Clinical Trial Summary

Skin aging is an irreversible, slow and progressive process. It is influenced mainly by age, but also by external factors such as ultraviolet radiation, smoking, alcohol, among others. It is increasingly common to look for procedures that slow this process by limiting or hiding its effects on the skin and its appearance. Intradermal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a new modality of treatment which has possible beneficial effects on skin rejuvenation. In addition, studies have shown photobiomodulation (PBM) benefits to the skin. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of combined use of intradermal PRP injection on the face and photobiomodulation for facial rejuvenation. To this end, a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial will be conducted with volunteer participants who wish to improve facial aesthetics, attended at the Nove de Julho University specialty medical outpatient clinic in the city of São Paulo. Participants will be divided into three groups: one group will undergo intradermal application of PRP in association with PBM; another group will undergo intradermal application of PRP and placebo light and a third group will receive intradermal application of 0.9% saline solution (placebo) associated with PBM. Only one application of PRP or saline solution will be performed at defined points on the face. PBM sessions will be held immediately after the first application of PRP or saline solution, 3 days after the first application and weekly for the next 3 weeks. The following variables will be studied for further analysis: face moldings analyzed by optical coherence tomography; skin viscoelasticity; histological study of the dermis; evolutionary comparison of photographic images by plastic surgeons (Wrinkle Assessment Scale) and participants' satisfaction level (FACE-Q). All data will be statistically evaluated according to their distribution.
