The Ultimate
Microneedling Upgrade

Microneedling is already one of our favorite treatments for improving skin texture, softening acne scars and fine lines, and stimulating natural collagen production—but pairing it with PDGF (platelet-derived growth factors) takes the treatment to an entirely new level.
‍
Platelet-derived growth factors are powerful proteins that support the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes. During treatment, PDGF is delivered directly into the skin through the controlled microchannels created by SkinPen® Microneedling, allowing the growth factors to reach exactly where they can best support your skin's natural repair and regeneration. This advanced approach helps optimize healing, support continued collagen and elastin production, and enhance improvements in smoothness, firmness, hydration, and overall skin quality. It is our most advanced regenerative microneedling option for clients who want to maximize every treatment and invest in results that continue developing over time.

What To Expect

Consultation

We begin with a brief consultation to review your skin concerns, assess your complexion, and ensure Microneedling with PDGF is the best treatment for your goals.

Cleanse & Numb

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed before a topical numbing cream is applied to maximize your comfort throughout the treatment.

Microneedling & PDGF

Once your skin is numb, SkinPen® Microneedling is performed while PDGF is microneedled directly into the skin. This allows the growth factors to reach the freshly created microchannels, supporting your skin's natural repair process and maximizing the regenerative benefits of treatment.

Let the PDGF Work

Following treatment, we gently cleanse the skin and leave the PDGF in place so it can continue supporting your skin's natural healing and regeneration. You will also receive two travel-size moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable during recovery.

Optional BioCellulose Recovery Mask

For enhanced comfort and recovery, you may choose to purchase our BioCellulose Recovery Mask to use at home the following day. This ultra-soothing mask helps replenish hydration, calm the skin, and reduce post-treatment redness for an even more comfortable recovery.

Before And After Care

Before Treatment

- Arrive with clean skin when possible and avoid wearing heavy makeup.
- Discontinue retinoids (Retin-A, tretinoin, adapalene) 5–7 days before treatment.
- Avoid waxing or shaving of the treatment area for 1 week prior to your appointment.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, or arriving with sunburned or irritated skin.
- Let us know about any recent cosmetic treatments, medication changes, allergies, pregnancy, or changes in your skin.
- Come prepared to discuss your current skincare routine, concerns, and goals so we can personalize your treatment.

After Treatment

- Expect redness, warmth, and tightness for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Some clients may also notice slight swelling or tenderness.
- After the redness disappears, the skin will become dry and flaky as your skin naturally renews itself for 2-3 days.
- Allow the skin to shed naturally—do not pick, peel, or pull at flaking skin.
- Makeup can be applied once redness is 100% gone.
- Keep your skin well hydrated and use only the products recommended by your provider for the first 24–48 hours.
- Wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure or anything that could result in a sunburn while your skin heals.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas, and swimming for the first 48 hours.
- One week after treatment, you may resume your normal skincare routine.

FAQs

How is Microneedling with PDGF different from microneedling?

Traditional microneedling stimulates your body's natural collagen production through controlled micro-injuries. Adding PDGF enhances that process by providing advanced growth factors that support healing, optimize collagen production, and help maximize your overall results.

Who is a good candidate for Microneedling with PDGF?

Microneedling with PDGF is an excellent option for anyone looking to maximize collagen production, improve more advanced signs of aging, refine acne scars, or simply achieve the highest level of skin rejuvenation we offer. During your consultation, we'll help determine if this upgrade is right for your skin goals.

Is Microneedling with PDGF worth the upgrade?

If you're already investing in microneedling and want to maximize your results, we believe the answer is yes. PDGF supports your skin's natural healing and regenerative processes, helping optimize collagen production, improve recovery, and elevate the overall results of your treatment. It's our favorite upgrade for clients looking for the highest level of skin rejuvenation.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 months to continue supporting healthy collagen production.

Jessica
I am a regular client of Ashleys. She’s so knowledgeable of her services, the products she’s using and really listens to why I’m there and adjusts my services accordingly. I have seen a major change in some melasma I held on my face, a huge turnaround in the general “glow” of my skin and it also seems to retain hydration so much longer now. It’s an added bonus she’s just about one of the sweetest humans I’ve met! Highly recommend a visit to her.
Sarah
I absolutely love coming to Botanic Zen! My skin has completely transformed coming here! In only 4 sessions, I’ve seen improved tone, less redness, and an amazing glow. These women know what they’re doing! Kelsey and Ashley are professional, kind, and yet so personable. You may find yourself telling them every single story of your life and feeling like you’ve known them for forever. They’ll set you up with a great skincare regimen, and I never feel like I’m pressured to buy or try anything I don’t want to.
