FACE CODE: Advanced Facial Laser & Regenerative Aesthetics

Two days with Dr. Robert Talac and Dr. Ana Cristina Pereira on the decision-making behind fractional CO2 resurfacing, PRF, and exosome-based regeneration — when to use each, on which patient, and in what order.

The Next Level of Facial Aesthetics.

Technology is the easy part. Selection is the skill.

Modern facial aesthetics is not defined by a single technology or procedure. Successful outcomes depend on understanding skin biology, selecting the appropriate treatment intensity, integrating regenerative therapies thoughtfully, and supporting the patient throughout healing.

FACE CODE is an advanced two-day educational experience for practitioners who already have experience with laser treatments and PRF and want to strengthen their clinical decision-making. Rather than teaching fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, PRF, and exosome-based strategies as isolated procedures, the course demonstrates how each modality can be evaluated and integrated within a comprehensive facial-rejuvenation plan.

The Framework · 7 Steps

Seven questions behind every outcome.

01.

Understand

What is happening biologically?

02.

Define

What are we trying to improve?

03.

Evaluate

What may influence response or healing?

04.

Restore

Does the skin require preparation?

05.

Regenerate

Is PRF, an exosome-based strategy, or another regenerative approach appropriate?

06.

Support

How should recovery and tissue healing be optimized?

07.

Maintain

How should results be evaluated and preserved?

Inside the room

Seventy percent of this course is your hands, not your notes.

Concepts are covered quickly so the bulk of both days can go to device laboratories, preparation workshops, and faculty-led live procedures where every decision is explained as it is made.

Parameters at the Machine

Energy, density, depth, pulse strategy, and scanning modes — set on the device, then translated into the tissue response they actually produce. Includes advanced parameter-selection and layering exercises.

PRF, made properly

Collection principles, centrifugation, product quality, timing, and handling — plus the troubleshooting that separates a usable membrane from a wasted draw. Participants will also learn when to combine PRF with other modalities—and when not to.

Decisions, out loud

Faculty perform complete treatments — assessment through regenerative integration and recovery planning — narrating every significant choice in real time, including the ones they reconsider.

Prerequisites

Is this course right for you?

FACE CODE is designed for practitioners already working with laser and PRF who want to move past standard protocols. Day 1 assumes working familiarity with both.

Faculty

Two disciplines, one framework.

Live-patient procedures throughout the course are performed exclusively by faculty, with every significant clinical decision explained as it is made.
