Medical Hair Loss Therapies Training for Physicians

The course covers PDO thread scalp insertion, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, ACell MatriStem technology, platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PFRM), low-level laser therapy (LLT), red-light therapies, microneedling, and pharmaceutical adjuncts including minoxidil (oral and topical), finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, cyproterone acetate, vitamins, nutraceuticals, and compounded formulations.

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

No. 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 and professional liability insurance for aesthetic procedures.

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.

Most patients see measurable improvement in hair density and thickness within 3-6 months of starting a multi-modality treatment program. Results vary by hair loss severity, etiology, and treatment compliance. The course teaches standardized photography and trichometric imaging to document progress objectively.

The course includes pre-course virtual training access, a comprehensive color training manual, hands-on practice with live models at a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio, medicines and supplies, tutorial videos featuring physician trainers, Empire Live Mentor program access, and post-course resources including patient intake forms.

Hair loss treatment integrates naturally into primary care, dermatology, aesthetic, and specialty practices. The diagnostic workup uses familiar laboratory and assessment tools, and PRP procedures are performed in standard clinical settings. Cash-pay hair restoration services create premium revenue without insurance complexity.

PRP treatment series generate $3,000-$6,000+ per patient, with ongoing pharmacological management adding recurring revenue. The long-term nature of hair loss treatment ensures excellent patient retention. Most physicians see positive ROI within the first month.

Hair loss affects over 80 million Americans, yet systematic medical hair restoration is offered by only a fraction of practices. Patient awareness of PRP and medical hair therapies continues to grow rapidly, creating significant unmet demand in most markets.

While physicians have the legal authority to perform many procedures, hands-on training under expert supervision dramatically accelerates the learning curve, reduces complication risk, and provides the clinical confidence needed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes from day one. Empire's structured curriculum, live patient practice, and CME accreditation also satisfy credentialing and malpractice insurance requirements that self-study alone cannot fulfill.

Adding procedural services creates new revenue streams that can significantly increase your practice income — aesthetic services alone can add $200K-$500K+ in annual revenue. Beyond finances, offering in-demand procedures improves patient retention, attracts new patient demographics, and positions your practice competitively in a market where patients increasingly expect comprehensive service offerings from their healthcare providers.

Yes. All Empire Medical Training courses for physicians are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. These credits satisfy continuing medical education requirements for state license renewal and specialty board Maintenance of Certification (MOC) programs.
