RAMIREZ GARCIA, Lázara Kenia et al. Cutaneous biostimulation using platelet-rich plasma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.1. ISSN 0864-2176.

The objective of this review was to expand knowledge on skin aging and restorative treatments used in ocular plastic surgery, especially cutaneous biostimulation with platelet-rich plasma, as a novel alternative of periocular rejuvenation. A comprehensive literature search was performed in updated databases that Infomed provides such as Ebsco, Hinari, Pubmed and Google and basic academic texts of cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. The platelet-rich plasma is an effective biological preparation for skin biostimulation, increases the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and provides a brighter skin, improved texture, hydration and elasticity. It really has many advantages and minimal complications, thus contributing to raise the quality of life of patients.

Palabras clave : skin aging; platelet-rich plasma; skin biostimulation.
