This color-illustrated reference for clinicians introduces all aspects of platelet-rich fibrin injection (PRF), a minimally invasive procedure used in facial esthetics and hair regeneration. The book offers chapters on facial anatomy and skin biology, photography in facial esthetics, consultation with the facial esthetic patient and hair loss patient, use of platelet-rich fibrin in facial esthetics and hair regeneration, biology of microneedling, injection techniques, laser treatment, and skin care products effects on healing from procedures. The last chapter looks ahead to future developments. The book contains color clinical photos, anatomical illustrations, and charts. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
Facial esthetics has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. As the field continues to evolve and patients demand more and more of practitioners, it is clear that both the beginner as well as the advanced practitioner seek convenient, safe, and effective therapies, and this book provides just that. Written in collaboration with international experts from various fields of medicine, including basic scientists, clinician-scientists, experts in laser therapy and photography, as well as plastic surgeons and hair restorative surgeons, this book collectively offers a comprehensive approach to using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in facial esthetics. PRF has been used for decades in regenerative medicine, and slowly it has made its way into the medical esthetic arena, often used in combination with other leading therapies to support minimally invasive esthetic procedures. This book therefore starts at the beginning, first exploring the biology and anatomy of the skin and hair before turning to a discussion of photographic record-keeping and patient consultation. Then follow chapters on the biology of platelet concentrates and microneedling, skin and hair regeneration, lasers, and the use of PRF in plastic surgery. The final chapter looks to the future and considers what else could be possible. If you perform any facial esthetic procedures in your office or want to learn how, this book is a must.380 illustrations Contents: Facial Anatomy, Biology, and Aging Photography in Facial Esthetics Consultation for Facial Esthetic Patient Consultation for Hair Loss Patient PRF in Facial Esthetics Microneedling Injection Techniques with PRF Hair Regeneration with PRF Lasers in Facial Esthetics Future Trends in Esthetic Medicine
