FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS PRFM?
PRFM stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix. It is a natural substance that is derived from your own blood, which contains high concentrations of platelets and growth factors. When injected into the scalp, PRFM can stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness.
HOW DOES PRFM TREAT HAIR LOSS?
PRFM contains growth factors that promote hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. The injection process involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate the PRFM, and injecting it into the scalp in areas of hair loss. The growth factors in PRFM then work to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness.
IS PRFM HAIR LOSS TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Patients may feel a mild discomfort during the injection process, but it is generally well-tolerated. Numbing cream can be applied to the scalp to minimize any discomfort.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
The number of treatments required may vary depending on the patient's individual needs and the extent of their hair loss. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about a month apart are recommended to achieve optimal results.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Results may vary, but patients may start to see improvement in hair growth and thickness within a few weeks after the first treatment. The full effect may take up to 3-6 months to become noticeable.
IS PRFM HAIR LOSS TREATMENT SAFE?
PRFM is a natural substance derived from your own blood, so it is generally considered safe with minimal risk of side effects or allergic reactions. As with any medical treatment, it is important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your provider before undergoing treatment.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PRFM HAIR LOSS TREATMENT?
PRFM hair loss treatment may be a good option for individuals who have mild to moderate hair loss and who prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment. It may also be an option for individuals who are not candidates for hair transplant surgery. It is important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your provider to determine if PRFM hair loss treatment is right for you.
