PDGF+, PDRN, PRP, PRF: What Does It All Mean?

Regenerative treatments focus on stimulating your skin's natural repair process to improve texture, firmness, tone, and overall skin health. Rather than simply masking signs of aging, these treatments work with your body to rebuild and restore healthier skin from within.

At Elixir Aesthetics Med Spa, regenerative therapies are often paired with treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and advanced facials to enhance healing and maximize results.

Here's a closer look at what these commonly used regenerative treatments actually do.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP is created from a small sample of your own blood. After it is processed, the plasma becomes rich in growth factors that support tissue repair and collagen production.

When applied during treatments like microneedling or injected into targeted areas, PRP helps stimulate:

• collagen production
• improved skin texture
• faster healing
• brighter, healthier skin

Because it uses your own platelets, PRP is a natural and highly compatible treatment for skin rejuvenation.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

PRF is often considered the next generation of PRP. It is processed differently, allowing it to retain more regenerative cells and release growth factors more slowly over time.

This means PRF can provide longer-lasting regenerative stimulation, making it ideal for treatments like:

• microneedling
• under-eye rejuvenation
• skin restoration treatments

PDGF+ Growth Factors

PDGF stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, one of the most powerful signals the body uses to repair tissue and stimulate collagen production.

PDGF+ treatments deliver concentrated growth factors that help support:

• collagen regeneration
• improved skin firmness
• faster healing after procedures
• overall skin rejuvenation

These treatments are commonly used after microneedling, laser treatments, or resurfacing procedures to accelerate recovery and improve results.

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)

PDRN is a regenerative ingredient derived from purified DNA fragments that help support tissue repair and cellular regeneration. Also commonly known as Salmon DNA.

It works by encouraging damaged skin to repair itself more efficiently, making it particularly helpful for:

• skin recovery
• improving skin texture
• supporting collagen production
• revitalizing tired or aging skin
