What the most sought-after regenerative providers have in common—and what sets their practices apart
Something is shifting in the world of facial esthetics—and it's happening inside dental and medical offices across North America.
Patients are asking different questions now. They're not just looking for quick fixes or off-the-shelf treatments. They want clinicians who understand biology. Who works with the body instead of against it. Who can offer results that are not only visible but also sustainable—backed by science, delivered with precision, and rooted in regenerative principles.
The clinicians meeting that demand? They're not coming from esthetician backgrounds or med-spa chains. Many of them are dentists and doctors who recognized an opportunity and pursued the education to make the most of it.
And increasingly, the ones leading that conversation carry a common credential: they are CARE providers.
CARE — Center of Advanced Rejuvenation and Esthetics — is more than just a brand. It's a clinical standard.
Founded under the leadership of Dr. Richard Miron, DDS, MSc, PhD
Dr. Richard Miron, DDS, MSc, PhD, the world's most published researcher in Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and author of over 200 internationally peer-reviewed scientific publications—CARE Esthetics began as a singular vision: to create a network of clinicians trained to the highest possible standard in regenerative facial medicine.
The flagship CARE Esthetics clinic sits in Jupiter, Florida, at the Three Palms Center—2141 S Alternate A1A, Unit 600 Jupiter, FL 33477. It is not a training mock-up or a demonstration facility. It is a fully operational, patient-facing practice running live cases daily, and it serves as the heartbeat of everything the CARE provider network stands for.

But what does it actually take to get there? What does the education journey look like for a clinician who wants to practice at this level?
The answer lives inside the curriculum of Advanced PRF Education—known as PRFEDU—at www.prfedu.com. Recognized for its comprehensive Dental Continuing Education Courses, PRFEDU offers a three-course progression, with each course building on the last to take clinicians from curious to capable to genuinely expert in regenerative dentistry and facial esthetics.
First: Learn the Biology Behind the Transformation Through Dental Continuing Education Courses
PRF in Facial Esthetics — 3-Day Course
Before anyone can walk confidently into an operatory and treat a facial esthetic patient, they need to understand what they're working with. Not just how PRF is prepared, but why it works, what it does at the cellular level, and how to leverage its properties across a wide range of clinical indications.
That's exactly what the PRF in Facial Esthetics Course is designed to deliver. Held over three full days, it is the comprehensive scientific and clinical foundation upon which everything else is built.
Led by Dr. Richard Miron—the lead editor of Quintessence's 2021 best-selling textbook 'Understanding Platelet Rich Fibrin'—alongside Dr. Catherine Davies, MD, MBA, the main editor of 'Platelet Rich Fibrin in Facial Esthetics,' the course assembles over 15 specialized educators in one room. Nurse Practitioners, RNs, dentists, and physicians—all contributing expertise across injection techniques, laser therapy, micro-needling, and Bio-Filler protocols.
Over three days, attendees move through:
— Day 1: A deep-dive into the science of PRF — growth factors, centrifugation protocols, and clinical indications across regenerative dentistry and facial esthetics. Dr. Miron covers horizontal centrifugation, PRF tube selection, and venipuncture in full detail.
— Day 2: A shift into the clinical and creative—facial anatomy, photography for documentation, marketing the facial esthetic patient through the CARE Esthetics model, and live demonstrations of Bio-Filler preparation, micro-needling, PRF mesotherapy, and hair regeneration protocols.
— Day 3: Entirely hands-on. Seven rotating clinical stations. Live patients. Real procedures. Attendees practice microneedling with PRF, hair regrowth protocols, Bio-Heat and Bio-Filler injections, lip injections, DEKA laser therapy using CO2 and IPL, and BTL body and facial sculpting.
One of the most pivotal concepts taught in this course is the bio-filler—a 100% biological filler created entirely from a patient's own blood that lasts 4 to 6 months, compared to the 2 to 3 weeks of traditional PRF. This single breakthrough has reshaped what is possible for clinicians offering natural facial rejuvenation.
A filler made from the patient's own blood. Lasting 4 to 6 months. No synthetic materials. No foreign substances. Just biology, refined.
The course is approved for CE Credits and is held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina—with upcoming dates including November 19–21, 2026; February 4–6, 2027, in Los Angeles; and November 11-13, 2027 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The May 2026 session sold out entirely — a reflection of the demand for this level of education.

Then: Step Into the Practice — Not Just the Classroom
Follow the Experts — 2-Day Immersive Clinical Course
There is a moment that every clinician knows — the moment between knowing something intellectually and being able to do it confidently in front of a patient. That gap is real and no amount of slides or simulations fully closes it.
The Follow the Experts Course was designed specifically to bridge that gap.
This is not a lecture series held in a conference room. This is two full days inside the actual CARE Esthetics Headquarters in Jupiter, Florida—the same clinical space where the CARE team treats real patients every single day. Attendees are not observers from a distance. They are in the room. Watching every consultation. Witnessing every injection. Asking questions in real time and on select session days, even receiving treatment themselves.
The course is kept deliberately small — limited to 16-18 doctors per session — so that every moment is meaningful. There is no being lost in a crowd here. Every participant is close enough to see technique, ask questions, and absorb the rhythm of a high-functioning facial esthetics practice.
What unfolds over those two days is a masterclass in the complete world of CARE esthetic medicine:
— Extended PRF protocols: learning how to take PRF from a 2–3 week resorption to a 4–6 month Bio-Filler that fills larger facial voids naturally
— Laser + PRF combinations: including Bio-Heat protocols, age spot removal, and skin resurfacing
— Ozone therapy and micro-needling: in combination with PRF for accelerated outcomes
— Live consultation observation: watching how the CARE team consults patients, documents cases, and builds full yearly treatment plans
— Business fluency: cost-of-goods, pricing strategy, patient marketing, and the structural model behind a profitable facial esthetics practice
This last point is one that surprises many attendees. The Follow the Experts Course is not purely clinical—it is equally strategic. Seeing firsthand how the CARE Esthetics team runs their practice—how they handle consultations, how they communicate value, how they have built a reputation that draws patients from across the country—is education that cannot be replicated in any textbook.
You don't just learn how to treat. You learn how to practice.
The CARE Esthetics Jupiter location, where all Follow the Experts sessions take place, is:
CARE Esthetics Headquarters Three Palms Center — 2141 S Alternate A1A, Unit 305 (3rd Floor), Jupiter, FL 33477. Attendees staying overnight are recommended to book at the Wyndham Grand Jupiter at Harbourside Place, 122 Soundings Ave, Jupiter, FL 33477 — just minutes from the clinic.

Finally: Master Advanced PRF, Cannula Techniques
Advanced PRF and Intro to Cannula — 3-day Course
There comes a point in every clinician's journey when the fundamentals are no longer enough. You understand PRF. You've seen it performed. You've incorporated it into your practice. But true mastery comes from learning how to combine regenerative biologics with advanced facial esthetic techniques to produce predictable, natural-looking outcomes for increasingly complex cases. That is exactly why the Advanced PRF and Intro to Cannula Course was created.
This isn't simply another injectable course. It is the final step in the Advanced PRF Education facial esthetics pathway—a three-day immersive program designed for clinicians who have already completed the Basic Facial Esthetics and are ready to refine their techniques alongside some of the most experienced educators in regenerative medicine.
Hosted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this premier Dental Continuing Education course brings together an interdisciplinary faculty led by Dr. Catherine Davies, Dr. Richard Miron, Dr. Robert Talac, and numerous experts in PRF, lasers, facial injections, sports medicine, and regenerative esthetics. Every lecture, demonstration, and clinical station is built around one objective: helping clinicians confidently integrate advanced regenerative protocols into everyday practice.
Over three intensive days, participants progress from advanced scientific concepts into extensive hands-on clinical training.
Day one establishes the biological and anatomical foundation behind advanced PRF facial esthetics. Participants explore facial anatomy, skin types, safe injection zones, cannula entry points, laser technologies, patient communication strategies, and modern practice growth principles before observing live treatment demonstrations performed by expert faculty.
The true transformation begins on Day Two.
Instead of sitting through lectures, participants rotate through eight dedicated clinical stations, spending focused time learning directly from specialists while performing procedures in small-group settings. Each station concentrates on a specific treatment protocol, allowing attendees to build confidence through repetition and expert guidance.
Clinical stations include:
— Advanced cannula injection techniques for the tear troughs, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawline
— Hair regeneration using exosomes
— Lip enhancement with natural PRF Bio-Fillers
— IV therapy protocols combined with regenerative facial treatments
— CO₂ and IPL laser applications using DEKA laser technology
— BTL EmFace and EmSculpt facial rejuvenation technologies
— PRF joint injections for orthopedic and sports medicine applications
— Additional advanced regenerative treatment protocols taught throughout the rotation
Throughout the program, participants also learn how to create 100% autologous Bio-Fillers from the patient's own blood, extending the clinical benefits of PRF into natural volumization procedures that may provide support for several months. The curriculum also integrates advanced PRF injection techniques, microneedling protocols, laser-assisted regeneration, and combination therapies that reflect the latest developments in facial esthetics.
The learning continues on the third day with advanced discussions on PRF applications in sports medicine, regenerative medicine, research updates, exosome therapies, and additional hands-on clinical practice, allowing participants to reinforce everything they've learned before returning to their own practices.
Like every Advanced PRF Education course, the experience extends beyond technical instruction. Faculty members openly share clinical workflows, treatment planning strategies, patient selection, and practical insights gained from years of experience treating regenerative esthetic patients. The goal isn't simply to teach procedures—it is to help clinicians understand how to integrate them safely, efficiently, and predictably into private practice.
Participants earn 20 Continuing Education (CE) credits upon successful completion of the course. Because of the advanced nature of the curriculum, completion of the PRF in Facial Esthetics Course is required before enrollment.
The upcoming Advanced PRF and Intro to Cannula Course will be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 19–21, 2026, with the next scheduled session taking place November 11–13, 2027. The program is hosted at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, where attendees can also access the recommended course hotel accommodations.

The Bigger Picture
When you look at the clinicians who have come through these three programs—PRF in Facial Esthetics, Follow the Experts, and Advanced PRF and Intro to Cannula — a pattern emerges.
They don't speak about facial esthetics the way most practitioners do. They're not chasing trends or adding services to a menu. They understand the science. They've stood inside one of the most sophisticated regenerative practices in North America. They've treated patients under the guidance of experts who built the field.
And perhaps most importantly—they know how to run a practice around it.
The best continuing education doesn't just change what you can do. It changes how you think about your practice.
Advanced PRF Education—the platform that delivers all three courses—is led by Dr. Richard Miron, nominated as the youngest leader in Dental Continuing Education by Dentistry Today, and is a fully approved AGD PACE Certified CE provider. Every course is built from peer-reviewed science, delivered by clinicians actively practicing at the cutting edge of regenerative esthetics.
For clinicians ready to offer something genuinely different—treatments that are natural, evidence-based, and built for long-term patient relationships—this education path is where that journey begins.
