measurements for the net elasticity parameter.
