About Microneedling with PDGF
Microneedling with PDGF combines professional microneedling with a professionally selected platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) formulation. Microneedling creates controlled microchannels within the skin, while PDGF is applied during the session to support the skin's renewal process.
At MIHSA Aesthetics, this service is customized according to skin type, area, and concern, making it an option for clients seeking advanced improvement in texture, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality.
How it works
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that activate the skin's natural repair response and encourage collagen and elastin production.
PDGF is a signaling protein involved in skin renewal. When applied as part of a professional microneedling session, it complements the skin-renewal process as the skin recovers.

Frequently asked questions
What is Microneedling with PDGF and how does it work?
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin to encourage natural collagen and elastin production. A professional PDGF formulation is applied during the session to complement the skin's natural renewal response.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements may become noticeable as the skin recovers, while changes related to collagen remodeling develop gradually over several weeks. Continued improvement may occur over the following months and with additional sessions.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies based on skin condition, age, number of sessions, sun exposure, skincare, lifestyle, and individual collagen response. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to help preserve skin quality.
How many sessions will I need, and how often?
Many clients benefit from a series of approximately 3–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The number and frequency are personalized according to your skin concerns and goals.
What is the recovery time or downtime?
Temporary redness, sensitivity, mild swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur afterward. Recovery varies with session intensity and individual skin response, but these effects commonly improve within several days.
