Abstract: Innovative therapies, especially those based on regenerative medicine approaches, have received increasing attention in dermatology due to their potential to optimize tissue repair and regeneration. Among these strategies, platelet-rich fibrin (RPF), a widely investigated second-generation platelet concentrate, stands out. This study aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the use of RPF in facial rejuvenation. This is an integrative review. The search used keyword combinations adapted for each database search using the Boolean operators "and/or." The following descriptors were used to locate primary studies: "Platelet-Rich Fibrin," "Face," "Rejuvenation," "Skin Aging," and "Dentistry," and were subsequently applied to the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) databases. Analysis of the selected studies shows that PRF therapies demonstrate consistent positive effects on facial rejuvenation, although the magnitude and durability of results vary depending on the protocol and the population studied. In randomized clinical trials, objective improvements in skin quality, elasticity, texture, and wrinkle reduction were observed, with some studies indicating superior performance of PRF and others highlighting lasting benefits after 12 weeks or more of follow-up. In uncontrolled applications, PRF showed the potential to promote significant skin rejuvenation. Overall, the prevalence of positive responses to treatment was high among participants, regardless of gender, with a tendency toward better outcomes in protocols that used PRF or its variations. Thus, PRF demonstrated significant efficacy in improving facial aesthetics and mitigating signs of aging, in addition to exhibiting significant potential in wound healing and skin regeneration.
