Selphyl has been mistaken many times as being a “filler”. It is actually not afiller. Selphyl or Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is a process or systemthat makes use of a small amount of blood taken from the patient directly. Thisblood is spun in a centrifuge and platelets are extracted. It is then used asan injection in the patient’s problem area. Thisshould trigger the production of new collagen in that area. On top of that, ithelps in protecting the existing collagen in that part. The results of Selphylare not entirely permanent as they could last anywhere from 12 to 15 months. Selphyl is safe and effective in reducing acne scarsand wrinkles. It is natural since it is taken from the patient’s own blood. This also reduces the chances ofdeveloping allergic reactions and side effects. However, the full results mayonly be observable in, give or take, 3 weeks since relies on natural collagenproduction. It can also be combined with traditional dermal fillers. Once it isused in combination with fillers, it is then known as the “VampireFacelift”. If Selphyl is used together withmicroneedling, it then becomes “Vampire Facial”.
This is a big misconception. Selphyl is not an injectable filler. It is a system in which a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, the platelet-rich plasma is extracted and then prepared for injection under the skin. The platelet-rich fibrin matrix creates collagenesis, and stimulates the protection of your own body's collagen which, in turn, adds new collagen deposits in the areas injected, such as under the eyes. It is not permanent but lasts between 12-15 months. It is not recommended to fill the lips as its efficacy in that area has not been demonstrated. One of the great advantages is that it is natural and taken from your body's own plasma so there are no allergic reactions. Because the result of treatments can take several weeks to become apparent, there is no reason that it cannot be combined with fillers or Botox for an excellent combination effect.
PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) or Selphyl has beenaround since 2009. It is a safe and effective procedure since it is made fromthe patient's own blood. The blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge. Plateletsare then isolated and used as an injection. The process roughly takes 10 to 20minutes....
Combining PRP (platelet rich plasma) with microneedling (Dermapen3) both resurfaces the skin and maximally stimulates collagen production. In addition, I inject PRP intradermally and subdermally to maximize collagen production and improve skin color, texture, tone, and fine lines and wrinkles.
