At Simply Bliss Medical Spa in Omaha, NE, we harness the power of science-backed innovation to help your skin heal, renew, and glow. Our topical Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) treatment is designed to accelerate skin repair, boost collagen, and maximize results after professional procedures—all without injections.
What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)?
PDGF is one of the body’s most important signaling proteins for wound healing and tissue regeneration. In aesthetics, topical PDGF is derived from advanced bioengineering and formulated for safe, effective use on the skin’s surface. Unlike injectables, topical PDGF works by soaking into the upper layers of the skin, where it “communicates” with skin cells to:
- Accelerate cell turnover and renewal
- Stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin
- Promote faster repair of micro-injuries caused by procedures like microneedling, lasers, or peels
This means your skin heals more quickly, with less redness and irritation, and you see results like smoother texture, improved firmness, and a healthy glow.
Benefits of Topical PDGF
- Accelerates healing after in-clinic skin procedures
- Reduces redness, irritation, and downtime
- Boosts collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin
- Improves skin texture, tone, and overall radiance
- Non-invasive and suitable for even sensitive skin types
How Does Topical PDGF Work?
Consultation & Assessment: We carefully review your skin type, concerns, and any recent or upcoming procedures to ensure PDGF is the right fit. This tailored approach maximizes safety and results.
Application: After cleansing, PDGF is applied directly to the treatment area, often immediately following in-office procedures. Because the skin is more receptive post-treatment, the growth factors penetrate deeply for optimal effect.
Aftercare & Results: Clients typically notice less downtime, reduced redness, and a quicker return to normal activities. Over the following days and weeks, improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance become more evident. We provide guidance on at-home care to maintain and extend your results.
Combination Approach: PDGF pairs well with other advanced skincare products—such as hyaluronic acid serums, antioxidants, and healing balms—to create a synergistic effect for maximum skin regeneration.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Topical PDGF is a great choice for:
- Anyone wanting to speed up recovery and see better results after professional skin treatments
- Individuals with sensitive, easily irritated, or mature skin who need gentle, effective support for healing
- Clients looking for non-invasive, needle-free options to boost collagen and skin quality
- Those with busy lifestyles who want to minimize downtime and quickly return to daily activities
- People investing in a series of treatments (like microneedling or laser) who want to maximize each session’s results
PDGF is safe for all skin types, but a personalized consultation ensures the best protocol for your unique needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does topical PDGF compare to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
While both use growth factors to stimulate healing, PRP is derived from your own blood and injected or
microneedled into the skin. Topical PDGF is lab-formulated and applied on the skin’s surface—making it non-invasive, consistent, and suitable for those who want to avoid needles.
How often should I use topical PDGF?
This depends on your treatment plan. Some clients use it after every procedure, while others incorporate it into their weekly routine for ongoing skin support.
Is topical PDGF safe?
Yes, when used as directed in a medical spa setting, it is considered safe and well-tolerated.
Can I use PDGF at home?
Some formulations may be available for home use, but professional guidance ensures the best results and safety.
How soon will I see benefits?
Many clients notice reduced redness and faster healing within days, with continued improvement in skin quality over weeks.
Can PDGF be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! It’s often used alongside other advanced skincare and in-office procedures for synergistic effects.
