What to look for in a Platelet Rich Plasma training course

Recently at Cosmetic Courses we have seen an influx of Platelet Rich Plasma training course enquiries. As with anyPlatelet Rich Plasma Training Course with Cosmetic Courses (1) course, it’s important to do your research before booking on especially when it comes to the products the course is using. The world of PRP is vast and should not be seen as a one size fits all treatment. Multiple courses are needed to cover the different areas such as hair, face, and body along with understanding different client needs and managing expectations.

There are also many PRP machines on the marketing, all using different centrifuge methods. In this blog we are going to discuss what to look for when choosing your Platelet Rich Plasma Training Course and the machines to perform your treatments.

What qualifications do I need to do PRP?

At Cosmetic Courses we only train doctors, dentists, and nurses with valid medical registration in our aesthetic courses including Platelet Rich Plasma training. Due to the nature of the treatment, our delegates need to have existing experience in taking blood and managing complications caused by trauma to the body.

Our courses are also taught by our expert faculty with extensive knowledge within their own medical fields, applying it to their aesthetic experience to lead example in safe and ethical practices within aesthetics.

What is PRP training?

Platelet Rich Plasma training is learning the fundamentals and practical elements of this sought-after treatment. PRP involves taking the patients own blood and spinning it within a centrifuge system to separate the good plasma. It is then injected back into the skin causing a slight trauma which urges the bodies own collagen supply to come forward and aid repair, working with the good plasma.

Developed over 40 years ago and used by dental and maxillofacial surgeons for its wound healing abilities, it made the move into aesthetics helping with skin rejuvenation, scarring, pigmentation, hair loss and ageing.

Who can administer PRP treatments?

Due to insurance policies PRP treatments can be administered by medically registered professionals with sufficient training behind them.

Choosing a PRP system

The original PRP machines used a buffy coat system, the same you would see within a laboratory to process blood samples for testing. With continued research and development, it became clear that using this system could cause contamination to PRP with red blood cells.

It later became apparent that by using certain types of tube when producing the PRP could result in some of the good plasma being left behind in the tubes when administering back into the skin, another area needed to be researched and developed further.

Centrifuge speed were monitored next, were they spinning fast enough to evenly split the samples, or were we not seeing the right results from the centrifuge and did it need improving…

Questions to ask when choosing your Platelet Rich Plasma training course:

  • What machines are you going to be trained in, do they have the relevant safety data and CE mark verification?
  • By using this machine how many of the platelets from the blood are delivered?
  • Can you vary the concentration of the machine?
  • Does the machine eliminate any red cell contamination?
  • Is the machine easy to use?
  • What areas will you be covering on your course?
  • Will there be practical experience on live models?
  • What support is available after and before the courses?

Choosing Your Lip Filler Course

There are many different aspects to look out for when booking your lip filler course from trainer experience to aftercare support. In this blog we will highlight some top points to take into mind when embarking on your lip filler training courses.

1. Training Provider Reputation & Experience 

You may of already realised, there are a lot of aesthetic training providers out there! It’s important to do your research and find the best match for you. One way to help you find the perfect fit would be to look at company reviews, see what past delegates have said about their training courses. Check their company social media channels including the trainers mentioned, having a scroll through their socials can show you if they are busy and what their training looks like. Delve in deeper to find out more about who runs the training courses, what is their background and ethos. Looking at accreditations and awards for the company, who are they partnered with and what companies refer them. Also check where they are training you, is it in a clinic setting and what products do they use.

2. Trainers Experience 

It’s important to find out who is going to be taking your course and what their experience is. At Cosmetic Courses we use a handpicked team of medical professionals all chosen by our Medical Director Mr Adrian Richards. Each of our trainers have a vast amount of experience in aesthetics from running their own successful clinics to being key opinion leaders in the industry. You may what to have your lip filler course taught by a medical professional that has a similar background to you or you may want to learn from a trainer who has a different medical field behind them. When you make contact with the training provider take the time to ask about the trainers and which one would suit you the most.

3. Course Layout

To give you a better insight on the day you should check with your training provider on what to expect on the day. What is covered in the theory, will you be looking at complications along with business and marketing advice? Also checking how much practical you will be receiving, will there be enough models to delegates and what techniques will you be covering on the day.

4. Live Models Provided 

At Cosmetic Courses we believe the only way to really understand a treatment is by hands-on learning. We provide live models for each of our courses for delegates to practice what they have learnt under the close supervision and guidance of our expert trainers. By using live models you are experiencing a real patient and practitioner journey, understanding the patients needs and applying your knowledge and skills gained to achieve optimum, holistic results.

5. Aftercare and Support

When looking to book a lip filler course ask your training provider what support they offer after training. Are they on hand to answer any questions after your training course, can they help you if you need a second opinion on a patient.
