PDGF Therapy

What it is

PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) is a purified protein naturally found in the body that signals cells to repair and regenerate.

In aesthetic medicine it is used to support collagen and elastin, skin texture and elasticity, and hair follicle health. It can be used on its own or combined with other treatments.

Concerns it addresses

• Aging or thinning skin
• Hair loss or thinning hair
• Scarring and uneven texture
• Laxity and dullness of the face, neck or décolleté
• Delicate areas such as the tear troughs

Whether this treatment suits you is decided at consultation, after a review of your goals and medical history.

Key benefits

• Supports firmer skin and tissue repair
• Can reduce the look of fine lines
• Supports hair density and scalp health
• Can be combined with microneedling, EZ Gel, Sculptra and more

The appointment

PDGF is applied to the treatment area, often alongside another treatment such as microneedling, as agreed in your plan.

What to expect

• Best results are usually seen after a series of 3 treatments
• Sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart

Important considerations

• Results vary. Individual outcomes depend on the treatment, your skin and your health history.
• Not every treatment is right for every person. Suitability is decided with you at consultation.
• Tell your provider about medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and recent treatments.
