PDGF

Discover Advanced Growth Factor Technology

The Science of Beautiful Renewal

Modern rejuvenation is defined by innovation, precision, and an understanding of the skin's natural biology. Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a signaling protein involved in cellular activity and tissue repair.

At Monarch Aesthetic Medicine, PDGF-based skincare represents a sophisticated approach to supporting skin quality through carefully selected formulations and personalized treatment planning, bringing advanced science into the art of aesthetic refinement.

Please note that PDGF is not a standalone treatment. It is applied topically post-procedure for many of services to enhance and refine results.

I have been coming to Monarch for years. Heather and Megan have always been extremely professional and are very knowledgeable. I have received many treatments over the years and have always been satisfied. They also offer a monthly membership as well as monthly deals. I have taken advantage of both. I would highly recommend scheduling your next treatment with Monarch.

Staff was kind and professional. Facility was really pretty and clean. Went in for a lip flip and discussed our options. Was one of the least painful lip flip procedures I’ve ever had! Will edit with results in a week once everything has kicked in.

I have been going to Monarch Aesthetic Medicine for 2 years and have had a wonderful experience. The front desk staff are warm and inviting. I appreciate Heather’s professional input when we’ve discussed beauty and aesthetic trends. I never feel that she is pushing a treatment on me. Instead, she presents the risks vs benefits and provides alternative options with realistic outcomes.
