Eligible studies investigated EV therapies for facial rejuvenation outcomes. Risk of bias and methodological quality were assessed using tools appropriate to the study design. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE.

Most studies reported improvement in at least one skin quality outcome, including wrinkle severity, pigmentation, hydration, elasticity, or overall appearance. Comparative studies generally favored EV-treated areas. No serious adverse events were reported. Risk of bias was moderate to critical for most effectiveness outcomes.
