The Power of PDGF – Aesthetic Clinic Integration

Are you an injector ready to explore regenerative tools that boost both results and revenue? 

This course is built for licensed aesthetic providers—novice or advanced—who want to confidently integrate Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) into their treatment offerings. We’ll cover the science behind PDGF, explore real-world uses (both on-label and off-label), and offer optional hands-on experience for those ready to inject. 

Led by Stefanie Gatica, DNP, a nationally recognized trainer, key opinion leader, and thought leader in the field of aesthetic injectables, this program provides a robust foundation in PDGF administration, encompassing both theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on training
