Medical Training AIPRP and PRF Therapies
Build a clear working knowledge of platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin so you can explain the biology, compare preparation methods, and reason through appropriate use for skin, hair, and joint applications.
What this track covers
This track covers the biology behind platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, including growth factor and cytokine release and their role in tissue regeneration. It compares centrifugation and preparation approaches, the practical differences between PRP and PRF, and how indication and tissue target influence preparation choice.
What you will practice
- Explain how centrifugation concentrates platelets and separates blood components
- Compare PRP and PRF in terms of fibrin matrix structure and growth factor release timing
- Identify which growth factors and cytokines are most relevant to skin, hair, and joint applications
- Reason through preparation selection based on the tissue target and treatment goal
- Recognize patient factors that could affect candidacy or preparation quality
Simulator scenario
A patient presents asking about options for thinning hair and wants to understand how a platelet-based approach might fit compared to other options they've read about.
Board question topics
- Platelet biology and growth factor release
- PRP versus PRF preparation differences
- Centrifugation protocol variables
- Indication-based preparation selection
