Topical PDGF stimulates collagen renewal and cellular turnover, enhancing the benefits of microneedling and resurfacing treatments.

We incorporate platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) into many of our skin treatments to harness your body's own healing intelligence. Paired with procedures such as microneedling or resurfacing, PDGF supports recovery, encourages collagen production, and refines overall outcomes for a more balanced, natural-looking result.
Our nationally recognized Denver aesthetic team will recommend PDGF only when it aligns with your skin, lifestyle, and long-term goals, and will integrate it into a comprehensive treatment plan. This biology-driven approach offers a regenerative pathway to improved healing and healthier, more resilient skin.

PDGF, or Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, is a topical serum that supports the skin's natural repair processes and encourages collagen production. It can be used on its own or paired with other aesthetic treatments as part of a comprehensive plan. PDGF stimulates cellular turnover and collagen and elastin production to rebuild your skin's texture and resilience over time

PDGF is typically selected as an add-on treatment to support natural skin repair. After procedures like microneedling, RF microneedling, or laser resurfacing that create microchannels in the skin, your provider applies PDGF to the treatment area. The PDGF is deeply absorbed into the freshly treated skin, expediting your recovery and enhancing your results.
PDGF is thoughtfully paired with other treatments to support concerns such as:
PDGF acts as a regenerative partner, elevating the results of other treatments.


PDGF is a topical, regenerative serum applied immediately after microneedling or skin resurfacing to support healing and rejuvenation on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
At Aère Aesthetics, PDGF is thoughtfully integrated into treatment plans to support whole skin health.
Supports more efficient recovery after resurfacing, microneedling, and other restorative treatments.

We collaborate closely to honor your unique features.
If you are exploring microneedling or resurfacing, PDGF is an excellent way to elevate your results by stimulating your body’s own regenerative capacity. It is a good choice for those who value subtle, steady improvements that support long-term skin health. During your consultation, your Aère specialist will review your skin concerns, goals, and preferences to determine whether PDGF is an elegant complement to your overall treatment plan.
Recovery time from treatments like microneedling and skin resurfacing depends on the procedure. However, adding PDGF to your treatment plan can speed healing. Mild redness and temporary sensitivity are possible, depending on the treatment performed. Aftercare focuses on hydration, skin barrier support, and diligent sun protection. By supporting cellular repair, PDGF is designed to make the healing process smoother, more predictable, and more effective.
After the initial healing phase, patients often see a softer, more even surface and a refreshed radiance. Over the following weeks, collagen remodeling and regenerative activity continue, gradually refining tone and texture. Your Aère provider will help you understand what to expect at each stage and how PDGF fits into your broader, long-term aesthetic plan.
When combined with microneedling or resurfacing, PDGF is intended to deepen and extend the benefits of your primary treatment. Many patients experience longer-lasting improvements in skin quality, resilience, and luminosity. For sustained results, your specialist may recommend a maintenance schedule that integrates PDGF with other services, always prioritizing balance, safety, and a natural-looking outcome.
Aère Aesthetics offers a globally informed approach to natural-looking rejuvenation, led by nationally recognized injectors and educators. Ask our Denver team how integrating regenerative methods into your personalized skincare plan can support your skin's long-term health and beauty.
No. At our practice, PDGF is used as a topical, regenerative serum layered onto the skin, not injected. This allows us to support healing and collagen stimulation while maintaining a refined, natural outcome.
PDGF pairs best with microneedling and resurfacing treatments, such as laser treatments and chemical peels. Your provider will help you evaluate your options to determine how PDGF can support your goals.
Topical PDGF is safe for every Fitzpatrick skin type. We tailor your comprehensive treatment plan to your skin’s unique needs.
PDGF is most effective as part of a series. Your clinician will recommend the number of sessions to include within your broader treatment plan so that improvements build gradually and naturally over time.
PDGF itself does not create downtime. Instead, it is used to support recovery, helping calm the skin and potentially shortening visible healing after procedures such as resurfacing or microneedling.
