PRP/PRFM is a regenerative substance created from the patient’s blood. In this innovative treatment, your provider draws a small amount of blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate platelets. They then inject these platelets, rich in growth factors, back into the scalp to stimulate hair growth or apply to the skin with microneedling for rejuvenating benefits. The entire PRP/PRFM therapy session takes approximately one hour.
