Abstract:
Two monozygotic twins (Fitzpatrick skin type II 56-year-old women) with significant photoaging and mild to moderate global fine lines based on the modified Griffiths 10-point scale were enrolled in the study. The past medical etymology and laboratory evaluation were unremarkable. Each subject followed a standardized skin care regimen with topical platelet renewosomesTM (human platelet extract [HPE]) daily for a 12-week duration.1-4 In order to evaluate aesthetic outcomes/changes subjectively, three blinded board-certified plastic surgeons (Yael Halaas, K. Kay Durairaj, and Michael Somenek) compared photographs between baseline and 12-week follow-up (Figure 1). This evaluation was completed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and the modified Griffiths 10-point scale.5,6.
