What is PRFM?

The platelet-rich fibrin matrix is created on the day of your treatment. A small amount of blood is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP. After the platelet-rich plasma is separated, calcium chloride is added, creating the PRFM. The calcium chloride transforms the PRP into a soft gel, essentially creating a scaffolding that allows the growth factors in the PRFM to remain in the treatment area for longer.

What are the benefits of PRFM?

PRFM boosts the effects of PRP by holding the growth factors present in the PRFM in place in the treatment area. The product can produce enhanced healing and regeneration, with the PRFM remaining active for up to a week instead of being absorbed by the body in a day. PRFM produces improved results with PRP treatments. Some of the benefits include:

  • Aids in the revitalization of your skin when used in skin rejuvenation treatments
  • Helps to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles
  • Can be used to treat hair loss
  • Can be used to speed healing after a surgical enhancement
  • Enhances the results of laser treatments for skin rejuvenation

The PRFM treatment

The procedure will depend on the area you want to restore. The basics of the process are as follows:

  • Drawing the blood sample and placing it in the centrifuge for separation
  • Applying a numbing agent to the treatment area
  • Creating the platelet-rich fibrin matrix
  • Injecting the PRFM into strategic points in the treatment area
  • You will be given instructions to follow before your treatment and post-treatment care instructions. These instructions may include avoiding blood-thinners and alcohol before and directly after treatment and other instructions to help you achieve optimal results.

What does PRFM treat?

PRFM has the same versatility as PRP, with heightened effectiveness. PRFM treats a range of conditions, including:

  • Restores skin firmness and quality with a natural gel rather than a synthetic filler
  • Smoothing lines and wrinkles
  • Enhances skin quality
  • An effective hair loss treatment to trigger healthy hair growth
  • Treats dark under eye circles
  • A natural dermal filler, triggering cell regeneration

Am I a candidate for PRFM?

If you are considering skin rejuvenation treatments or hair loss therapy, then you might be a candidate for PRFM. Schedule a consultation at Beck Aesthetic Surgery to see if PRFM is right for you. The PRFM is created from your own blood, so the treatments carry little risk. PRFM makes it possible to smooth your skin without a natural substance.

PRP vs. PRFM –What’s the Difference?

PRFM is a more advanced version of PRP, enhancing the benefits and improving results. PRFM is created using a slower centrifuge, which better preserves the cells and growth factors and creates a “scaffolding.” 

This scaffolding is called a fibrin matrix. It holds the platelets in the place where they are injected, allowing the age-defying growth factors to remain in the tissues for seven days or more.

Are there any side effects or downtime with PRFM?

There is no downtime or significant restrictions after PRFM treatments. You can return to your usual routine and activities, including gently showering and shampooing your hair. Wait for one day to resume hair growth topical medications.

Side effects may include minor swelling, tenderness or redness at the injection sites. These effects will fade quickly.

How Much Does PRFM Cost?

PRFM treatment at Beck Aesthetic Surgery starts at $1,000. The total cost depends on the treatment area, the number of sessions recommended, and whether PRFM is performed as a standalone therapy or combined with other rejuvenation procedures such as laser treatments or hair restoration services. During your consultation, Dr. Joel Beck will evaluate your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan with clear pricing based on your goals and the condition being addressed.

When will I see results?

Results take time to develop, and multiple treatments are often required to achieve full results. You can expect to see visible results developing in the weeks following your treatment, which increases with each subsequent treatment. Your treatment schedule is based on the condition of your skin or hair, and what Dr. Beck believes can be achieved with this groundbreaking regenerative treatment. If you are planning a skin rejuvenation with laser treatments, the addition of PRFM can enhance your results, while speeding healing.

How is PRFM different from traditional hair restoration treatments?

PRFM is a regenerative, non-surgical hair restoration treatment that works with your body’s natural healing processes. Unlike medications or surgical hair transplants, PRFM focuses on stimulating existing hair follicles to improve thickness, density, and overall scalp health.

How many PRFM treatments will I need for hair restoration?

Most patients benefit from a series of PRFM treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions over time. Your treatment plan will be customized based on the extent of hair thinning and your long-term goals.

Is PRFM hair restoration painful?

Discomfort during PRFM hair restoration is typically minimal. A numbing agent is applied before treatment to help keep you comfortable, and most patients tolerate the injections well. You may experience slight pressure or sensitivity during the procedure, but it is generally brief.

Can PRFM regrow hair in completely bald areas?

PRFM is most effective in areas where hair follicles are still active but weakened. In areas where follicles are no longer functioning, results may be limited. During your consultation, Dr. Beck will evaluate your hair loss pattern and determine whether PRFM is the right option for you.

Will my hair look thicker immediately after treatment?

Some patients notice temporary fullness immediately after treatment due to mild swelling at the injection sites, but true improvements develop gradually over time. As the growth factors stimulate the follicles, hair thickness, density, and overall quality become more noticeable.

Can PRFM be combined with other hair restoration treatments?

Yes. PRFM is often combined with other hair restoration treatments, such as hair transplant surgery or topical therapies, to help enhance overall results. Combining treatments can support both short-term improvement and long-term hair health.

Is PRFM safe for both men and women?

Yes. PRFM is a versatile hair restoration treatment suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss. Because it uses your body’s own biological material, it is generally well-tolerated by a wide range of patients.

How long do PRFM hair restoration results last?

PRFM hair restoration results can be long-lasting with proper maintenance. Because hair loss is often progressive, periodic follow-up treatments may be recommended to help maintain and build upon your results over time.

What should I avoid after PRFM treatment?

After PRFM treatment, patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and certain hair products for a short period. Following your post-treatment instructions carefully can help support optimal healing and results.

How do I know if PRFM is right for my hair loss?

If you are experiencing thinning, shedding, or reduced hair density and want a natural, non-surgical treatment option, PRFM may be worth exploring. A consultation with Dr. Beck allows you to evaluate your scalp health, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
