In San Jose, CA

PRMF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) Introduction

Your skin naturally repairs itself, delivering essential nutrients exactly where they’re needed while keeping your cells active. But what if you could enhance this natural healing process to rejuvenate your skin, restore lost volume, and even stimulate hair growth? That’s the power of platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRMF), which combines the beneficial effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into an organized fibrin matrix.

At CA Aesthetics in Los Gatos, Dr. Eric Li and his team offer PRMF treatments to SF Bay Area patients. PRMF is a natural and minimally invasive method of rejuvenating and preserving one’s appearance. By tapping into one’s body’s own regenerative power, PRMF enables long-lasting improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity, as well as hair restoration, helping one look and feel refreshed.

What is PRMF?

PRMF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) is a process of transforming PRP into PRFM that involves adding CaCl₂, which, followed by centrifugation, triggers the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. The fibrin then cross-links, forming a matrix that encapsulates viable platelets, allowing for sustained release of growth factors. This treatment is used for skin and hair rejuvenation and offers a natural, non-surgical solution to enhance and rejuvenate one’s appearance.

  • For skin rejuvenation, PRMF contains growth factors which stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. The treatment can be injected into areas of the face that have lost volume or experienced aging, such as the cheeks or under-eye areas.
  • For hair rejuvenation, PRMF can stimulate the scalp, promoting hair follicle health and encouraging hair growth. The PRMF can also be used to improve the scalp’s environment, further enhancing hair regeneration.

What Are the Benefits of PRMF?

PRMF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matric) offers several benefits for both skin and hair rejuvenation, such as:

  • It enhances skin texture, tone, and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for a smoother, more youthful complexion.
  • PRMF stimulates collagen production, improving overall skin health and vitality over time.
  • For hair rejuvenation, PRMF encourages hair follicle regeneration, helping to stimulate hair growth and reduce thinning, especially in the early stages of hair loss.
  • PRMF is a safe, natural treatment that uses your own blood with minimal risk of allergic reactions or complications.
  • Since the procedure is minimally invasive, there’s little downtime.
