Summary

This study will be a prospective study of patients who undergo platelet-rich therapy (PRT) for facial rejuvenation at NYU Langone Medical Center. PRT has been increasingly used for wound healing, fat grafting, hemostasis as well as facial enhancement. PRT involves injection of patient's own platelets and fibrin, and has evolved as a less invasive technique for facial rejuvenation compared to more traditional techniques. Through the use of pre and post treatment photos, in addition to the FACE-Q Questionnaire and a clinician assessment, it is our hope that we will confirm the rejuvenating capabilities of PRT.

Conditions

  • Facial Rejuvenation

Interventions

OTHER

Platelet Rich Therapy (PRT)

Platelet Rich Therapy (PRT) involves injection of patient's own platelets and fibrin.Topical anesthetic will be applied to the face for a period of fifteen minutes prior to the injection. For PRP preparation, 8 cc of blood will be collected from each patient just before each procedure. Approximately 0.3-0.4 cc of PRP will be injected into each standardized injection point in a superficial manner. The injections points are 6 points on each side of the face along the inferior border of cheek and mid-cheek (12 total). The PRP injection will be followed by 10-15 minutes of icing.
