Revitalize Your Scalp with Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix
As we age, hair thinning and hair loss can become a reality for many of us. But there’s a revolutionary solution rooted in your body’s natural healing process: Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM).
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.
How Does PRFM for Hair Loss Work?
Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is derived from your blood, rich in growth factors that can promote hair growth when injected into the scalp.
- Extraction: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Processing: The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP.
- Injection: The PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp.
Candidates for PRFM Hair Loss Treatment
PRFM for hair loss is best suited for individuals experiencing early stages of hair thinning or loss. However, it’s essential to consult with our specialists at Amazing Skin to determine if PRFM is right for you.
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
