- Abstract
Aim: The study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation in patients with involutional-dystrophic skin changes. Materials and Methods: The study was performed in the clinical department of the Ukrainian Research Institute of Medical Rehabilitation and Balneology, Odesa Regional Clinical Medical Center, and the Kherson Regional Clinical Hospital in 2016-2020. 287 women of middle age (average age 46.47±1.97 years) with signs of functional changes in the skin were involved in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group (n = 187) received routine cosmetic treatment. Patients of the main group (n = 100) were injected intradermally and subcutaneously with platelet-enriched plasma. Assessment of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation was performed before the first procedure and in 3 and 6 months after its completion. Statistical processing was performed using software Statistica 13.0 (TIBCO, USA). Results: After 3 months of follow-up after PRP-therapy demonstrated an increase in the thickness of the epidermis by 16.7%, the level of hydration increased by 26.9%, the level of TEV by 29.5%, an increase in the elastic properties of the skin by 31.8%, and an increase in the microcirculatory network by 23.1% compared to baseline before the procedure of PRP therapy (p = 0.05). Conclusions: The proposed method can be used as a stand-alone complex conservative therapeutic method of treatment. The combination of activation massage and regenerative stimulation by the introduction of PRP should be carried out simultaneously during treatment throughout the course.
