Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are powerful, naturally occurring proteins that play a key role in cellular repair and regeneration. They bind to receptors on skin cells, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, improving circulation, and accelerating healing. When used in aesthetic treatments, PDGF enhances skin tone, texture, and elasticity, helping to restore a radiant, youthful appearance. Because it works with your body’s natural processes, PDGF promotes healthy, long-term rejuvenation from within.

PDGF FAQs
How does PDGF work?
PDGF works by activating the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes. When applied topically or combined with microneedling, these growth factors bind to receptors on fibroblasts and endothelial cells, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, as well as angiogenesis and cellular renewal. This strengthens the skin’s structure, improves circulation, and accelerates repair. Over time, PDGF helps smooth fine lines, refine texture, and restore firmness, revealing healthier, more radiant skin that continues to improve over time.
How is PDGF administered?
PDGF can be applied topically or paired with treatments like microneedling for enhanced absorption. During your session, your provider will apply the growth factor directly to your skin, allowing it to penetrate deeply and stimulate regeneration. When used with microneedling, the microchannels created allow PDGF to reach the deeper layers of the dermis, maximizing collagen production. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires minimal downtime.
What are the side effects of PDGF?
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a short period after treatment, especially when combined with microneedling. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours, leaving your skin refreshed, renewed, and glowing.
Does PDGF involve downtime?
You’ll be glad to know PDGF treatments involve little to no downtime. Most people resume normal activities the same day, with only mild redness or sensitivity that fades quickly as your skin begins its natural renewal process.
When will I see the results of PDGF?
You may notice a healthy glow within days as your skin begins to heal and renew. Over the following weeks, collagen production increases, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, with continued improvement over time.
How often do I need PDGF treatments?
You’ll typically benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, depending on your skin goals. Your provider will design a personalized plan to maintain collagen stimulation and keep your skin looking healthy and rejuvenated.
