Revitalize Your Scalp with Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix
At Amazing Skin Medspa in Allentown, PA, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) therapy, an advanced regenerative treatment designed to stimulate hair growth, strengthen follicles, and improve scalp health naturally. PRFM harnesses the power of your body’s own platelets to promote thicker, healthier hair without surgery or harsh chemicals.
What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)?
PRFM is an enhanced version of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) that delivers a higher concentration of growth factors for longer-lasting rejuvenation. Unlike PRP, PRFM forms a fibrin scaffold, allowing for a slower, sustained release of growth factors, maximizing hair follicle regeneration.
Benefits of PRFM Scalp Therapy
- Stimulates natural hair growth by activating dormant follicles
- Strengthens hair strands and improves overall scalp health
- Reduces hair thinning and shedding
- Enhances blood circulation for nutrient-rich follicle support
- Minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment
- Uses your body’s own platelets for a safe, natural approach
- Longer-lasting effects compared to traditional PRP therapy
MICRONEEDLING FAQ
When PRP is combined with microneedling, it penetrates your skin through the microchannels created from the microneedles. The PRP supercharges the microneedling benefits, enhancing collagen production and skin healing.
No. We apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment so you don’t feel any pain during the treatment.
About one hour. If numbing cream is required then that takes about 30 minutes to apply. After that, the actual microneedling takes about 30 minutes.
Microneedling downtime is only one to three days. After the treatment, there will be some mild redness. You will notice some results immediately, and you will see your skin begin to improve more significantly over the course of two to three weeks. The full results can be seen up to six months after treatment as collagen production continues.
Each patient is different and will require a consultation before determining how many treatments you should have. While some patients notice an improvement after just one session, most patients require at least 3 sessions.
PRFM FAQ
PRFM stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix. PRFM offers longer lasting effects compared to PRP by producing a higher cumulative release of growth factors.
3-4 treatments are recommended spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results
Treatment takes about 30 minutes to perform with these steps:
- During a short office visit (20 minutes), a small amount of a patient’s own blood is drawn into a vacuum collection tube containing a cell separator gel.
- The tube is then placed into a centrifuge and spun for six minutes to separate the blood into a supernatant plasma/platelet suspension.
- The red and white blood cells are located below the cell separator gel.
- The platelets and plasma are then transferred in a closed system to a second vacuum tube containing a small amount of calcium chloride solution.
- Fibrin polymerization begins and the PRP remains liquid for approximately 20 minutes before forming PRFM.
- The patient’s own PRFM is ready for use as deemed appropriate by the clinical use requirements.
You will start to notice results 4-6 weeks after your first treatment. Results continue to improve 3-6 months after treatments are completed. Patience is key!
- Avoid washing hair for 24 hours
- Avoid sun/heat exposure for at least 2 days
- Avoid vigorous exercise
