What is a skin treatment with growth factors?

Growth factors are obtained by collecting a small sample of blood, similar to what is required for a standard laboratory test. The blood is placed in a specialized tube and spun in a centrifuge to separate its components. Once the process is complete, the portion of the blood containing growth factors is collected and prepared for administration.

Depending on the desired treatment, the blood-derived growth factor serum can be applied using various techniques and in different areas. For instance, it may be administered through microneedling, an injection, or a cannula. After an evaluation, your treating professional will recommend the most suitable technique based on your specific needs.

Platelets are a primary component of the blood used in this treatment. While their main role is to assist in clotting, they also release numerous growth factors that are directed to specific areas of the body to accelerate healing or regeneration. In aesthetic medicine, platelet properties are harnessed to rejuvenate the skin, treat dark circles and eye contours, repair certain skin damage, and expedite healing after ablative laser treatments.
