What Is Selphyl PRP?

Selphyl is a system for preparing platelet-rich fibrin matrix from your own blood. The process concentrates platelets in plasma, then uses calcium chloride to activate the formation of a fibrin scaffold.
Platelets contain growth factors involved in the body’s healing processes. The fibrin matrix supports their gradual release. This preparation method is the defining difference between Selphyl PRFM and liquid PRP.

What Can Selphyl PRFM Help Address?

Dr. Kulback may consider Selphyl PRFM for selected concerns involving:

  • Fine lines and crepey-looking under-eye skin.
  • Facial skin texture.
  • Neck and décolletage skin quality.
  • Aging skin on the backs of the hands.

Treatment suitability varies by area and concern. Under-eye darkness, puffiness and hollowing have different causes, so an examination is essential. Significant volume loss or loose skin may respond better to another approach. Research on cosmetic PRFM applications is still developing.

How Selphyl Differs From Other Treatments

Liquid PRP

Platelet-rich plasma is prepared without the same fibrin-matrix formation step used in Selphyl.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

These use a manufactured gel to add volume or definition. They work differently and may be more appropriate when structural support is the main goal.

Dr. Kulback explains the options and recommends an approach based on your anatomy and priorities.

What Happens During Your Appointment?

Your appointment begins with a review of your goals, medical history and medications. A small blood sample is collected and processed using the Selphyl system.

The treatment area is cleansed, and numbing may be used for comfort. Dr. Kulback administers the preparation through carefully placed injections, then provides aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan.

Tell her about bleeding or platelet disorders, active infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding and any medications or supplements you take. Do not stop prescribed medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician.

Results, Recovery and Safety

When improvement occurs, it develops gradually rather than providing the immediate contouring associated with a volumizing filler. The number of sessions, response and duration vary.

Temporary swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness may occur. Under-eye swelling can be particularly noticeable. Injection-related risks include infection, unevenness and, rarely, serious vascular complications. Using your own blood does not eliminate treatment risks.

FAQ

Selphyl is a system that prepares platelet-rich fibrin matrix, or PRFM, from your own blood. It concentrates platelets in plasma and adds an activation step that forms a fibrin scaffold.

Both start with your blood. Selphyl forms a fibrin matrix around the platelets, while traditional PRP is generally used as a liquid preparation. This difference does not guarantee better cosmetic results.

Dr. Kulback may consider it for selected under-eye skin-quality concerns. Dark circles, puffiness and hollowing require different approaches, and significant volume loss may need another treatment.

No. Selphyl PRFM is a blood-derived preparation. Hyaluronic acid fillers use a manufactured gel for volume and contouring. Selphyl should not be expected to provide equivalent structural volume.

The blood draw and injections can cause brief pinching, pressure or discomfort. Numbing may be used to improve comfort.

Swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness can affect your appearance and activities temporarily. Follow Dr. Kulback’s aftercare instructions and allow recovery time before important events.

Your plan depends on the treatment area, your goals and your response. Improvement and duration vary. Dr. Kulback assesses your progress before recommending additional sessions.
