Restore Skin Using Your Growth Factors
PDGF injections are a regenerative aesthetic treatment that uses purified platelet-derived growth factors to stimulate your skin’s natural repair and renewal processes. These growth factors signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, helping improve skin texture, firmness, and overall quality. PDGF injections are commonly used to address fine lines, crepey skin, acne scarring, uneven tone, and early signs of aging. Because the treatment works with your body’s own biology, the results develop gradually and look natural.
What Do PDGF Injections Treat?
PDGF injections are used to address a wide range of concerns by supporting cellular repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. This regenerative approach improves overall skin quality while targeting visible signs of aging and damage in a natural way.
Common concerns treated with PDGF injections include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Acne scars and textural irregularities
- Uneven skin tone and dullness
- Enlarged pores
- Sun-damaged skin
How Do PDGF Injections Work?
PDGF injections deliver concentrated platelet-derived growth factors into targeted areas of the skin. These growth factors act as chemical messengers that signal your cells to begin repairing and rebuilding damaged tissue. They activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production, which are essential for firm, smooth skin. As new collagen forms over time, the skin becomes stronger, more resilient, and more even in texture and tone.
Advantages of PDGF Injections:
- Stimulate natural collagen and elastin production
- Improve overall skin quality and texture
- Support gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
- Minimal downtime and discomfort
- Suitable for multiple areas of the face and body
- Can be combined with other aesthetic treatments
- Utilize regenerative science rather than synthetic fillers
Your PDGF Injections Session
Your session begins with a consultation and skin assessment to confirm candidacy. Your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied. The PDGF solution is carefully injected into targeted areas of your skin using fine needles or a cannula.
You may feel mild pressure or pinching as the product is placed. After treatment, your provider reviews post-care instructions, and you can typically return to normal activities the same day.
PDGF Injections FAQs
Is there downtime after PDGF injections?
Downtime is minimal for most patients. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites for a day or two. However, most people return to work and daily activities the same or the next day, making this a convenient option for skin rejuvenation.
When will you see results from PDGF injections?
PDGF injections work by stimulating your body’s natural regenerative processes, so the results develop gradually. You may notice early improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as new collagen forms. The most noticeable results typically appear around three months after treatment.
How many PDGF injection sessions will you need?
The number of sessions you need depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and the areas being addressed. Many patients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart to build collagen. Some individuals notice improvement after a single session, while others choose periodic maintenance treatments to sustain results over time.
