ABOUT growth factor therapy IN NYC
PDGF+ & Exosome Therapy for Regenerative Aesthetics
Advanced. Regenerative. Precision-driven.
Growth factor therapies represent a sophisticated approach to skin and tissue rejuvenation—utilizing biologic signaling to support cellular repair, collagen production, and overall skin health. At ION Aesthetics and Medicine, growth factor treatments such as PDGF+ and Exosome Therapy are delivered with clinical precision to achieve natural, progressive rejuvenation without synthetic fillers..
What Are Growth Factor Treatments?
Growth factor treatments use concentrated biologic messengers—proteins and signaling molecules—that communicate with cells to stimulate regeneration, repair, and renewal. These therapies support the body’s natural healing processes, improving skin quality, texture, elasticity, and resilience over time.
Our advanced growth factor options include:
PDGF+ (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors)
Exosome Therapy
These treatments may be used alone or combined with other regenerative or aesthetic procedures.
PDGF+ Therapy
PDGF+ therapy utilizes concentrated, lab-grown platelet-derived growth factors designed to signal fibroblasts and other cells to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. PDGF+ offers consistency, predictability, and precision without requiring a blood draw.
Benefits of PDGF+ Therapy
Highly concentrated, standardized formulation
Stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration
Supports skin quality and firmness
No blood draw required
Minimal downtime
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that contain powerful signaling proteins, peptides, and growth factors. In aesthetic medicine, exosome therapy is used to enhance cellular communication, support tissue regeneration, and reduce inflammation.
Benefits of Exosome Therapy
Potent regenerative signaling
Improves skin texture and elasticity
Supports collagen production
Enhances healing and recovery
Often combined with microneedling or injectable treatments
Exosome treatments are provided in accordance with current medical guidelines and clinical judgment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Growth factor therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses biologically active signaling molecules—such as PDGF+ (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) and exosomes—to support cellular repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. These therapies are designed to improve skin quality, promote healing, and enhance overall rejuvenation at a cellular level.
-
Growth factors act as messengers that signal skin cells to repair, regenerate, and produce new collagen and elastin. PDGF+ stimulates fibroblast activity and tissue repair, while exosomes facilitate cell-to-cell communication, supporting skin renewal and reducing inflammation. Together, they help improve skin texture, tone, and overall vitality over time.
-
Good candidates are adults looking to improve skin quality, fine lines, texture, inflammation, or overall skin health using advanced regenerative treatments. Growth factor therapy is ideal for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation and can be used alone or in combination with treatments such as microneedling, lasers, or injectables. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.
-
Results develop gradually as cellular regeneration occurs. Improvements can last several months, with many patients choosing a series of treatments or maintenance sessions to sustain optimal results. Longevity depends on the specific product used, treatment area, and individual response.
-
Downtime is minimal. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the treatment site, which typically resolves within a couple of days to one week. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or the following day.
-
After treatment, you should avoid:
Strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
Excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, sun exposure) for 24–48 hours
Alcohol for 24 hours
Touching or applying pressure to the treated areas unless instructed
Specific aftercare may vary depending on whether the therapy is combined with microneedling or other procedures.
-
Arrive with clean skin and avoid active skincare products (such as retinoids or exfoliants) for several days prior to treatment. Follow any pre-treatment instructions provided during your consultation, especially if the therapy is being combined with another procedure.
-
Discomfort is minimal. When used topically or with microneedling, patients may feel mild warmth or sensitivity. If injected, a topical numbing agent may be applied. Most patients tolerate the treatment well.
-
Growth factor therapy is considered safe when performed using medical-grade products and administered by trained professionals. Products such as PDGF+ and exosomes are processed under strict quality standards. As with any regenerative treatment, potential risks and benefits will be reviewed during your consultation.
-
Your treatment begins with a consultation to determine the best approach for your goals. Growth factors may be applied topically, delivered through microneedling, or injected into targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 60 minutes, with gradual improvement seen over the following weeks as cellular regeneration occurs.
-
Every patient will have unique, individualized needs when it comes to hair restoration. Hair loss and thinning may occur due to many factors and all of this information plays a role when determining which treatment is the best for you. Due to the high variablitiy of PRFM blood samples, it is difficult to determine how much of a positive impact you will receive from these treatments. Speak with your provider to determine which growth factor therapy best fits your goals and needs.
