PRFM stands for “platelet-rich fibrin matrix.” PRFM is PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, taken to the next level. The platelet-rich fibrin matrix suspends the PRP in the treatment area for longer, allowing more of the platelets and growth factors time to trigger regeneration in the surrounding tissues.
View galleryThe 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.
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:
PRFM has the same versatility as PRP, with heightened effectiveness. PRFM treats a range of conditions, including:
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.
The procedure will depend on the area you want to restore. The basics of the process are as follows:
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.
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.
