Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Training Courses in Liverpool

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is currently one of the most talked about procedures in the aesthetic industry and is a fantastic addition to any aesthetic clinic. Also known as the 'Vampire Facelift', it has shot up in popularity recently as people realise the high quality facial care it offers.

Our PRP training course will prepare you with everything you need to know about the clinical procedure, and will of course be delivered by a team of experienced professionals.

How does PRP work?

A small volume of the patient's blood is extracted using standard venepuncture techniques. This is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma. The enriched platelets and plasma are then injected into the patient, with the whole treatment taking approximately 45 minutes.

What can PRP be used to treat?

One of the great things about PRP is the sheer number of factors it can help, with just a simple injection of platelets and plasma. Some of these include:

• Wrinkle/scar treatment - Injections in areas of skin with damage or wear, such as scars or wrinkles, can drastically help the appearance in a short amount of time, especially on older skin due to how the process works.
• Osteoarthritis - This condition is the most common type of arthritis in the UK, and is sometimes treated with PRP injections into the affected area. Studies actually found that PRP was more effective than hyaluronic acid injections for treating this issue (Raeissadat et al, 2015).
• Hair loss - In 2015, a study was published in the Stem Cells Traditional Magazine which reported that men receiving PRP treatment grew hair at a faster rate and with more density than those that did not receive the treatment.

Who can take PRP training?

The PRP training course is open to all doctors, dentists, nurses and midwives. You will need to be trained in venepuncture (taking blood). If you are not currently trained in venepuncture then please contact us and we can assist you in locating an NHS Trust who can train you.
