PRP Facial and Hair Restoration
Clinicians will be able to explain PRP biology and plan microneedling and scalp injection approaches for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.
What this track covers
This track covers platelet-rich plasma preparation and its use in two common aesthetic applications: microneedling for facial skin regeneration and scalp injection for hair restoration. It addresses the underlying regenerative biology, preparation workflow, and how technique choices affect patient selection and expected treatment course.
What you will practice
- Sequencing blood draw, centrifugation, and PRP extraction steps
- Selecting microneedling depth and technique for different facial zones
- Comparing PRP injection versus topical application for scalp treatment
- Identifying patients who are poor candidates for PRP-based procedures
- Recognizing when combined mechanical and biologic approaches are appropriate
Simulator scenario
A patient considering PRP hair restoration presents with a scalp condition and current medication list that require the clinician to assess candidacy before proceeding.
Board question topics
- Platelet biology and growth factor function
- PRP preparation and centrifugation methods
- Microneedling technique and depth selection
- Patient selection and contraindications for PRP procedures
