Procedure Overview

Consultation
We’ll discuss your skincare goals and determine whether PDGF may be a good addition to your treatment plan.
Blood Draw
A small blood sample is drawn using standard, sterile technique.
Preparation
The sample is processed to isolate the PDGF-rich component.
Application
- For topical therapy: The nutrient-rich growth factors are swept over the skin during or after a microneedling session.
- For structural therapy: A very fine needle or cannula is used to precisely inject the PRF/PDGF into targeted areas (like the under-eyes) to restore youthful volume.
Aftercare Guidance
You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your skin following your combined treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PDGF?
PDGF stands for platelet-derived growth factor, a component derived from your own blood that’s used to complement other facial treatments.
Is PDGF the same as PRF or PRP?
Think of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) as the “liquid gold” vehicles, and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) as one of the most powerful, active healing agents naturally packed inside them. When we draw and process your blood, we isolate your PRP or PRF to harvest its high concentration of PDGF. This specific growth factor signals your stem cells to produce new collagen, repair blood vessels, and heal the skin.
Can PDGF be used on its own?
PDGF is most commonly used as a complementary add-on to another treatment, such as microneedling, rather than as a standalone service.
How long does the process take?
Since PDGF is typically added to another treatment, total appointment time depends on the primary procedure it’s paired with.
