Skin Rejuvenation: Fillers or PRFM?

Is your skin in need of revitalization? Lots of factors can contribute to making your skin look less than its best. Stress, age, and environment can make the skin on your face appear slightly dull or less toned than you may like. There is a solution that can restore the health and appearance of your skin as well as your confidence—with absolutely no downtime!

Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) treatments are appropriate for anyone who is looking to bring new life to their skin. PRFM works well to smooth the skin and fill in fine lines. It can also help to reduce hyperpigmentation and improve the elasticity and texture of skin by building collagen. PRFM uses your own growth factors, making the treatment 100% organic and virtually risk free.

Benefits:

• Refresh your skin using your own growth factors
  
• 100% organic treatment
  
• No harsh or synthetic chemicals
  
• Quick, in-office procedure
  
• Only requires 1-3 treatments for most patients
  
• Results can be seen in as little as one month
  
• No downtime
  
• Long-lasting results
  

PRFM is not the only way to revitalize the skin. A variety of facial fillers can add volume, boost collagen production, fill in lines and wrinkles, and improve your skin’s texture. Some popular facial fillers include:

• Botox (Botulinum Toxin A) - to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
  
• Juvederm (Hylauronic Acid) - plumps up sunken tear troughs and adds volume to the lower face and lips
  
• Voluma (Hylauronic Acid) - adds volume to the temples and mid-face
  
• Volbella (Hylauronic Acid) - softens periorbital (smoker’s) lines
  
• Vollure (Hylauronic Acid) - adds subtle volume to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial
  

How to determine if PRFM or facial fillers are right for you

Deciding between PRFM treatments or facial filler injections is a point of preference. Facial fillers work more efficiently. Upon receiving the injections, a patient may experience mild swelling and bruising, but that should calm down within several days, with expected results typically being achieved in 2-3 weeks. Results last anywhere from 6 months- 2 years, varying filler to filler.

While PRFM requires anywhere between 1-3 treatments received about a month apart to achieve desired results, the results are permanent. If you have any allergies to the ingredients in traditional facial fillers, PRFM may be a great alternative, as there is zero risk of an allergic reaction.

Regardless of your prefered method to improve the appearance of your skin, it is crucial to find a reputable plastic surgeon who has a complete expertise of all of the available methods and can make the best recommendation for your specific needs.
