Is PDGF microneedling different from PRP/PRF microneedling?

Yes. While PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factors) all contain platelets, they come from different places. Unlike PRP or PRF, PDGF does not require a blood draw. However, we still use naturally occurring platelets for pure PDGF microneedling. NYC skin expert Dr. Akis uses PDGF when a client’s skin needs more growth factors to heal, as PDGF provides a more concentrated and consistent dose of growth factors compared to PRP and PRF. This doesn’t make either technique universally more effective, only more suitable for different situations. During your consultation, Dr. Akis will help you decide between PRP/PRF microneedling and pure PDGF microneedling based on your skin’s needs.

Does pure PDGF microneedling treat acne scars?

Yes, Dr. Akis can treat acne scars with pure PDGF microneedling. NYC trusts Aion Aesthetics for our understanding of skin anatomy and personalized care. Depending on your unique needs, we may also recommend other treatments, which work in different layers of your skin. For example, Dr. Akis may recommend a VI peel to address deeper-rooted, pigmented acne scarring before performing pure PDGF microneedling in NYC.

How do I prepare for PDGF microneedling?

In the week leading up to your appointment for pure PDGF microneedling in NYC, do not tan or sunbathe to avoid increasing your skin’s sensitivity to irritation. At least 3 days before treatment, stop using NSAIDs, fish oil, retinoids, acids, and alcohol to support healing. Please remove any makeup and skincare products before arriving at our office for pure PDGF microneedling. NYC’s trusted provider, Dr. Akis will answer your questions and numb your skin before beginning this 60-minute treatment.

When will I see results from pure PDGF microneedling?

Many clients notice their skin appears more hydrated and refreshed within a week of their treatment with pure PDGF microneedling in NYC, and results improve for up to 12 weeks after. Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and rough for 2 to 3 days. As your collagen levels rise, your results become more apparent from pure PDGF microneedling. NYC’s renowned provider, Dr. Akis, will walk you through how to care for your skin during the short healing process to support its long-term health.

How do I maintain my results?

With the proper care, you can maintain your results from pure PDGF microneedling in NYC for up to 12 months. Depending on your situation, Dr. Akis may recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to support steady collagen production and your results. Outside of our clinic, staying consistent with your skincare routine extends your results from PDGF microneedling. NYC is home to many skincare brands, but Dr. Akis will help you optimize your routine with the best science-backed products for you.

About Aion

Reduce Fine Lines

Time leaves a trace through fine lines where collagen has quietly disappeared. At Aion Aesthetics, we amp up your skin’s collagen production to smooth those lines from the inside out with pure PDGF microneedling. NYC is home to many medical spas and anti-aging treatments, but our unique approach stimulates cellular repair with science-backed precision, so you can express yourself freely.

Hydrate Dry Skin

Dryness isn’t just caused by a lack of moisture. It’s caused by cellular fatigue. As your body slows down its production of moisture-retaining proteins, your skin loses its ability to retain hydration. Through pure PDGF microneedling in NYC, Dr. Akis gently rebalances your skin to replenish moisture long-term. Beyond quenching your skin’s thirst to provide a healthy, dewy glow, we give your skin a stronger foundation.

Prevent Skin Aging

Starting quietly in your mid-20s, your body produces less collagen, gradually weakening your skin’s structure. At Aion Aesthetics, you don’t have to wait until aging becomes visible to take action. Dr. Akis combats the aging process with pure PDGF microneedling in NYC, preventing severe collagen loss. More than a reactive therapy, this proactive treatment provides lasting support.

Revive Dull Skin

Stress, pollution, and time affect how quickly your skin can replace old, damaged cells, allowing them to cloud your complexion. By energizing your skin on a cellular level, we give you the power to rewrite your skin’s story with pure PDGF microneedling. NYC deserves deep, long-term rejuvenation. With PDGF, Dr. Akis renews your radiance from within.

Stimulate Hair Growth

Thinning hair isn’t just cosmetic—it’s biological. Our pure PDGF microneedling treatment replenishes the scalp’s natural growth factors, awakening dormant follicles. By improving circulation and nourishing growth at the root, we revitalize your scalp on a cellular level to encourage longer, thicker hair, naturally.
