PRP and PRFM Injections
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) injections are advanced, natural treatments that use your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate and restore the skin. PRP involves isolating the platelets from your blood, which are rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. PRFM takes PRP a step further by creating a fibrin matrix, which stabilizes the platelets and enhances their regenerative effects. Together, these treatments offer a powerful solution for addressing fine lines, volume loss, scarring, and overall skin texture and tone.
How Do PRP and PRFM Injections Work?
The process begins with a small blood draw, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma. For PRFM, an additional step creates a fibrin matrix, which extends the release of growth factors and improves tissue regeneration. Once prepared, the PRP or PRFM is injected into targeted areas, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. These natural proteins help improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and restore a youthful glow. PRP and PRFM can also be used for hair restoration and other medical applications, depending on individual needs.
Benefits of PRP and PRFM Injections:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
- Natural and Safe: Uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
- Versatile Applications: Effective for facial rejuvenation, under-eye hollows, hair restoration, and scar reduction.
- Minimally Invasive: Quick treatment with little to no downtime.
- Long-Lasting Results: Promotes ongoing skin improvement for months after treatment.
What Are PRP and PRFM Injections Good For?

- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Volume loss in the cheeks and other areas
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Hair thinning or early hair loss
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for PRP and PRFM Injections?
PRP and PRFM injections are suitable for most individuals looking for a natural way to rejuvenate their skin or improve hair health. These treatments are especially effective for those with early signs of aging, mild to moderate volume loss, or scars. However, individuals with certain blood disorders, active infections, or pregnancy should consult with their provider to determine if this treatment is appropriate.
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure typically begins with a blood draw, followed by preparation of the PRP or PRFM. The injections themselves are quick, with most sessions lasting 30-60 minutes. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases, with visible improvements appearing over several weeks. Depending on the treatment area and individual goals, 2-3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care
To maximize the benefits of PRP or PRFM injections:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen daily.
- Stay hydrated to support the skin’s healing process.
- Refrain from using harsh skincare products for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
- Avoid strenuous activities or excessive heat (e.g., saunas) for the first 24 hours.
