Using Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix Injections for treating hair thinning and loss

At Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center of Annapolis, Maryland, we are dedicated to helping patients find solutions for the face and body that give them confidence and improved self-esteem in their appearance. When hair thinning and loss become an issue for men and women, it can impact how they feel about themselves. If you’re experiencing hair thinning, consider discussing platelet-rich fibrin matrix injections with one of our board-certified dermatologists. This non-surgical treatment may be a suitable option for you, but it’s best to consult with the doctors to determine if you’re an ideal candidate.

What is platelet-rich fibrin matrix?

Platelet-rich fibrin matrix, or PRFM, is a unique and reliable method of treating hair loss and thinning. This non-surgical procedure involves extracting the patient’s own platelets from a blood sample taken in our office and injecting them into areas of the scalp that need treatment. The platelets help to promote regrowth in the areas where it is needed most using the body’s growth proteins. The result is a non-surgical solution that restores hair thickness in both men and women suffering from acute or chronic hair loss.

How long does it take to see results from platelet-rich fibrin matrix treatment for hair thinning and loss?

The process of restoring hair through PRFM injections does take time, so it is important that patients are aware of the time needed to see full improvement. Most of our patients will be able to see changes visually after around six months post-treatment with continued improvement as they continue to have injections performed every six to 12 months afterward. PRFM injections can be combined with other hair loss treatments for faster results, such as prescription creams or oral medications.
