Benefits of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) in skin photodamage: clinical response and histological assessment

This 2015 study evaluated the effects of intradermal injections of autologous plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) on facial skin photodamage in 10 healthy volunteers. Each participant received three consecutive PRGF treatments. Histological analysis revealed a significant increase in the thickness of the epidermis and papillary dermis (p < 0.001),
