Support Skin Recovery and Improve Overall Skin Quality. Fine lines, uneven texture, and visible skin damage can affect how your complexion looks and feels. At BCRN Aesthetics in Houston, founder Bri Collins, MSN, FNP-C, provides aesthetic care under the medical supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Young Cho. PDGF may support skin recovery while improving overall skin quality when paired with appropriate aesthetic treatments.
What Is PDGF?
Platelet-derived growth factor, or PDGF, is a naturally occurring protein involved in tissue repair and cell signaling. It supports cellular growth, tissue repair, and the production of collagen and other structural proteins.
In aesthetic care, practitioners can apply purified PDGF to treated skin as part of a procedure designed to support healing and improve skin quality. When paired with microneedling, the controlled microchannels may let topical PDGF interact more directly with the treated area. Clinical research has found that pure PDGF applied after radiofrequency microneedling may improve skin quality and support recovery.
Who Is PDGF For?
PDGF may be considered if you want to support skin recovery while improving overall skin quality. It may be appropriate for concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, redness, and visible signs of skin damage.
Your treatment plan depends on your skin condition, medical history, and which procedure you pair with PDGF. Our team can assess your concerns and determine whether this approach fits your goals.

The PDGF Procedure
Your treatment begins with an assessment of your skin, concerns, and desired results. If PDGF is being paired with microneedling, your skin is cleansed and prepared before the procedure to create controlled microchannels across the treatment area.
After microneedling, the PDGF product is applied topically to the treated skin. The microchannels created during treatment provide temporary pathways across the skin surface, allowing the growth factor product to contact the treated tissue.
Your treatment area and microneedling settings depend on your skin concerns and the procedure selected. Our team will explain each step before treatment and provide aftercare instructions specific to the procedure. Published research has evaluated PDGF after RF microneedling for facial skin quality, with reported improvements during follow-up.
Recovery and Results
Mild redness, swelling, warmth, or tenderness may occur after the underlying procedure. Keep your skin clean, avoid unnecessary sun exposure, and follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team.
Results develop gradually as your skin recovers and responds to treatment. Clinical research found improvements in facial skin quality at follow-up after RF microneedling with topical PDGF.
