Platelet Derived Growth Factor

Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) naturally occurs in your blood stream. It is commonly used in procedures such a PRP joint injections. PDGF is a much more potent version that causes your body to produce more connective tissue, skin, fat, elastin. PDGF has been used for over three decades to help with complex wound healing, burn treatments and surgical repairs. In aesthetics, our favorite use of this powerful nutrient signaling factor is to treat dark under eyes known as tear troughs. We also use this to treat deep wrinkles that don't resolve with Botox alone or we add it on to Morpheus8 micro-needling or Ultra laser treatments to help hair growth in scalp restoration treatments. Peak results occur eight weeks after treatment. If further volume is wanted we can retreat at that time. Typically 2 to 3 treatments are needed. Results last as long as normal tissue takes to break down again.
