Platelet-Rich Plasma & Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRP/PRF)
Overview:
Practitioners in all different medical specialties and disciplines are starting to become more acquainted with the emerging specialty of Regenerative Medicine and the potential it holds to treat a range of medical conditions.
AMA’s Platelet-Rich Plasma course discusses the multiple medical applications for Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin.
For students working in the Aesthetics industry, our focus is on aesthetic uses for skin rejuvenation and alopecia treatment. For students working in Musculoskeletal medicine, such as Podiatrists and Physiotherapists, we can tailor the course to their specialization and demonstrate how to treat a range of functional issues such as tendinopathies and osteoarthritis.
The practical workshop also gives students a practical refresher in venepuncture and blood collection, as this is an essential part of performing PRP/PRF treatments.
