Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) in Aesthetic Dermatology: The Next Generation of Skin Rejuvenation
In the world of aesthetic dermatology, regenerative treatments are taking center stage, offering natural and long-lasting results. One of the most exciting advancements is Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)—an evolution of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy that provides superior skin rejuvenation with enhanced benefits.
At Steel City Dermatology, we are always at the forefront of innovative skin treatments, and PRFM is one of our favorite solutions for patients seeking natural, youthful rejuvenation without the risks of synthetic fillers or invasive procedures.
What is PRFM?
PRFM is a next-generation PRP treatment that utilizes your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and skin regeneration. The key difference between PRP and PRFM lies in the processing:
• PRFM is prepared using a specialized process that removes inflammatory white blood cells while preserving a high concentration of platelets.
• It forms a fibrin matrix, which allows for a longer-lasting release of growth factors, leading to more sustained tissue rejuvenation.
• The gel-like consistency of PRFM makes it ideal for precise application, whether for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, or under-eye concerns.
Aesthetic Uses of PRFM
PRFM is an incredibly versatile treatment with multiple applications in aesthetic dermatology. Some of its most popular uses include:
1. Under-Eye Rejuvenation (Dark Circles & Hollows)
The delicate under-eye area is prone to volume loss, crepiness, and dark circles. PRFM helps:
Improve skin texture and thickness
Stimulate collagen production for long-term improvement
Reduce dark circles caused by poor circulation
Unlike traditional PRP, PRFM stays in place longer, allowing for a slow release of growth factors that optimize collagen remodeling and skin renewal.
2. Facial Rejuvenation (Natural Skin Tightening & Volume Boosting)
PRFM can be injected into the face to improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin elasticity and firmness
Overall skin tone and texture
Since PRFM is natural (derived from your own blood) there are minimal side effects and rarely issues with allergic reactions or unnatural results.
3. Hair Restoration (Thicker, Healthier Hair Growth)
For patients experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss, PRFM injections into the scalp can:
Stimulate hair follicle regeneration
Improve hair thickness and density
Increase blood flow to the scalp, enhancing hair health
The extended release of growth factors in PRFM means better, longer-lasting results compared to standard PRP hair treatments.
What to Expect During a PRFM Treatment
The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires little to no downtime:
Blood Draw – A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
Centrifugation – The blood is processed in a specialized centrifuge to separate platelets and create the PRFM.
Injection/Application – The PRFM is injected or microneedled into the targeted areas.
Most patients notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancements over several months as collagen production increases.
Why Choose PRFM Over PRP?
While PRP has been a game-changer in regenerative medicine, PRFM offers superior benefits:
Longer-Lasting Growth Factor Release
More Stability & Volume Support
Reduced Risk of Inflammation
