Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) are advanced regenerative therapies that leverage the body’s natural healing mechanisms to improve skin health and stimulate tissue repair. These treatments are often used in facial injection procedures to target fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. This concentrated plasma is injected into targeted areas to promote collagen production and tissue rejuvenation. PRFM takes PRP a step further by adding a controlled amount of calcium chloride, which creates a fibrin matrix. This matrix encases the platelets, enabling a sustained release of growth factors for prolonged benefits.
Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin Matrix (PRFM) are advanced regenerative treatments derived from the patient’s blood. PRP involves isolating platelets and growth factors and injecting them into targeted areas to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and rejuvenation. PRFM takes PRP a step further by adding calcium chloride, which creates a fibrin matrix.
Good candidates for PRP and PRFM are individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or enhance hair density in areas affected by thinning or hair loss. These treatments suit those seeking natural, non-invasive rejuvenation using their body’s resources. They are also beneficial for individuals addressing acne scars, dark under-eye circles, or skin laxity. A consultation with a specialist will determine suitability based on your specific goals, medical history, and overall health.
Most patients begin to notice improvements within the first few weeks of treatment as peptides work to suppress appetite and improve metabolic function. Over several months, significant weight loss and improvements in body composition become more evident. The longevity may vary based on the peptide used, your adherence to dietary and exercise recommendations, and individual metabolic factors. Regular monitoring ensures that progress aligns with your goals.
Results from PRP and PRFM treatments vary depending on the treatment area and individual response. For skin treatments, texture, tone, and elasticity improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks. Hair restoration patients may begin to see reduced shedding and new hair growth within 2-3 months. After 3-6 months, full results typically appear as collagen production and tissue repair progress. Since these treatments rely on natural regeneration, patience is key to achieving optimal results.
The longevity of PRP and PRFM results depends on factors such as the treatment area, individual metabolism, and lifestyle habits. Skin rejuvenation results typically last six months to a year, while hair restoration effects may be maintained for a similar duration. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to sustain results. Adhering to a good skincare routine and following post-treatment instructions can also enhance the longevity of the outcomes.
PRP and PRFM are safe because they use the patient’s blood, lowering the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. Mild and temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Consulting with an experienced provider ensures proper technique and minimizes risks, providing a safe and effective treatment experience.
PRP and PRFM can be performed with other aesthetic treatments to enhance results. They are often paired with microneedling for skin rejuvenation to amplify collagen production and improve skin texture. Laser therapy or chemical peels can complement these treatments by addressing additional skin concerns like pigmentation or uneven tone.
