One of my patients recently completed three treatments combining Ariessence® recombinant platelet-derived growth factor (rPDGF) with microneedling, and the hair growth we’re seeing has been truly impressive. Increased density, improved thickness, and healthier-looking hair.
So what is recombinant PDGF?
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the key signaling proteins your body naturally uses for wound healing and tissue regeneration. Recombinant PDGF is a bioengineered, highly purified version of this growth factor, created to deliver consistent, targeted stimulation without relying on variable patient-derived products.
Why does it work for hair?
Hair follicles are highly responsive to growth signals. PDGF helps by:
• Activating dormant hair follicles
• Supporting the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle
• Improving follicular blood supply and cellular signaling
• Encouraging a healthier scalp environment for regrowth
When paired with microneedling, which creates controlled micro-channels in the scalp, rPDGF can pe*****te more effectively and amplify the regenerative response. Think of microneedling as the “door opener” and rPDGF as the instruction manual telling follicles to grow.
This approach is non-surgical, science-backed, and results-driven—and for the right patient, it can be a powerful option in a comprehensive hair restoration plan.
📍 As always, treatments are personalized, and results may vary—but regenerative dermatology continues to show us what’s possible when biology is respected and leveraged thoughtfully.
