PdGF-BB
ADVANCED REGENERATIVE SKIN REJUVENATion
PDGF-BB (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB) is a powerful regenerative growth factor used to support your skin’s natural repair process. Often paired with treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, or other collagen-stimulating procedures, PDGF-BB helps enhance skin renewal for a smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking complexion.
Unlike fillers or neurotoxins, PDGF-BB works by encouraging your skin to repair and regenerate from within
How it works
PDGF-BB is a naturally occurring growth factor involved in the body’s healing process. When applied following treatments that create controlled microchannels in the skin, it helps signal skin cells to begin repairing damaged tissue.
This regenerative process may help:
Stimulate collagen and elastin production
Improve skin texture and tone
Support faster recovery after aesthetic procedures
Reduce the appearance of fine lines
Enhance overall skin quality and radiance
By working with your body’s own healing response, PDGF-BB promotes healthier, stronger skin over time.
Personalized Treatment PlanS
During Treatment
PDGF-BB is typically used immediately after treatments such as microneedling or laser resurfacing, allowing it to penetrate the skin through tiny treatment channels. The application adds only a few minutes to your procedure.
After Treatment
Recovery is similar to the procedure you’re receiving. Mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity is common and usually resolves within a few days.
Many patients notice healthier, more radiant skin as healing progresses, with continued improvements in texture and firmness developing over several weeks as new collagen forms.
Your provider will recommend the ideal treatment plan based on your skin goals.
