Plasma, a liquid component of blood rich in platelets, proteins and growth factors, has emerged as a promising tool in aesthetic procedures. The different forms of plasma application, such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Fibrin Rich Plasma (PRF) and Plasma Gel, have been explored for facial rejuvenation and treatment of aesthetic dysfunctions.
PRP, obtained by centrifuging blood to concentrate platelets, has shown positive results in reducing wrinkles, blemishes and sagging skin. Its growth factors stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, promoting tissue regeneration and rejuvenation (Alam et al., 2018; Everts et al., 2019).
PRF, similar to PRP, but with a higher concentration of fibrin, has additional healing and regeneration properties. Studies have shown its effectiveness in improving skin texture, pore reduction and treating dark circles (Hassam et al., 2020; Hu et al., 2021).
Plasma Gel, obtained through controlled heating of the plasma, has a gelatinous consistency that facilitates its application and increases the durability of the results. Research indicates its effectiveness in reducing hyperpigmentation, improving skin texture and smoothing wrinkles (Neinaa et al., 2020; Doghaim et al., 2019).
The different forms of plasma application offer promising alternatives for facial rejuvenation and treatment of aesthetic dysfunctions. However, more studies are needed to establish standardized protocols and to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of these therapies.
