Learning Outcomes
Treat the Most Common Types of Hair Loss
Understand androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and other conditions — and know which patients are right for PRP.
Perform PRP Hair Restoration With Confidence
Follow a standardized preparation and injection protocol, from blood draw and centrifugation to scalp mapping, injection technique, and post-treatment care.
Incorporate Prescription Treatments
Understand the role of finasteride, minoxidil, and low-dose oral minoxidil. Learn where JAK inhibitors fit for alopecia areata and get a clinical preview of emerging treatments.
Use Microneedling as a Combination Therapy
Learn how to enhance PRP outcomes by pairing it with scalp microneedling — including protocol, technique, and assessment.
Select and Consult Patients Confidently
Identify ideal candidates, manage contraindications, and set accurate expectations for hair restoration results.
Add a High-Margin, Cash-Pay Service
PRP hair restoration commands $400–$1,200 per session with low per-patient overhead after initial equipment investment.
The Problem
Patients with androgenetic alopecia, female-pattern hair loss, or stress-related shedding are sitting in your waiting room right now. They’ve already read about PRP and platelet therapies online. Many have asked their dermatologist. Some have been turned away.
The problem isn’t lack of patient demand — it’s that most physicians don’t have a structured clinical protocol for treating hair loss beyond a referral or a Rogaine recommendation.
This course changes that. The IAPAM PRP Hair Restoration course gives you a complete framework: how to identify and select appropriate patients, how to prepare and administer PRP using a standardized protocol, how to incorporate microneedling for enhanced outcomes, and how to counsel patients on prescription adjuncts.
It’s the kind of training that makes you the physician patients refer their friends to. Self-paced and 100% online. No travel. No time blocked from your schedule. Start the day you enroll.

Do I need prior PRP or aesthetic experience to enroll?
No. The course is designed for licensed providers who are new to hair restoration with PRP. It begins with hair loss types and physiology before moving into procedure.
Does this course include CME credits?
This course does not currently carry CME credits. If you need CME credit for hair restoration training, contact us to ask about upcoming accredited options.

The PRP Aesthetics Certification covers PRP across multiple applications — facial rejuvenation, lip injections, and hair restoration — and includes 1.75 AMA PRA Category 1 CME credits.

12 months of unlimited access from the date of enrollment — including after you complete the course.
What credentials do I need to enroll?
This course is open to MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, RNs, and LPNs. Other healthcare providers may enroll if they can demonstrate legal authority to perform PRP procedures in their state — contact us for details.
