PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix)

What is PRFM?
 
Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is an advanced regenerative treatment that builds upon the benefits of PRP. PRFM is created by taking a small sample of your blood and processing it to concentrate platelets within a fibrin matrix, which extends the release of growth factors and enhances tissue regeneration. This process results in natural rejuvenation for the skin, improved texture, and a youthful appearance.
 
How Does PRFM Work?
 
PRFM is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The plasma is mixed with a specialized fibrin matrix to create a gel-like consistency. This PRFM solution is then injected into targeted areas, providing a gradual, long-lasting release of growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue repair.
 
What’s the Difference Between PRP and PRFM?
 
While both PRP and PRFM are derived from your own blood and used to promote rejuvenation, they have some key differences:
 
Growth Factor Release: PRP provides an initial burst of growth factors upon injection, while PRFM’s fibrin matrix allows for a slower, sustained release of growth factors over time, enhancing long-term results.
 
Stability: The fibrin matrix in PRFM creates a gel-like consistency, making it more stable and extending the effects of the treatment.
 
Longevity: PRFM’s extended release can provide longer-lasting effects compared to PRP, making it an excellent choice for clients seeking prolonged results.
 
Both treatments are effective, and the choice between PRP and PRFM depends on individual goals and treatment areas.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
 
1. Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine if PRFM is the right treatment for you.
 
2. Preparation: A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to create the PRFM.
 
3. Application: The PRFM is injected into the targeted areas, with the entire procedure typically taking 30-45 minutes.
 
4. Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive aftercare instructions, such as avoiding makeup, intense sun exposure, and vigorous activity for at least 24 hours.
 
A series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. You’ll notice gradual improvements, with collagen production and tissue repair continuing over several months.
