PRF + PDGF⁺ Microneedling harnesses your body's own growth factors to rejuvenate your skin naturally. Hillsboro Dental offers this regenerative treatment for patients across Green Hills and Nashville.
What is PRF + PDGF⁺ Microneedling?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PDGF⁺ Microneedling is a regenerative treatment that combines your body's natural growth factors with advanced microneedling technology to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and support natural tissue rejuvenation.
PRF is created from a small sample of your own blood and contains platelets, fibrin, growth factors, and regenerative cells. When combined with PDGF⁺ and applied during microneedling, these growth factors penetrate the skin through thousands of microchannels, helping support the skin's natural healing and renewal process.

What to Expect During Treatment
A small blood sample is collected and processed to isolate PRF. After your skin is cleansed and numbed, microneedling is performed to create controlled microchannels in the skin. PRF and PDGF⁺ are then applied to the treatment area to enhance the skin's natural regenerative response. Most appointments take approximately 60–90 minutes.
