The course covers diagnosis and treatment of androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness), telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, PCOS-related hair loss, menopausal hair loss, and general hair thinning and shedding.

PDO threads stimulate hair restoration through collagen induction, neovascularization, and localized growth factor release when implanted in scalp tissue. The threads create a controlled micro-inflammatory response that increases blood supply to hair follicles and encourages dormant follicles to transition back into the active growth phase.

ACell MatriStem is a regenerative technology used in conjunction with PRP to enhance hair restoration outcomes. It provides an extracellular matrix scaffold that supports tissue remodeling and follicular regeneration when combined with platelet-rich plasma injection protocols.

This course provides 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, jointly accredited through AKH Inc. and Empire Medical Training. Participants also receive access to the Empire Live Mentor program with bi-weekly Zoom support sessions after the course.

The course is designed for Medical Doctors (MDs), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs), Dentists (DMDs, DDS), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and Registered Nurses (RNs). Participants must have an active medical license, professional liability insurance for aesthetic procedures, and must complete pre-course online modules.

The medical hair restoration market exceeds $3.5 billion annually. Treatment values range from $1,000 to $3,500 per patient, with multi-session protocols generating recurring revenue. Hair restoration addresses a large, underserved patient population that is highly motivated and willing to invest in ongoing treatment.
