Medical Training AIHair Restoration Fundamentals
You'll be able to evaluate patterns of hair loss, explain regenerative treatment options to patients, and plan a protocol suited to their presentation.
What this track covers
This track covers the biology of the hair growth cycle and follicle miniaturization, the pathophysiology behind androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, and how regenerative approaches such as PRP, exosomes, and stem cell-based techniques are used in practice. You'll also work through scalp anatomy and classification systems used to stage hair loss and set patient expectations.
What you will practice
- Differentiate androgenetic alopecia from telogen effluvium and other causes of hair loss on history and exam
- Stage male pattern loss using the Norwood-Hamilton classification and female pattern loss using the Ludwig scale
- Map relevant scalp anatomy and vascular/nerve landmarks before planning injections
- Compare mechanisms of action across PRP, exosomes, and stem cell-based regenerative approaches
- Counsel a patient on realistic expectations based on their classification and candidacy
Simulator scenario
A patient in their 30s presents with gradual thinning at the vertex and temples, and the clinician must take a focused history, stage the pattern, and discuss treatment options.
Board question topics
- Hair growth cycle phases and follicle biology
- Norwood-Hamilton and Ludwig classification systems
- Differentiating causes of hair loss
- Mechanisms of action of regenerative scalp treatments
