Objectives: The aim of the project was to assess the suitability of hydrogel dressings in revitalizing treatments using autologous platelet-rich plasma, in particular to reduce pain during the procedure, to reduce swelling, redness and postprocedural bruising.
Introduction: Hydrogels are defined as systems with at least two components, in which one component is a hydrophilic polymer, insoluble in water due to its chains being linked in a spatial network, whereas the other component is water. Hydrogels accelerate wound healing in various phases, accelerate autolytic wound cleansing, and reduce pain.
Materials / method: Thirty patients undergoing the PRP procedure were enrolled in the study. The patients included in the study were treated routinely, without above-standard procedures. After the procedure, the patients assessed pain during injection according to the NRS scale - separately for the test side, and separately for the control one. Both the researcher and the patient assessed the overall appearance of the skin, redness, swelling, bruising and bruises.
Results: The pain during the procedure was perceived as much less on the test side (p<0.05) according to the NRS scale. In the opinion of the researcher, the appearance of the test side was significantly better than the control one (3.6 vs 2.6, p <0.005). Both redness (2.3 vs 3.4, p <0.05) and edema (2.1 vs 3, p <0.05) were significantly lower.
Conclusion: The application of hydrogel dressings significantly improves comfort and reduces patient pain during mesotherapy using autologous plasma concentrate. In addition, it improves the appearance of the skin after the treatment, reducing edema and redness.
