Post-procedure healing
Reduced redness, swelling, and downtime after microneedling, laser resurfacing, and peels.
Pure PDGF+ Regenerative Therapy
Regenerative results, without the blood draw.
A pharmaceutical-grade growth factor that stimulates collagen, accelerates healing after procedures, and supports hair restoration — with consistent potency every single time.
What PDGF+ actually does.
Platelet-derived growth factor is a protein your body already relies on for tissue repair. It signals fibroblasts and other cells to proliferate, prompting production of collagen, elastin, new blood vessels, and the extracellular matrix that keeps skin resilient.
Pure PDGF+ delivers that growth factor in a recombinant, pharmaceutical-grade form paired with hyaluronic acid. Because it is produced in a laboratory rather than drawn from you, every application contains the same concentration — no variability based on your age, health, or how your blood happened to spin down that day.
PDGF itself is not experimental. Recombinant PDGF holds multiple FDA approvals and has been used therapeutically in orthopedic and maxillofacial medicine across millions of patients, which is an unusually deep safety record for anything in aesthetics.
Who it suits best
PDGF+ is most often used two ways: layered immediately after microneedling or laser resurfacing to amplify results and shorten recovery, and applied to the scalp to support hair restoration. It is a strong option for patients who want regenerative benefits but would rather avoid a blood draw, or who have found PRP results inconsistent.

What PDGF+ supports.
Collagen and elastin
Deeper collagen renewal for firmer skin structure over time.
Skin texture and tone
Faster cell turnover contributing to smoother, more even skin.
Hair restoration support
Applied to the scalp to support follicle activity as part of a wider hair-loss plan.
Under-eye area
The delicate periorbital skin, where early aging often shows first.
Overall skin quality
Improved microcirculation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
What to expect
How a visit works.
Planning
PDGF+ is typically paired with another treatment rather than used alone. We determine where it fits in your plan and what it will realistically add.
Application
It is most often applied immediately following microneedling or laser resurfacing, while microchannels in the skin are still open and absorption is at its highest.
Continued care
Healing is generally faster and calmer than the same procedure without it. For hair restoration, PDGF+ works as part of an ongoing plan rather than a single application.
Pure, potent, predictable — every application.
Results
How results unfold.
The most immediate benefit is recovery. Patients who use PDGF+ after microneedling or laser resurfacing typically experience less redness and swelling and a shorter, more comfortable healing window than they would otherwise.
The regenerative effects build more gradually. Collagen renewal and improved skin quality develop over weeks to months, in step with the procedure it accompanies. Hair restoration follows the slowest timeline of all — follicles work on their own schedule, and results require patience and an ongoing plan rather than one visit.
Common questions
PDGF+, answered.
How is PDGF+ different from PRP?
PRP requires drawing your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and reapplying the concentrated platelets. Its potency varies with your age, health, and blood on that particular day. PDGF+ uses a lab-produced, pharmaceutical-grade growth factor, so there is no blood draw and each application delivers the same concentration.
Does PDGF+ require needles or a blood draw?
No blood draw is needed. PDGF+ is most commonly applied topically right after microneedling or laser resurfacing, when the skin's microchannels are open and absorption is greatest. Any needles involved come from the accompanying procedure, not from PDGF+ itself.
Is PDGF safe?
Recombinant PDGF has an unusually well-documented safety profile for an aesthetic ingredient, with multiple FDA approvals and therapeutic use across millions of patients in orthopedic and maxillofacial medicine over the past fifteen years. As with anything, we review your history before treating.
Can PDGF+ help with hair loss?
It can support hair restoration when applied to the scalp, and is used as part of a broader plan. But hair loss has many causes, and effective treatment starts with identifying yours. A dermatologic evaluation comes first — PDGF+ is one tool within a plan, not a standalone cure.
Can I have PDGF+ on its own?
It is generally used alongside another treatment, because its greatest value comes from enhancing healing and results when the skin is already primed. We will talk through where it fits in your plan at consultation.
How soon will I notice a difference?
The faster, calmer recovery is usually apparent within days. Collagen renewal and skin-quality improvements build over weeks to months, in step with the procedure it accompanies. Hair results take longest and require an ongoing plan.
