PDGF in Coral Gables & South Miami, FL
PDGF is used in aesthetic medicine to support recovery and skin repair after procedures that intentionally create controlled injury, like microneedling, fractional lasers, and chemical peels. At Miami Skin + Vein, pure PDGF is offered as a topical application after select treatments to help calm the skin, reduce redness, and support healthier-looking healing from the inside out.
This is not an injectable treatment. PDGF is applied directly to the skin following procedures that open temporary channels, allowing it to absorb where it’s most effective.
PDGF stands for platelet-derived growth factor, a naturally occurring protein released by activated platelets whenever the body is injured. It plays a key role in wound healing, tissue repair, and cell communication. PDGF helps signal the body to begin repairing damaged tissue by supporting cell growth, cell migration, and cell proliferation.
In aesthetic medicine, PDGF is used to support post-procedure healing rather than replace the procedure itself. ariessence pure PDGF+ is a recombinant form of PDGF manufactured under pharmaceutical standards. This means it is sterile, consistent, and highly concentrated without requiring a blood draw or use of the patient’s blood, unlike platelet-rich plasma or PRF.
PDGF has been used for years in FDA-approved medical applications, including wound care and tissue regeneration, and has now become a trusted option in cosmetic dermatology as a topical regenerative treatment.
When applied after procedures that stimulate controlled injury, PDGF supports the skin’s natural repair process and improves how the skin looks as it heals.
With PDGF applied after other treatments, patients can enjoy:
PDGF works with the body’s natural healing response, so results develop gradually and feel consistent rather than abrupt.
At our practice in Miami PDGF treatments are appropriate for most skin types and tones. They’re often chosen by patients who want to improve healing, comfort, and overall skin quality after procedures like laser therapy or microneedling.
PDGF may be a good option for patients concerned with:
During a personalized consultation, your provider will review your skin’s unique needs and determine whether pairing PDGF with your procedure makes sense.
PDGF supports tissue healing by signaling repair at the cellular level, helping the skin recover more evenly after treatment.
By encouraging healthy cellular turnover, PDGF can contribute to smoother texture and more balanced skin tone over time.
Many patients notice reduced redness within the first hour after application, helping shorten social downtime.
PDGF plays a role in tissue regeneration, which can support improvement in the appearance of scars and signs of aging when used consistently with other treatments.
When applied to the scalp, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) treatments can help repair dry and damaged skin while simultaneously promoting hair growth.
PDGF is applied topically immediately after your procedure, while the skin is most receptive. Because it’s not injected, there’s no added discomfort. Most patients do not require a topical anesthetic beyond what’s already used for the primary treatment.
The application itself takes only minutes and becomes part of your overall treatment session.
Most patients experience minimal downtime with PDGF. Mild redness or swelling from the primary procedure may still occur, but many patients report that their skin calms more quickly.
Aftercare instructions are simple and focused on gentle moisturizers, sun protection, and avoiding unnecessary irritation while the skin heals.
PDGF works in phases.
Within the first hour, patients often notice reduced redness and a calmer appearance. Over the following weeks, improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall quality continue as collagen production and tissue repair progress.
Results are not instant or dramatic overnight. They build gradually, supporting resilient skin that looks healthier and more balanced.
The cost of PDGF varies based on the procedure it’s paired with and how often it’s used. Because it’s an add-on treatment, pricing is discussed as part of your overall treatment plan during consultation.
