PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is a targeted regenerative treatment used in hair restoration to stimulate follicular activity, improve scalp circulation, and encourage healthier, thicker hair growth. This advanced therapy harnesses one of the body’s most powerful natural healing proteins—delivered directly to areas of thinning hair to rejuvenate the scalp and support long-term follicle health.

What is PDGF?

PDGF is a naturally occurring protein found in the body that plays a key role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. In the context of hair restoration, PDGF supports the growth phase of the hair cycle by promoting blood vessel formation, activating stem cells around the hair follicle, and encouraging cellular repair.

When applied to the scalp, PDGF can help awaken dormant follicles, strengthen existing ones, and create a more supportive environment for consistent, healthy hair growth.

Benefits of PDGF Hair Restoration

• Stimulates natural hair regrowth by activating follicle stem cells

• Improves scalp health and circulation

• Helps reduce shedding and thinning over time

• Non-surgical, with no downtime

• Safe for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair loss

• Can be combined with other in-office treatments for enhanced results

What to Expect

PDGF hair restoration is typically performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Most patients notice an improvement in shedding and scalp health within the first few sessions, with visible thickening and regrowth developing over time. PDGF may be delivered on its own or in combination with microneedling, PRP, or exosomes for enhanced penetration and effectiveness.
