What is PRP?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Extracted from the patient’s blood sample, PRP is a versatile aesthetic tool that can aid in skin rejuvenation, hair regeneration, and healing optimization after surgery or injury. PRP contains powerful growth factors that work to repair and heal the skin, stimulating the renewal of collagen, a hydrating protein.

What is PRFM?

PRFM in Redondo Beach works in similar ways to PRP. However, PRFM is a more advanced compound that is specifically engineered for skincare. The “fibrin” in platelet-rich fibrin matrix refers to the growth factors the body uses when it heals cuts and injuries. The body sometimes has difficulty sending the appropriate healing compounds to delicate areas such as the under-eye region or scalp, necessitating the need for a cosmetic intervention with PRFM. Overall, PRFM is among the safest rejuvenation options available, as it only uses materials derived from the patient’s own body. 

What concerns can be addressed with PRFM?

  • Dark under-eye circles
  • Hollow-looking facial regions
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Poor skin tone or texture
  • Depleted, deflated lips
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Hair loss
  • Crepe-like skin
  • Stretch marks
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scarring
  • Photodamage
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Volume loss

What are the benefits?

Provides complete rejuvenation

PRFM boosts the production of collagen and elastin, smoothing away the signs of aging, firming the skin, and eradicating blemishes and irregularities.

All-natural treatment

PRFM is derived from your blood, so no synthetic or foreign compounds are used during your sessions.

Safe treatment

PRP and PRFM have been used all over the globe successfully for years. PRP is widely used in sports medicine to combat injuries and has gained popularity in the cosmetic industry for its safety record.

Ideal for hard-to-reach areas

PRFM in Manhattan Beach is perfect for treating delicate areas such as beneath the eyes. It is often the go-to solution when other treatment modalities like laser therapy, IPL, or microneedling are not appropriate.

Long-lasting results

Results with PRP and PRFM can last 1-2 years on average.

Who is an ideal candidate for treatment with PRFM?

PRFM is an excellent regenerative option for patients struggling with signs of aging or hair loss. Those with sensitive skin will benefit from PRFM treatments, even if they do not react well to fillers with synthetic ingredients. As a product derived from the patient’s blood, PRFM comes with little risk of allergic reaction or negative side effects. Ideal candidates are healthy individuals without platelet diseases, blood disorders, or anemia.

What can I expect during my session?

PRFM in Redondo Beach can be applied either topically or via injection. It can also be used in combination with microneedling to enhance results. Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to complete. Some patients can achieve their cosmetic goals with just one session. However, most will need additional treatments for comprehensive improvement in their skin’s tone and texture.

Is there any downtime after PRP/PRFM treatment?

Because PRP and PRFM are blood products, patients do not usually experience any side effects that would prevent them from resuming their normal activities right away. Minor swelling, redness, or itching may occur, but these symptoms fade within 48 hours at most. Mild peeling may occur as well in the first few days, which is evidence of the damaged skin layer being discarded. Drink plenty of liquids and avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. Also, wait a few days before applying makeup and other cosmetic products.
