PDGF Therapy in Yakima, WA

At Integrative Dermatology, we believe the most powerful treatments work with your body, not against it. PDGF therapy (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor therapy) is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment designed to stimulate healing, rebuild collagen, and restore vitality to both skin and hair. By isolating and concentrating the body’s own growth factors, PDGF therapy goes far beyond traditional platelet treatments like PRP or PRF, offering consistent, reliable, and noticeable results.

Whether you’re looking to smooth scars, rejuvenate aging skin, or regrow thicker, healthier hair, PDGF therapy provides a safe, non-surgical solution that harnesses your body’s natural ability to repair and renew.

What Is PDGF?

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is a naturally occurring protein in your body’s platelets that plays a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and regeneration.

By harnessing concentrated PDGF, we supercharge your body’s ability to heal, rebuild collagen, and restore vitality to your skin and hair.

At Integrative Dermatology, we use medical-grade PDGF formulations to deliver targeted regenerative therapy for a variety of conditions—achieving results beyond traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin).

How Does PDGF Therapy Work?

PDGF therapy is most effective when combined with microneedling or injections, which create tiny microchannels in the skin or scalp. These allow PDGF to penetrate deeply, jumpstarting your body’s natural healing response.

PDGF activates:

Collagen & elastin production → firmer, younger-looking skin
New blood vessel formation → improved circulation and tissue health
Cellular regeneration → repair of scars, stretch marks, and hair follicles

On-Label and Off-Label Uses of PDGF Therapy

On-Label Uses

Facial rejuvenation and skin tightening
Treatment of acne scars and surgical scars
Improvement of skin texture, tone, and elasticity

Off-Label Uses

Hair restoration: stimulates dormant follicles for thicker hair
Stretch mark reduction: remodels skin for smoother texture
Chronic wound healing: aids recovery in hard-to-heal skin injuries
Joint & soft tissue repair: reduces inflammation, supports healing of tendons/ligaments (in select cases)

Why PDGF Is Superior to PRP and PRF

While PRP and PRF use your own blood’s platelets, PDGF therapy delivers a more concentrated, purified, and potent form of the key growth factors responsible for regeneration.

Here’s why that matters:

Greater Concentration: Isolates the most critical proteins for collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and cell repair → faster, more effective results.
Consistent Results: Standardized formulations reduce variability seen with PRP/PRF.
Enhanced Absorption: When paired with microneedling or injections, PDGF penetrates deeper into tissues for maximum benefit.
Broader Applications: Safe and effective for both skin and scalp, plus versatile off-label uses.
