Rebuild and Rejuvenate with Regenerative Microneedling
If you’re seeking visible skin improvement without harsh procedures, Regenerative Microneedling offers a powerful yet gentle solution. At Glow Medical Aesthetics in Tulsa, OK, this advanced treatment combines traditional microneedling with Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) to stimulate collagen, refine texture, and accelerate skin repair. Whether you’re looking to soften scars, improve tone, or slow visible signs of aging, Regenerative Microneedling enhances your skin’s own ability to heal and renew from within.
What Is Regenerative Microneedling?
Regenerative Microneedling is a next-generation skin treatment that uses controlled micro-injuries to trigger collagen production, combined with PDGF to support healing and regeneration. PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors) are natural signaling proteins that help activate cellular repair and enhance the skin’s recovery. When applied after microneedling, PDGF enhances results by accelerating tissue renewal and promoting stronger, more resilient skin. This makes it an ideal option for patients seeking both immediate glow and long-term skin health.
How Does Regenerative Microneedling Work?
At Glow Medical Aesthetics, we perform regenerative microneedling using the FDA-cleared SkinPen®, the first microneedling device approved by the FDA, ensuring precision, safety, and consistent clinical outcomes. The treatment begins with microneedling, where a device with fine needles creates hundreds of microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled injuries signal your body to start the repair process and build new collagen. Immediately after, Platelet-Derived Growth Factors are applied topically to penetrate through the open channels, amplifying your skin’s regenerative response. This dual approach targets both surface-level concerns and greater structural improvements, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more radiant over time.

When will I see results?
Many patients notice a brighter complexion within a few days, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen continues to build.
Is there any downtime?
Mild redness or sensitivity may occur for 24–48 hours after treatment. Most patients resume normal activities the next day with minimal restrictions.
What exactly is PDGF-BB?
PDGF-BB, or Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB, is a naturally occurring growth factor first identified in the 1970s by researchers at Harvard Medical School who discovered that blood platelets release a substance that stimulates wound healing and collagen production. Over decades of research, PDGF has been shown to support cellular repair by encouraging fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, to multiply and rebuild damaged tissue. In regenerative aesthetics, PDGF-BB is manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards using recombinant engineering, which allows for consistent, purified production of the protein. It is carefully purified for sterility, potency, and safety, with a well-documented clinical track record. By delivering a concentrated signal for repair, PDGF-BB enhances collagen stimulation and supports faster, more predictable skin rejuvenation results.
