what are advanced growth factors?
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. 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.
What areas can advanced growth factors treat?
Growth factor treatments are commonly used to improve:
- Face (overall skin quality and collagen support)
- Under-eye area
- Neck and décolletage
- Hands
- Scalp (hair restoration support)
- Post-procedure healing and recovery
Benefits of advanced growth factor therapy
- Supports natural collagen production
- Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Suitable for face, scalp, and body
- Can be combined with other treatments
Our philosophy emphasizes biologic rejuvenation with refined, natural-looking results.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
pdgf-bb
PDGF-BB therapy utilizes concentrated, lab-grown platelet-derived growth factors designed to signal fibroblasts and other cells to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. PDGF-BB offers consistency, predictability, and precision without requiring a blood draw.
Benefits of PDGF-BB Therapy
- Highly concentrated, standardized formulation
- Stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration
- Supports skin quality and firmness
- No blood draw required
- Minimal downtime
exosomes
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.
HOW TO PREPARE…
PRE-APPOINTMENT
Avoid booking an appointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Arrive with clean skin and avoid active skincare products (such as retinoids or exfoliants) for several days prior to treatment.
Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol and pain killers such as Advil, Tylenol, and Aspirin 2 days before your treatment.
DURING APPOINTMENT
Your provider will assess skin quality, treatment goals, and medical history to determine whether PDGF, exosome therapy, or a combination is most appropriate
Growth factors may be applied via targeted injections or microneedling, depending on the treatment area and indication.
Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves within 24–72 hours.
POST-APPOINTMENT
AAvoid exercise and drinking alcohol for 24 hours.
Avoid excessive sweating for 24 hours.
Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, sun exposure) for 24–48 hours.
Specific aftercare may vary depending on whether the therapy is combined with microneedling or other procedures.

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 cellular rejuvenation.
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 in accordance with 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 best for you. Due to the high variability 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.
