Redness, itching, dryness, peeling, or constant “breakouts”? Sensitivity is not just a skin condition; it is a long-term constitution that requires precise management. As regenerative medicine continues to advance, Dr. Cheng Hui-wen, an attending dermatologist at Anser Medical Clinic, shares that “PLT”—with its highly purified and quantified growth factor formula—has officially become the most critical “skin-stabilizing solution” for sensitive skin treatments.
It can activate the skin’s self-healing power, repair the barrier, reduce chronic inflammation, and enhance the skin base’s tolerance. Most importantly, it has low rejection rates, making it safe for those with sensitive skin or rosacea. When used in combination with light and electric treatments such as Picosure, Fraxel, Thermage, or IPL, patients no longer need to worry about irritation. This achieves a dual improvement in treatment effectiveness and regenerative repair, rebuilding a healthy, glowing, and stable complexion.
What is PLT ? Reparative care for sensitive skin is mainstream
In clinical dermatology, many sensitive skin issues are not due to “insufficient maintenance” but rather a state of chronic inflammation caused by long-term over-stimulation and the inability of repair capabilities to keep up. Therefore, the trend in sensitive skin care is shifting toward reparative medical aesthetics that emphasize stability, regeneration, and tolerance. PLT has emerged as a major focus in sensitive skin care against this background.
PLT extracts high-concentration platelets from one’s own blood and uses patented technology for purification and lyophilization. This process preserves various key growth factors in the platelets to help the skin activate anti-allergy, repair, and renewal mechanisms. Dr. Cheng points out that platelets naturally play a key role in wound healing. When these growth factors are precisely purified and quantified, they can stabilize redness and discomfort while promoting collagen regeneration, increasing skin thickness and tolerance from the root.
Dr. Cheng says: “Dermatologists can usually make skin problems ‘better,’ but making the skin ‘stable’ or ‘tolerant’ is a more advanced challenge. I have used PLT in clinical practice for several years. Whether in early-stage anti-inflammation or subsequent collagen renewal, the skin condition improves overall, significantly reducing the recurrence of sensitivity.”
How to combine PLT with other treatments? The secret weapon for sensitive skin aesthetics
Many people with sensitive skin hesitate to undergo medical aesthetic procedures, fearing post-treatment swelling, hyperpigmentation, or irritation. Dr. Cheng explains that modern sensitive skin treatment is no longer solved by a single tool but requires “combination therapy” based on skin conditions to reduce irritation while stabilizing results.
The greatest advantage of PLT is its action on the dermis for anti-allergy, repair, and renewal. Using a cooking analogy, PLT can be the “main course”—used alone for deep repair and gentle collagen renewal—or a “side dish” in combination with Picosure, Cold Plasma, RF, or Microneedling. By opening skin channels first and then introducing PLT, growth factors help reduce inflammation immediately and shorten recovery time.
For common sensitive skin issues like melasma (a type of chronic dermal inflammation), Dr. Cheng suggests combining Honeycomb Picosure or Microneedle RF with PLT. For rosacea, Cold Plasma or Needle-free Water Glow combined with PLT can achieve anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic goals.
Dermatologist recommendation: Improving sensitivity and delaying aging naturally
From a professional perspective, Dr. Cheng believes PLT’s biggest advantage is that it is autologous, offering high safety with no allergic rejection. It uses Spirit Scientific’s patented technology to ensure each vial contains 1 billion platelets with a growth factor concentration report, making results predictable. Unlike traditional PRP, which requires blood to be drawn for every session, one blood draw for PLT can produce 10–20 vials, providing a more convenient and customized experience for both doctors and patients.
Having visited the Spirit Scientific lab personally, Dr. Cheng emphasizes that she chooses PLT for its safety, effectiveness, and evidence. The lab is certified by Japan’s PMDA, ensuring a trustworthy preparation process. “Choosing PLT allows for the safest, most natural way to improve skin condition and delay aging,” she concludes.
In summary, PLT works from the dermis through three steps: “Anti-allergy, Repair, and Renewal.” This aligns with the 2026 direction for sensitive skin care—moving beyond just avoiding irritation toward using scientific, standardized regenerative medicine to regain a healthy, stable, and beautiful complexion.
