What Are PRP and PRFM Treatments?
PRP and PRFM are regenerative aesthetic treatments that use components from your own blood to support natural skin rejuvenation, collagen production, and tissue repair. These treatments are popular options for Roseville, CA patients who want a more natural approach to improving skin quality, fine lines, under-eye hollows, hair thinning, acne scarring, and overall facial rejuvenation.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, while PRFM stands for platelet-rich fibrin matrix. Both are created from a simple blood draw. The blood is processed to separate and concentrate platelets, growth factors, and other healing components that can then be injected or applied topically during treatments such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, or RF microneedling.
Because PRP and PRFM come from your own body, they are considered natural regenerative treatments. Rather than simply filling lines or adding artificial volume, these treatments work by encouraging your body’s own healing and collagen-building response.
At Gemini Health & Wellness in Roseville, CA, PRP and PRFM may be used alone or combined with other aesthetic treatments to improve skin quality, texture, tone, firmness, and overall rejuvenation.
What Is PRP?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. These platelets play an important role in healing and tissue repair. When placed into the skin or scalp, PRP can help stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, support skin renewal, and encourage healthier-looking tissue over time.
PRP is commonly used for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin texture and tone
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Mild skin laxity
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Under-eye rejuvenation
- Hair thinning and hair restoration support
- Post-laser or post-microneedling healing
- Overall facial rejuvenation
PRP is often paired with microneedling, RF microneedling, or laser treatments to enhance skin rejuvenation and support the healing process.
What Is PRFM?
PRFM, or platelet-rich fibrin matrix, is an advanced form of platelet therapy. Like PRP, it is created from your own blood, but PRFM contains a fibrin matrix that helps hold platelets and growth factors in place for a longer period of time.
This slower release of growth factors may provide a more sustained regenerative effect compared to traditional PRP. PRFM is commonly used in delicate areas where natural rejuvenation and subtle tissue support are desired.
PRFM may be used to improve:
- Under-eye hollowness
- Crepey under-eye skin
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Facial skin thinning
- Skin texture and firmness
- Mild volume depletion
- Acne scars
- Neck and décolleté skin quality
- Overall collagen support
- Hair thinning and scalp rejuvenation
PRFM is especially popular for patients who want a natural alternative or complement to dermal fillers, particularly in delicate areas like the under-eyes.
PRP vs. PRFM: What Is the Difference?
PRP and PRFM are both regenerative treatments made from your own blood, but they have some important differences.
PRP is a liquid platelet-rich plasma that releases growth factors more quickly. It is commonly used with microneedling, laser treatments, acne scar treatments, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration.
PRFM contains a fibrin matrix, which helps create a slower and more sustained release of growth factors. It may offer longer-lasting regenerative support and is often preferred for delicate areas such as the under-eyes, face, neck, and areas with crepey skin.
In simple terms, PRP is often used for overall skin rejuvenation and healing support, while PRFM may be selected when the goal is more targeted, longer-lasting collagen stimulation and subtle tissue improvement.
What Can PRP and PRFM Treat?
PRP and PRFM may be used to address a variety of skin and hair concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Under-eye darkness or hollowing
- Crepey skin
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Acne scarring
- Large pores
- Rough skin texture
- Mild skin laxity
- Facial thinning
- Neck and décolleté aging
- Hair thinning
- Post-weight-loss facial changes
- Overall collagen loss
- Slow skin recovery after procedures
These treatments are ideal for patients who want natural-looking improvement and are willing to allow time for the body to gradually rebuild and repair.
PRP and PRFM for Under-Eye Rejuvenation
The under-eye area is one of the most common areas treated with PRFM. As we age, the skin under the eyes can become thinner, darker, more hollow, or crepey. PRFM may help improve skin quality, collagen support, and the appearance of tired-looking eyes.
Unlike traditional filler, PRFM does not simply add volume. Instead, it works by supporting tissue repair and collagen production. This makes it a great option for patients who want a natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation or who may not be ideal candidates for under-eye filler.
PRFM may help improve:
- Crepey under-eye skin
- Fine lines
- Mild hollowness
- Skin thinning
- Tired-looking eyes
- Overall under-eye texture
For some patients, PRFM may be used alone. For others, it may be combined with dermal filler, laser treatments, RF microneedling, or medical-grade skincare for a more complete rejuvenation plan.
PRP and PRFM for Hair Restoration
PRP and PRFM may also be used to support hair restoration in patients experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss. When injected into the scalp, platelet-derived growth factors may help support healthier hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and encourage thicker-looking hair over time.
PRP or PRFM hair restoration may be appropriate for patients with:
- Early hair thinning
- Androgenic hair loss
- Postpartum shedding
- Stress-related shedding
- Thinning around the hairline
- Weak or miniaturized hair follicles
Most patients require a series of treatments for best results. Maintenance treatments may also be recommended depending on the cause and severity of hair thinning.
PRP and PRFM With Microneedling, RF Microneedling, and Laser Treatments
PRP and PRFM can be excellent add-ons to collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling, RF microneedling, and laser resurfacing. These treatments create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process. Adding PRP or PRFM may further support tissue repair, collagen production, and overall skin recovery.
Combination treatments may help improve:
- Acne scars
- Skin texture
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven tone
- Skin firmness
- Post-treatment healing
- Overall glow and radiance
At Gemini Health & Wellness, we may recommend PRP or PRFM as part of a customized treatment plan for patients looking to improve skin quality from the inside out.
When Will I See Results From PRP or PRFM?
Results from PRP and PRFM develop gradually. Some patients notice an early glow or improvement in skin hydration, while deeper changes in collagen, texture, firmness, and tissue quality typically take several weeks to months.
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, especially when treating concerns such as acne scarring, hair thinning, under-eye rejuvenation, or more advanced collagen loss. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve results.
Because PRP and PRFM rely on your body’s natural healing response, results vary from person to person.
Are PRP and PRFM Right for Me?
PRP and PRFM may be great options for patients who want a natural regenerative treatment, prefer to use their own body’s healing components, or want to improve skin quality without relying only on traditional fillers.
These treatments may be ideal if you are concerned with:
- Tired-looking eyes
- Under-eye thinning or crepiness
- Dull skin
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Hair thinning
- Skin texture
- Mild facial aging
- Collagen loss
