Subjective Self-Assessment After Microneedling Radiofrequency or Platelet-Rich Plasma and Fibrin Treatments and Motivating Factors for Their Use

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Today, aesthetic medicine is becoming increasingly common, with the demand for rejuvenating treatments continuously growing. These procedures are gaining more interest from patients who struggle to accept their aesthetic imperfections. There is a need to understand patients' subjective evaluations of the effects of aesthetic medicine procedures and the factors that motivate them to undergo invasive treatments. Understanding these aspects allows for better tailoring of therapy to patients' needs, increasing their satisfaction and quality of life. Additionally, it enables the identification of psychological and social factors influencing their decisions, supporting a more conscious and responsible approach to aesthetic medicine. <b>Methods</b>: This study included 82 women who had undergone treatments with platelet-rich plasma and fibrin (50%) or microneedling radiofrequency (50%), with an average age of 44.3 years. The research questionnaire consisted of 12 original questions. This study was conducted from January to March 2024. Over 90% of the women had been undergoing treatments for at least several months. <b>Results</b>: Participants reported a significantly improved assessment of their appearance after the procedure, with an average increase of 2.72 points on a scale from 1 to 10 (M = 2.72; SD = 1.66) (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Women from rural areas significantly more often (29.6%) cited appearance-related complexes as a reason for the procedure compared to women from cities (3.6%) and large cities (3.7%) (<i>p</i> = 0.003). Over 80% reported an increase in self-confidence due to the procedures they underwent. <b>Conclusions</b>: The analysis showed a significant difference in the assessment of appearance before and after the procedure; participants rated their appearance more favorably after the procedure. The motivating factors for women to undergo aesthetic medicine procedures include the desire to look younger and more attractive. The marital status of the respondents did not influence motivating factors.
