what is PRFM ?
PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) is an advanced regenerative aesthetic treatment that uses your body’s own healing components to improve skin quality, restore volume, and stimulate collagen production. PRFM contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and fibrin, which creates a scaffold that releases regenerative signals gradually over time.
Unlike traditional PRP, PRFM:
- Does not require anticoagulants
- Provides a longer-lasting release of growth factors
- Produces more sustained collagen stimulation
What areas can you treat with PRFM?
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
- Face (overall skin quality and collagen stimulation)
- Neck and décolletage
- Hands
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and crepey skin
- Scalp for hair restoration
what is the process of a prfm treatment?
- A small amount of blood is drawn during your appointment
- The blood is processed using specialized medical-grade centrifugation
- Platelets and fibrin are concentrated into a smooth, injectable matrix or a serum that can be applied topically
- PRFM is precisely injected into targeted areas to stimulate regeneration
Benefits of PRFM Treatment
Uses your body’s own regenerative properties.
Improves skin quality, texture, and elasticity.
Stimulates natural collagen production.
No foreign substances.
Gradual, natural-looking results.
cost of PRFM Treatment
PRFM Treatment: $700/session
Package of 3 Treatments: $1950
Package of 6 Treatments: $3650
PRFM for Hair Restoration: $800/session or $2150 for 3 sessions
PRFM Post-procedure Enhancement: $250/session
what to expect AFTER Treatment
Discomfort: minimal
Downtime: mild bruising + swelling for 2-4 days
Results: starts working at 4 weeks, peaks at 3-6 months, lasts 12-24 months
PRFM works gradually as regenerative processes occur. Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal outcomes.
HOW TO PREPARE…
PRE-APPOINTMENT
Avoid booking an appointment if you are pregnant.
Stay well hydrated for several days before treatment to optimize blood draw. quality.
Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol and pain killers such as Advil, Tylenol, and Aspirin 2 days before your treatment.
DURING APPOINTMENT
Your provider will assess your skin quality, anatomy, and goals to determine if PRFM is the most appropriate treatment.
PRFM is injected using fine needles or cannula. Appointments typically take 45–60 minutes, including blood processing.
POST-APPOINTMENT
Avoid touching or applying pressure to treated areas unless instructed
Avoid exercise and other strenuous activity for 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, sun exposure) for 24–48 hours

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) is an advanced regenerative treatment derived from your own blood. It contains a high concentration of platelets, fibrin, and growth factors that support tissue regeneration, collagen production, and skin rejuvenation. Because it is autologous, PRFM is a natural treatment option.
PRFM works by releasing growth factors over time that stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance tissue healing. The fibrin matrix enables a slower, more sustained release of growth factors than traditional PRP, resulting in longer-lasting regenerative effects.
Good candidates are adults looking to improve skin quality, fine lines, under-eye hollowing, acne scarring, or overall skin rejuvenation using a natural approach. PRFM is ideal for patients who prefer treatments using their own biologic material and have realistic expectations. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.
Results from PRFM develop gradually as collagen production increases. Improvements can last 6 to 12 months or longer, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments for optimal results.
PRFM is an advanced form of platelet therapy with longer-lasting regenerative effects than traditional PRP.
PRFM provides subtle volume and structural improvement through collagen stimulation rather than immediate filling.
Yes, PRFM is considered very safe when performed by a trained medical professional. Because it is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur at the injection or treatment sites and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
The treatment begins with a small blood draw, which is processed to create the PRFM. The PRFM is then injected or applied to targeted areas to stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration. The procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, and results develop gradually over the following weeks.
Discomfort is typically minimal. A topical numbing agent may be applied before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or brief pinching during injections.
Stay well hydrated for several days before treatment to optimize the quality of the blood draw. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E) unless prescribed by your physician. Arrive with a clean face and follow all provided pre-treatment instructions.
After PRFM treatment, you should avoid:
- Touching or applying pressure to treated areas unless instructed
- Strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, sun exposure) for 24–48 hours
- Alcohol for 24 hours
Yes! PRFM treatments are most effective when completed in a timely manner. If you are completing multiple sessions, please schedule your sessions 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
PRFM treatment costs depend on multiple factors, including your aesthetic goals, areas treated, and the number of sessions required to achieve the desired result. Most PRFM treatments are completed in packages of 3. You can speak with your provider to determine how many sessions you will need.
