Struggling with acne scars or looking for a hyperpigmentation remedy? Microneedling with Selphyl® PRFM may be the solution to your skin problems. Skin rejuvenation and other anti-agingprocedures are growing in popularity by the day for their efficacy in preventing and correcting skin damage.
A majority of these anti-aging cosmetic procedures, including microneedling, are minimally invasive, allowing patients to get treatment without interrupting their daily schedule. Microneedling is a fairly new technique in the cosmetic industry and can now be combined with other techniques and treatments for efficient skin rejuvenation.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a patient's own blood platelets to stimulate new cell growth. The Selphyl® System safely and rapidly converts PRP to PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) resulting in highly-concentrated platelets that deliver more effective results. The treatment is used for:
- Improving skin texture and complexion
- Scar revision
- Tissue regeneration
What Is Microneedling with Selphyl® PRFM?
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The pricking creates tiny wounds that cause the body to produce more collagen and elastin to help in healing the skin, revealing a younger-looking and rejuvenated skin layer.
Microneedling with PRFM involves applying platelets on the skin during the microneedling process to improve the efficiency of the treatment.
How Does Microneedling with Selphyl® PRFM Work?
Microneedling with PRFM is a three-step procedure.
- First, blood is drawn from a patient's arm to extract PRP which is converted to PRFM.
- Then the microneedles are run through the skin, creating tiny wounds in the skin's microchannels.
- The extracted platelets are then applied to the skin.
The whole procedure takes about 45 minutes, with very little to no downtime. Before the procedure, your technician will apply numbing cream on the skin to ease the pain. You may experience mild bruising, redness, or swelling which typically wear off within 4-5 days.
Benefits of Microneedling with Selphyl® PRFM
The benefits of using PRFM versus PRP is the higher concentration of the most effective platelets. This platelet-rich fibrin matrix promotes healing days longer than PRP alone.
PRFM is rich in proteins that aid in skin tissue repair and rejuvenation. When applied to the skin after microneedling, PRFM promotes faster healing and improves collagen production. Both treatments have several benefits on their own, but when combined, they provide great results for:
- Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
- Plumping up sagging skin
- Fading acne scars
- Treating hyperpigmentation
You can expect to see results 3-4 weeks after the first treatment. However, for maximum results, 3-6 treatment sessions are required.
