RESUMO
Abstract Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are promising therapeutic agents in facial rejuvenation since they are a great source of cytokines, growth factors and other biologically active substances. Obtained from the patient's blood, they have the advantages of reducing immunological reactions, making the procedure safer, well tolerated, with minimal adverse effects and lower cost. Currently, they are used for facial rejuvenation both in combination with microneedling and in mesotherapy techniques, as well as to treat facial acne scars, melasma and wounds after laser ablative treatments. This review summarizes current knowledge on the use of APCs, ranging from basic concepts related to their composition and mechanisms of action to up-to-date information on their clinical efficacy. Methodology MEDLINE (PubMed) was searched from inception through 2021 for English language publications on APCs for facial rejuvenation. Results A total of 100 files were found. Based on the available literature, APCs for skin rejuvenation are safe and well tolerated. The most studied product is the first-generation material, platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Conclusions The results are in general favorable, but the quality of the studies is low. The second and third generation products, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), respectively, are easier to be obtained and, at least in vitro , seem to induce greater collagen production than PRP, especially under lower relative centrifugation forces, but to date only a few clinical trials evaluating these products exist. More high-quality trials with appropriate follow-up are necessary to provide adequate evidence that may help to improve the treatment regimens with APCs. Many aspects should be considered when designing clinical trials to evaluate APCs, such as the patients' characteristics that best predict a favorable response, the optimal number of sessions and the interval between them, the characteristics of the studies and the development of better instruments to evaluate skin aging.

RESUMO
Photoelectric and ultrasonic technology rapid development has brought more choices for facial rejuvenation, but its prosperous clinical application forms a sharp contrast with its weak theoretical based research. Moreover, there is still no consensus on how to standardize the short-term and long-term effects of skin rejuvenation for different energy sources. This paper summarizes the application and progress of photoelectric and ultrasonic technology in facial rejuvenation in recent years, with emphasis on its characteristics and combination with other non-surgical treatments. Combining a variety of non-surgical treatments to maximize efficacy and balance the related risks is the direction of future development.

RESUMO
Facial rejuvenation surgeries are important part of plastic surgeries that specializing in improve the aging manifestation of facial skin, fascia, fat and so on. It rejuvenate the aging tissue by changing the soft tissue volume, reset the drooped tissue or rebuild the muscular aponeurotic system. Rhytidectomy is one of the most representative and complicated in the facial rejuvenation surgeries. Since the early 20th century, rhytidectomy has experienced four vital technological updating, including skin resection, SMAS rhytidectomy, composite tissue flap rhytidectomy and multi-vector face lift. The development of rhytidectomy is contributed to the development of facial anatomy application, which is great treasure of all the plastic surgeons.
RESUMO
Facial aging is caused by several aspects involving skin, its deep soft tissue (fat, muscles, fascia ligaments, etc), and bones. The skin presents deepen wrinkles, darker, drying, and roughness. Volume loss and sag caused by gravity can be seen in deep soft tissue. And selective absorption can be seen in bones. At present, to combat facial aging caused by different causes, we have adopted comprehensive treatment methods such as facial rhytidectomy, embedded wire ascension, autogenous fat graft, hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin injection, and optoelectronic techniques, etc.
