The use of Blood Concentrates is becoming more and more popular in Medical Aesthetics. Patients like the idea of using their own cells instead of a synthetic alternative in their quest for a younger and fresher look.
The Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix(PRFM) technique uses the latest generation of Smart Blood Concentrates to generate a complex Fibrin Matrix rich in Platelets, Leukocytes, and Mesenchymal stem cells. For 10-12 days this results in the constant release of Growth factors and interleukins which accelerate tissue healing and regenerating processes.
PRFM is effective in most cases; no guarantees can be made that a specific patient will benefit from this procedure. Additionally, the nature of cosmetic procedure may require a patient to return for numerous visits in order to achieve the desired results or to determine whether PRFM may not be completely effective at treating the particular condition. The healing process takes time and the final result won’t be readily visible for many months.
Possible Risks and Side Effects Associated with PRFM:
- DISCOMFORT: Discomfort may be experienced during blood draw where there is a slight pinch to insert the needle for the blood collection as well as during the procedure if PRFM is injected into the site. Repeat injections may be necessary.
- BRUISING, SWELLING, INFECTION: With any minimally invasive procedure, bruising of the treated area may occur. Additionally, there may be swelling noted. Finally, skin infection is rare, but always a possibility with any injection or incision into the skin.
- SCARRING: Scar at the entry point is extremely rare but must always be considered a possibility when entering the skin. Delayed wound healing and/or scarring may occur.
- CONTRAINDICATIONS: Smokers may have less response to this treatment as toxins in smoke block the response of the Stem Cells. Cell death or Fibrosis may occur.
