⸺ PRP & PRF
PRP and PRF Course
Platelet-Rich Plasma training — useful in your field, with hands-on patient procedures. Research on both therapies is ongoing.
⸺ Know the difference
PRP vs PRF — what's the difference?
Both are derived from your patient’s own blood, but they behave differently — knowing when to use each is a key skill this course builds.
PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP is processed by centrifuging a blood sample to concentrate platelets. The plasma layer is separated and injected — releasing growth factors that may support cell regeneration, collagen production and tissue repair.
Commonly used for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration and wound healing.
PRF — Platelet-Rich Fibrin
Platelet-Rich Fibrin
PRF is a second-generation platelet concentrate — processed without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over time.
Some providers use PRF in aesthetic procedures. Results vary from patient to patient.

⸺ COURSE OVERVIEW
Platelet-rich plasma training — a skill you can add to your practice
is used for face rejuvenation, non-surgical hair rejuvenation and hair restoration. Platelet-rich plasma training, known as PRP for short, is now extremely popular for face rejuvenation, non-surgical hair rejuvenation, lip filler as well as hair restoration. Research studies continue to be published on both therapies, presenting continuing improvements to treatments.
Plasma can be used for skin, muscle tissue turnover, a patient’s skin disorders or wound-healing purposes. PRP is made from the patient’s own blood. Like any injection-based procedure, it carries risks, and this course covers them. The course also shows attendees how to recognize and manage complications.
The hands-on portion of the course will include working with blood to process both PRP and PRF. That portion teaches attendees at the collection of Platelet and Red blood-rich PRP to ensure PRP is being processed and used correctly, with step-by-step learning PRP and skin combination techniques.
