The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous platelet rich plasma in the treatment of crow’s feet wrinkles. In a study conducted for 6 months duration, 20 participants were treated with 2 sessions of PRP monthly once. Patients received 1 ml of PRP to each side of crow’s feet and infra orbital area. Study was evaluated by comparing pre and post treatment photographs, subjective satisfaction score, objective clinical assessment and side effects. A definitive improvement was found in most of the patients. Patient satisfaction score showed grade 3 improvement in 5%, grade 2 in 40%, grade 1 in 50% and no improvement in 5%. Objective clinical assessment showed grade 3 improvement in 5%, grade 2 in 60%, grade 1 in 35%. Good results were observed in objective clinical assessment (p value <0.001) as well as patient satisfaction scoring without much side effects. The present study concludes that PRP therapy is cost effective and safe in treatment of crow’s feet wrinkles.
