PRP and PDGF

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is a regenerative treatment derived entirely from your own blood. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets, which are rich in natural growth factors responsible for healing and tissue repair. When applied to the skin or injected, PRP stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and supports overall rejuvenation using your body’s own biological resources.

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors)
PDGF refers to a highly concentrated form of growth factors that play a key role in cellular repair, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration. Unlike PRP, PDGF used in treatment is not drawn from your own blood. It is a purified, advanced formulation designed to deliver consistent and potent regenerative signaling to the skin. When applied during treatments such as microneedling, PDGF enhances the skin’s healing response, supporting more efficient collagen production and refined results.

About PRP and PDGF

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A regenerative treatment derived from your own blood, using concentrated platelets rich in natural growth factors to support collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
    PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors): A purified, advanced growth factor formulation not derived from your own blood, designed to deliver consistent and potent regenerative signaling to the skin.

  • PRP: A small blood sample is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied or injected into the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and collagen production.
    PDGF: Applied directly to the skin, often during treatments like microneedling, PDGF penetrates through micro-channels to signal cells to repair, regenerate, and produce collagen more efficiently.

  • PRP:
    Preparation includes a blood draw followed by processing to isolate PRP. The PRP is then applied or injected based on your treatment goals. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur for 1–2 days, with gradual improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended.

    PDGF:
    Preparation involves cleansing the skin, often with a topical numbing agent if combined with microneedling. PDGF is applied during or immediately after treatment to enhance absorption. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur for 24–48 hours. Skin continues to improve over time, with treatments typically performed in a series and maintained as needed for optimal results.

    PDGF: Also minimal downtime, typically mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours, especially when combined with microneedling.

  • PRP: Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, with continued results over time as collagen builds.
    PDGF: Often supports a more accelerated visible improvement, with ongoing enhancement as the skin continues to regenerate.

  • PRP: Results can last several months, depending on individual skin response and maintenance.
    PDGF: Results are also long-lasting with proper maintenance, often appearing more refined due to enhanced regenerative signaling.

  • PRP: A series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended.
    PDGF: Often performed in a similar series as PRP or incorporated into ongoing treatments, with maintenance based on individual goals.
