PDGF

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is used in aesthetic treatments that promote natural skin rejuvenation, boost collagen production, and support tissue repair. At Hi, Finch, we use PDGF to enhance results from microneedling and under eye treatments, helping to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, accelerate post-procedure healing, and improve under eye wrinkles and dark circles. This anti-aging serum is perfect for patients seeking smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin through natural, regenerative methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PDGF?

PDGF stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, a natural protein found in your blood that plays a key role in healing and skin regeneration. PDGF+ by Ariessence is an exact copy of the human derived growth factor found in our blood. Because PDGF is made in a lab, the product is highly purified and concentrated. PDGF can be 1,000 to 300,000 more concentrated than your own blood, because the concentration of growth factors and platelets found in PRF can vary due to many factors including hydration and health status of the patient.

What is the difference between PRF and PDGF?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural product made from your own blood. It contains a concentrated mix of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin that work together to stimulate healing, regenerate tissue, and boost collagen production. PRF EZgel is typically used for under-eye rejuvenation, hair restoration, and facial volume enhancement, and is injected directly into the skin. PRF liquid is typically used topically to enhance the effects of microneedling.

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is just one of the key components naturally found in PRF. It can also be used on its own in the form of a topical growth factor serum. PDGF is applied after procedures like microneedling or PRF injections to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and further support collagen production and skin repair. Off-label uses of PDGF include injections around the eye for volume loss, tissue and skin repair, fine lines, and dark circles.

In short, PRF is the full, natural concentrate, while PDGF is a purified, targeted ingredient that boosts the effects of skin treatments and speeds up recovery.
