Platelet Rich Plasma Injection
How It Works
As soon as SELPHYL - prepared Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is administered, growth factors are released through the formation of a three- dimensional cross-linked fibrin matrix which is essential to the platelet plug as it serves as a binding site for both platelets and growth factors allowing their sustained release. This scaffolding (fibrin matrix) localizes the growth factors increasing their concentration at the desired location and guiding tissue regeneration. Studies have shown that platelet growth factors are released for up to seven days, supporting collagen production and increased vascularization, which results in overall skin improvements.
