Pure PDGF+ is a hair restoration treatment that uses a lab-engineered, highly concentrated form of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair regrowth. Unlike Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments, it does not require a blood draw from the patient. The best-known product is Ariessence Pure PDGF+, which we use here at Elite Luxe Aesthetics.

​

How Pure PDGF+ Works

The treatment uses a non-invasive, microneedling-assisted application or direct injection into the scalp. Once delivered, the potent growth factors promote new hair growth through several key biological pathways: 

• Stimulates dormant follicles: It works by "waking up" hair follicles that have become dormant or miniaturized due to pattern hair loss.

• Increases blood supply: It promotes angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This increases blood flow to the hair follicles, providing them with more oxygen and nutrients to support growth.

• Enhances cell proliferation: PDGF stimulates the proliferation and survival of dermal papilla cells, which are crucial for hair follicle development.

• Improves follicle environment: It encourages the production of collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix, creating a healthier environment for hair follicles to thrive.

Benefits and Expectations

For those seeking a non-surgical solution for hair thinning, pure PDGF+ has several advantages. 

• Precision and consistency: Because it is a lab-engineered product, the concentration of growth factors is consistent across treatments, unlike PRP, which can vary depending on the patient's blood quality.

• Highly potent: Treatment providers note that lab-engineered PDGF+ is significantly more concentrated and potent than the growth factors found in traditional PRP.

• Minimally invasive: It avoids a blood draw and is generally less invasive, resulting in a quick recovery and minimal downtime.

• Visible results: Patients can expect a gradual increase in hair density and thickness, with initial improvements often noticed within 3–6 months after starting a treatment series.
