Redefining Medical Hair Restoration Treatments using
PDO Threads and P-Platelet Rich Plasma

Empire Medical Training’s PDO Threads and PRP Combination Course to introduce you to the latest in Medical Hair Science and non-invasive treatments proven to stimulate hair growth.

This specialty course has been designed to give physicians “value-added” options proven superior to other conventional methods for the correction and reversal of hair loss and hair thinning. Though many forms of hair loss have a hereditary component it does not affect the newer forms of prevention and treatment that give correction and reversal of hair loss in both men and women.

Combining Plasma Platelet Rich Plasma (P-PRP) and utilizing PDO Threads is the newest way in treating alopecia conditions while offering additional patient options and solutions for your medical hair restoration therapies.

This proprietary protocol is revolutionary within the aesthetic industry and will allow for more predictable results in a safe, non-invasive manner.

P-PRP and PDO Threads

Hair Loss Restoration Treatments remains the second largest segment within aesthetic procedures performed in the United States for 2018. Over 90 million Americans suffer from unwanted hair loss with over 30% being female. The combination of administering P-PRP and PDO Threads is the latest innovation that combines two different mechanisms of action allowing for additional regrowth of hair in comparison with conventional injection therapies.

Combination treatment options for the various alopecia and endocrine system changes responsible for premature hair loss include not only PDO Threads and P-PRP but other complimentary hair restoration procedures. The training will review all patient options including PFRM, biologics, micro-needling, and post-treatment options that enhance patient care and result. The results are amazing and it reverses hair miniaturization, increases hair retention, and corrects hair loss for many of your patients at whichever age.

The protocols and techniques discussed are proprietaries that require no recovery time, no post-care, or other restrictions so patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

PDO Threads are inserted into the scalp for thinning hair areas which help stimulate hair regrowth by rejuvenating the scalp (upper tissue planes) and distressed hair follicles. Plasma Platelet Rich Plasma (P-PRP) works to recruit additional stem cells for repair and contain a large concentration of growth factors (cytokine proteins) to initiate dormant hair follicles. In addition, the program has been structured to review all of the elements in a step-by-step approach detailing all of the non-surgical treatments used to treat hair shedding and promote new hair growth including:

  • FDA Approved Medications and Medical Devices (i.e. Red-Light Therapies - LLT)
  • Review of different protocols for medical hair loss (i.e. PCOS - BHRT-Menopause)
  • Custom "After-Care" Compounded Pharmaceutical Formulations Therapies
  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and biologics
  • Nutritional Supplements and Nutraceuticals
  • Topical After-Care Formulations for Men and Women
