Growth Factors (GFs)
Growth Factors in Skin & Hair Rejuvenation
From +£80 per session
Growth factors are proteins that regulate cell communication, healing, and regeneration. In aesthetics, we use recombinant growth factor serums to enhance the skin’s healing response after treatments.

What They Are
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth, division, and repair. In aesthetics, topical recombinant growth factor serums are applied post-procedure to accelerate wound healing and enhance regeneration.
Brands we use:
● AnteAGE MD (bone marrow stem cell–derived cytokines & growth factors).
● AQ Solutions (human fibroblast-derived growth factors).

● AQ Solutions (human fibroblast-derived growth factors).
Mechanism of Action
● Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) → keratinocyte proliferation → epidermal renewal.
● Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) → fibroblast stimulation → collagen synthesis.
● Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) → angiogenesis → improved blood flow.
● Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-β) → scar remodelling, balanced collagen deposition.

Where We Use GFs
● Skin rejuvenation → microneedled with dermastamp or pen.
● Hair restoration → hair-specific formulations with microneedling.
● Post-heat treatments (laser, RF, Tixel) → accelerates healing, reduces downtime.

Evidence
● Goldberg et al, J Drugs Dermatol 2013 – growth factors improve photodamaged skin and wrinkles.
● Mehta et al, J Cosmet Dermatol 2019 – improved wound healing and scar outcomes with topical GFs.
● AnteAGE white papers – show significant fibroblast proliferation and reduced inflammatory cytokines.

How Growth Factors Work (Mechanism of Action)
● EGF → boosts keratinocyte renewal.
● PDGF → stimulates fibroblasts for collagen.
● VEGF → supports blood vessel growth.
● TGF-β → remodels scars, balances collagen.

FAQ'S
Do growth factors work like fillers or Botox?
No. They repair and regenerate, they don’t freeze muscles or add volume.
Can they be used with all devices?
Yes – especially after treatments that create controlled injury (microneedling, RF, lasers).
