Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) technology in cosmetic medicine is a relatively new yet effective cutting-edge treatment that uses the plasma in the patient's own blood to treat certain skin conditions, as well as for hair regrowth. A popular, in-demand treatment is PRP microneedling, which consumers have commonly referred to as the ‘Vampire Facial’ following celebrity publicity.

More recently, Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) has emerged as a more advanced version of PRP for skin rejuvenation purposes. It has been touted as superior to PRP with a higher level of healing factors for better clinical results.

In this course, you will learn all about PRP and PRF, and the various methods in which it can be used. You will be familiar with how to prepare PRP and PRF in your practice, and injection techniques to achieve effective results for the skin and scalp while minimising complications.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this workshop, you should be able to:

• Comprehend the principles of wound healing
• Be familiar with uses, indications and protocols for PRP and PRF
• Be familiar with extraction and injection techniques for PRP and PRF
