PDGF+ (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)

If your skin feels like it's lost its ability to bounce back, you're not imagining it. As we age, our skin produces fewer of the growth factors that drive repair and renewal. PDGF+ is a concentrated serum designed to reintroduce those signals, helping skin behave like younger skin again.

This is not a cosmetic filler or injectable. It's a topical treatment that works with your skin's biology to encourage healthier, more resilient tissue over time.

What PDGF+ Is

PDGF+ stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, a naturally occurring protein that plays a key role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. In skincare, PDGF+ is formulated as a serum to support collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote cellular turnover.

• Derived from growth factor science used in regenerative medicine
• Applied topically after microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments to enhance results
• Can also be used as part of a daily skincare regimen for ongoing support
• Works at the cellular level to encourage repair and reduce visible signs of aging

Many patients see improvements in fine lines, skin tone, firmness, and overall radiance with consistent use. Results build gradually as the skin responds to the growth factor signals.

What to Expect

PDGF+ is most effective when paired with procedures that create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing. It can also be incorporated into your home skincare routine.

• Application: Serum is applied immediately after an in-office treatment or at home as directed
• Absorption: Serum absorbs quickly with no greasy residue
• Downtime: None when used alone. If paired with a procedure, downtime depends on that treatment
• Results timeline: Subtle improvements may appear within 2 to 4 weeks. Best results develop over 2 to 3 months with consistent use
• Maintenance: Can be used daily or as recommended by your provider

Who PDGF+ Is For

This treatment works well for patients looking for non-invasive ways to support their skin's natural healing processes and improve long-term skin quality.

• Adults concerned with fine lines, uneven texture, or loss of firmness
• Patients who want to enhance the results of microneedling, peels, or laser treatments
• Those looking for a science-backed topical option that goes beyond standard moisturizers
• Anyone interested in regenerative skincare that supports collagen and elastin production
• Patients committed to a consistent skincare routine

PDGF+ is not a quick fix. It's a long-term investment in skin health that rewards patience and consistency.
