What is PRF for hair?

platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM).

PRFM represents a new step in the platelet gel therapeutic concept with simplified processing without anticoagulants.

Unlike other platelet concentrates, PRFM in contrast to PRP, isolates platelets and plasma after the first centrifugation itself. PRFM containing various growth factors has recently been used during follicular unit transplantation (FUT) to increase hair density and stimulate follicular unit growth. PRFM is the extraction of platelets from the patient’s own blood, which is injected back into the patient. Platelet-rich fibrin represents a revolutionary step in the platelet gel therapeutic concept. This technique, unlike the other platelet concentrates, involves only the centrifugation of natural blood without any additives. PRFM was developed by Choukroun et AL in 2001 in France. The success of this technique depends on the speed of collection of the blood and transfer to the centrifuge as no anticoagulant is used. A simplified processing technique without complex handling makes it superior to PRP.

Platelet-rich fibrin matrix represents a revolutionary step in the platelet gel therapeutic concept. This technique is fast and involves minimal in vitro manipulations.
