Abstract (original English)

Background In recent years, minimally invasive and non-invasive rejuvenation methods have been welcomed. PRP has been used widely for skin rejuvenation, but there are few studies on PRP for lip rejuvenation. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the preliminary effects of PRP for lip rejuvenation. Methods Between October 2018 and April 2023, 15 participants with lip aging (1 male, 14 females; range 27-58 years) were treated with PRP. The follow-up time was 3 to 24months. After 3 to 6 times treatments, beauty seekers and experienced physicians jointly evaluated effectiveness of treatment. The assessment included improvements in the colour, wrinkles, and skin texture of the lips before and after treatment. Results According to the beauty seekers and Surgeons 'evaluation, the aging characteristics of the lips of the 15 beauty seekers have been improved to varying degrees. The most obvious improvement was that the color of the lips which became more vivid. There was no swelling, bruising, scar hyperplasia and other complications. A participant was evaluated using the VISIA skin detector. The patient's lip color and discoloration improved after treatment. Of the 15 participants treated. 3 participants experienced mild pain or discomfort during the injection process. There was no swelling, bruising, scar hyperplasia and other complications. Conclusion The results o
