The Difference Between PRP and PRFM for Hair Restoration

Despite being a common concern, hair loss is hard to accept and can diminish confidence if left untreated. Fortunately, thin hair, receding hairlines, and bald spots are treatable with Bawa Medical’s advanced hair restoration techniques.

PRP and PRFM are often used to treat hair loss, offering outstanding results through a non-surgical approach. When administered by a highly qualified rejuvenation expert, PRP/PRFM injections can help you regain a full and vibrant head of hair.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma. It is a concentrated mixture of platelets and growth factors that is isolated from the blood. Before treatment, a small amount of blood is extracted from the patient. This blood is processed through an FDA-approved centrifuge to isolate the healing and regenerative components in the blood and then used for treatment.

PRP is applied to the scalp through small injections placed in areas experiencing significant hair loss or thinning. These injections help jump-start a healing response and stimulate hair follicles, spurring increased hair growth and vitality.

PRFM: PRP but Better

PRFM, short for platelet-rich fibrin matrix, is a stronger form of PRP. To create PRFM, highly concentrated platelets are combined with calcium chloride to make a thick gel. The gel helps to hold platelets together and delays cellular breakdown, allowing the body to have more time to access the rich healing properties of the mixture. PRFM ensures platelets remain at the hair follicles for as long as possible. Like standard PRP treatments, PRFM is administered by Dr. Bawa herself.
