Lasers, Microneedling, and Platelet-Rich Plasma for Skin Rejuvenation and Repair.

Skin resurfacing for the purpose of rejuvenation and repair continues to evolve with the development of noninvasive or minimally invasive surgical substitutes. Advances in laser therapy, microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma have reinvigorated research in wound repair and regenerative science. An overall positive clinical response toward the use of platelet-rich plasma as an adjuvant to fractional photothermolysis and percutaneous collagen induction is observed. Its effect on post-treatment adverse symptoms, erythema, edema, crusting, and clinical outcomes in rejuvenation are summarized in this article. The lack of identifiable complications and convenience of treatment provides a positive outlook for future use and investigations.
