Microneedling with PDGF
Microneedling with PDGF combines collagen-stimulating micro-channels with a lab-made concentrate of platelet-derived growth factor — isolating and amplifying the repair signal your skin responds to most.
Price:
From $900 | members from $850
Time in Chair:
60 minutes. Includes numbing and treatment
Downtime:
1–3 days of redness; mild flaking or swelling possible
Visible Effects:
Early glow within 1–2 weeks; firmer tone and smoother texture build in 4–6 weeks
Duration:
The results themselves don’t reverse but the regeneration will slow down in time. Seasonal or semi-annual follow-up sessions can help sustain collagen activity & keep improvements building.
Sequencing:
Typically 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks appart
What this helps with
Early laxity or thinning skin
Crepey texture
Enlarged pores
Post-acne or surface scarring
General dullness or lack of vibrancy

What it is
Microneedling with PDGF takes the well-known benefits of microneedling — stimulating repair through thousands of micro-channels — and elevates it with a concentrated, lab-made platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Unlike plasma-derived PRF, which varies from person to person, PDGF is generated consistently in the lab with exactly the growth signals your skin needs to rebuild collagen and elastin. This makes it a more reliable and potent option for boosting skin structure, texture, and resilience.
How it works
As the microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries, PDGF is delivered directly into these channels. The growth factor acts as a regenerative signal, amplifying the body’s natural repair response. Collagen and elastin production increase steadily over the weeks that follow, gradually firming the skin, smoothing texture, and improving overall quality. Because PDGF is concentrated and consistent, the regenerative signal is both stronger and more predictable than when using blood-derived growth factors alone.
In the role of supporter
Microneedling with PDGF isn’t only a stand-alone treatment — it can also play a valuable supporting role. Because it strengthens the skin’s foundation and enhances collagen activity, it layers well between other treatments. For example, pairing it with neurotoxin helps prolong smoother results, while sequencing it around resurfacing treatments or peels improves overall skin quality so other results look even better. Think of it as both a corrector and an enhancer — helping your investment in other treatments go further.
What to expect
-
We’ll assess your skin health and history to confirm this is the right treatment for your goals. Photos are taken to track progress.
-
A topical numbing agent keeps the session comfortable. You’ll feel a light buzzing or scratching sensation as the microneedling pen works across the skin while PDGF is applied and absorbed.
-
Redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn are common for 1–2 days. Most clients return to normal activities quickly. Glow appears within days, while firmer, smoother skin builds progressively over 4–6 weeks.
Supporting your results
Microneedling with PDGF strengthens and rejuvenates skin on its own — but in some cases, results can be enhanced by thoughtful combinations. During your consultation, we’ll talk through whether layering or sequencing other treatments could refine balance or sustain results.
