Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of natural skin rejuvenation treatments out there? Knowing how to identify truly groundbreaking advancements like PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) treatment is key to cutting through the noise and achieving the real, sustainable results you’ve been looking for. This innovative therapy uses your body’s own healing mechanisms to promote skin-deep rejuvenation via cellular regeneration for improved texture.
At AesthetiCare, we’re excited to offer this highly effective nonsurgical treatment to anyone looking for comprehensive skin rejuvenation that lasts. Unlike alternatives that only work on the surface, we use PDGF therapy to promote natural skin renewal at the cellular level.
Not to be confused with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, PDGF is a more advanced alternative that uses synthesized growth factors to powerfully stimulate essential healing processes in the body.
When applied to the skin through micro-injections or combined with microneedling techniques, PDGF activates fibroblasts, which increases collagen and elastin production. This process triggers a cascade of cellular regeneration steps that continue to improve the skin’s texture for weeks following your last treatment.
What makes PDGF particularly effective is its ability to be smoothly integrated into your body’s existing healing and repair mechanisms. In other words, PDGF simply boosts the processes that your body already has in place to heal and rejuvenate your skin, which is why the results look so effortlessly natural.
Thanks to the versatility of collagen and elastin in addressing a wide range of skin concerns, PDGF treatment can improve fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, sun damage, hair loss and more.
The first step in a successful PDGF treatment plan at AesthetiCare is a comprehensive consultation. In this initial appointment, we will determine if PDGF treatment is appropriate for your needs and create a personalized treatment plan centered on your goals and expectations.
Pre-treatment preparation for PDGF is minimal but important for achieving the best possible results.
Your recommendations will be tailored to your circumstances, but we recommend taking the following steps:
The treatment itself is a simple and well-tolerated process. First, the skin is cleansed and prepared, including the use of a numbing cream if needed. Then, the prepared growth factors are applied to the targeted area, either through direct injection or with a microneedling device. Treatments typically last between 45 to 60 minutes with some exceptions.
Immediately after the treatment, you may notice some mild swelling and redness, but these common post-treatment effects resolve on their own in a short amount of time. Long-term aftercare mirrors standard skincare best practices, including protecting your skin from sun exposure and keeping the skin moisturized.
Results from PDGF treatment develop gradually as your skin’s natural regeneration processes take hold. Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance often become noticeable within the first few weeks, with continued improvements developing over the following months as collagen production increases.
When combined with microneedling, the growth factors can penetrate deeper into the skin, improving the effectiveness of both treatments. PDGF also pairs exceptionally well with laser treatments like Moxi or Halo. The growth factors help accelerate healing while improving the skin’s response to energy-based treatments.
Chemical peels may also be more effective when paired with PDGF treatment, as PDGF supports the healing process after exfoliation. For those looking for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, PDGF can be incorporated into HydraFacial treatments to maximize results.
Patients in good overall health who are looking for gradual, long-lasting improvements in skin quality, texture and appearance may benefit from PDGF treatment.
This treatment is particularly well-suited for those with realistic expectations and who prioritize natural-looking (and sustainable) results over more dramatic and fast-acting approaches.
Some medical conditions and/or medications may affect your candidacy for PDGF treatment. We will carefully evaluate these medical factors in a consultation. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility for PDGF, our team at AesthetiCare is here to help.
Our team at AesthetiCare believes in the power of PDGF treatment to deliver natural, long-lasting results you can be proud of. In order to achieve that for every patient, we take extra care to develop a fully personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin type and aesthetic concerns.
