Abstract

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are an emerging nonsurgical modality in facial rejuvenation. They are purported to modulate wound healing through the release of growth factors. They may be used as a standalone procedure to improve skin rhytids and color or they may improve the results of other procedures, such as micro needling or fat grafting. This chapter describes PRP for lower eyelid and facial rejuvenation.
