History of Changes
  Purpose

Autologous platelet rich fibrin matrix will release growth factors which could increase the production of dermal proteins or affect the vascularity and status of neighboring tissues. This study is designed to evaluate the histologic and biochemical effect of injection of platelet rich fibrin matrix into the skin.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in dermal and subdermal protein content after treatment with platelet rich fibrin matrix compared to control specimen [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in local skin blood flow after treatment with platelet rich fibrin matrix [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 5

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment
Skin injection with platelet rich fibrin matrix on the inner aspect of the upper arm, with biopsies over a 12 week period.
 Biological: Platelet rich fibrin matrix
Single treatment with platelet rich fibrin matrix
Other Name: Selphyl

Detailed Description:

Subjects will be treated with platelet rich fibrin matrix into the skin of the inner aspect of the upper arm. Injected areas will be monitored clinically and will also undergo biopsies over a 12 week period. Specimen of treated and control areas will undergo histologic and biochemical analysis and comparison.
