Abstract Background Many therapeutic options are currently available for facial skin rejuvenation, but little evidence exists about the efficacy of combining such procedures. Objectives To assess and investigate the synergic effect of HA and a-PRP injections on facial skin rejuvenation. Methods For this randomized controlled prospective study, 93 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized into three intervention groups to undergo a series of three treatments sessions with either a-PRP, HA or Cellular Matrix-BCT-HA (PRP-HA) injected on facial cheeks. Results A total of 93 patients were included. Treatment with Cellular Matrix BCT-HA led to a very significant improvement in the overall facial appearance compared to groups treated with a-PRP and HA alone (p<0.0001). Participants treated with Cellular Matrix showed a 20%, 24% and 17% increase in FACE-Q score at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment, respectively. For the HA group, the improvement of FACE-Q score was 12%, 11% and 6% at 1, 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively, while the a-PRP group showed a 9% improvement in FACE-Q score at 1 month and 11% and 8% improvement at 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively.Biophysical measurements showed significantly improved skin elasticity for the group Cellular BCT-HA compared to a-PRP and HA alone. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions Combining a-PRP and HA seems to be a promising treatment for facial rejuvenation with a very significant improvement in facial appearance and skin elasticity compared to a-PRP or HA alone.

Abstract Background Lipofilling has become popular as a treatment to improve aging related skin characteristics (eg, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, pores, or rosacea). Different additives such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stromal vascular fraction (SVF) have been added to lipofilling to increase the therapeutic effect of adipose derived stromal cells (ASCs). Objectives In this study, we hypothesized that mechanical isolated SVF augments the therapeutic effect of PRP supplemented lipofilling to improve facial skin quality. Methods This prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized trial was conducted between 2016 and 2019. In total, 28 female subjects were enrolled with 25 completing the follow-up. All patients received PRP supplemented lipofilling with either mechanical isolated SVF or saline. SVF was isolated by means of the fractionation of adipose tissue (FAT) procedure (tissue-SVF). Results were evaluated by changes in skin elasticity and transepidermal water loss, changes in skin aging related features, ie, superficial spots, wrinkles, skin texture, pores, vascularity, and pigmentation as well as patient satisfaction (FACE-Q), recovery, and number of complications up to 1 year postoperative. Results The addition of tSVF to PRP supplemented lipofilling did not improve skin elasticity, transepidermal water loss nor skin aging related features. No improvement in patient satisfaction with overall facial appearance nor facial skin quality was seen when tSVF was added to PRP supplemented lipofilling. Conclusions PRP supplemented lipofilling with tSVF compared to PRP supplemented lipofilling alone does not improve facial skin quality nor patient satisfaction in a healthy population. PRP supplemented lipofilling with tSVF can be considered a safe procedure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the complex effects of the hot and cold procedures, practiced in modern Spa & Wellness, on skin elasticity, as that indicator is an integral factor defining the aesthetic vision of the skin. Material and Methods: The present study tracked 60 women aged 35 to 65 years. The methods included an aesthetic skin rejuvenation program that contained a complex of 12 Spa and Wellness rituals conducted in a period of one month, three times per week. Each treatment was а temperature contrast procedure through a Parafango body thermo-application and a face cryo-gel application. The facial skin condition was assessed by an A-ONE apparatus - an automatic skin diagnostic analyzer. Results: A significant improvement in the skin elasticity in the three studied age groups was observed after the procedures. This indicator increased 3.75 units (9.93%) in the 35-44 age group, 3.5 units (11.36%) in the 45-54 age-group and 1.80 units (8.22 %) in the observed individuals from 55-65 age-group. At the end of a treatment, the increase in all three age groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). Skin elasticity assessment was significantly lower for all three age-groups before the procedures, compared to the established standards. After the applied procedures, the skin elasticity was approaching the established standard (the first age group exceeded the standard, the second approached the standard and the third was slightly below the standard). Conclusion: The study reveals that the complex effects of hot and cold procedures result in improved skin elasticity.

AbstractThe study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of local injection of autologous platelet rich plasma (A-PRP) as a treatment for women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In a prospective intervention study, twenty consecutive women suffering from SUI were treated with A-PRP injection at anterior vaginal wall where mid-urethra locates. Self-reported questionnaires were used to measure pre-treatment, 1 month and 6 months post-treatment symptom severity. Secondary outcomes of sexual function and treatment effect sorted by age were analyzed with valid statistical methods. A-PRP is effective in relieving SUI symptoms at both 1 month and 6 months post-treatment without significant adverse reactions reported. It seems to have a trend that treatment success rate with cured and improved symptoms was slightly higher in the younger group, although it did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.07). No significant changes in sexual function before and after the treatment were reported by the patients. This pilot study is the first to report A-PRP treatment effect for SUI in women. The result suggested that A-PRP is a considerable treatment option for mild to moderate SUI cases. It also opens up further research opportunities for A-PRP’s clinical applications.
