Quick Answer: PDGF+ (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Plus) under-eye rejuvenation uses regenerative growth factors to reduce dark circles, hollowness, fine lines, and crepey texture under the eyes. At Luxe Beauty in Amarillo, TX, it's one of the most advanced options for this notoriously difficult treatment area.
The under-eye area is one of the most delicate — and most telling — parts of your face. Dark circles, hollowness, crepey texture, and fine lines under the eyes can add years to your appearance, and they're notoriously resistant to eye creams and standard treatments. That's why we offer PDGF+ under-eye rejuvenation at Luxe Beauty: one of the most advanced regenerative options available for this stubborn area.
What Is PDGF+?
PDGF+ stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Plus — a lab-engineered, pharmaceutical-grade growth factor that stimulates your skin's own repair and regeneration processes. Unlike PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or PRF, which are derived from your own blood draw and produce variable results depending on your platelet concentration, PDGF+ is a consistent, standardized formula that delivers a precise, potent dose every time.
When injected into the under-eye area, PDGF+ signals your skin cells to:
Produce new collagen and elastin — thickening thinning, crepey skin
Generate new hyaluronic acid — restoring natural moisture and plumpness
Activate fibroblasts — the cells responsible for structural skin repair
Stimulate new blood vessel formation — improving nutrient delivery and reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by poor microcirculation
How Does PDGF+ Compare to PRP and Filler?
Patients often ask how PDGF+ stacks up against other under-eye options. Here's the honest breakdown:
vs. PRP/PRF: Both use growth factors to stimulate regeneration, but PDGF+ doesn't require a blood draw and delivers a consistent potency every session. PRP results vary based on your platelet levels that day.
vs. Hyaluronic Acid Filler (tear trough filler): Filler adds volume immediately but doesn't improve skin quality. PDGF+ actually regenerates the tissue — improving texture, thickness, and tone over time. For patients with very thin, crepey under-eye skin, PDGF+ addresses the root cause rather than masking it.
vs. Eye Creams: Topical products cannot penetrate deeply enough to stimulate collagen production. PDGF+ is delivered directly into the treatment zone via injection or microneedling, where it can actually activate the repair cascade.
What Under-Eye Concerns Does PDGF+ Address?
PDGF+ under-eye treatment is ideal for:
Fine lines and crepey texture under the eyes
Thinning skin that makes blood vessels more visible (causing a blue/purple tint)
Mild hollowness or sunken appearance under the eyes
Dark circles caused by skin thinning or poor microcirculation
Under-eye skin that looks dull, tired, or lacks firmness
Patients who have had filler in the past and want to improve skin quality rather than add more volume
PDGF+ is not a replacement for filler in cases of significant volume loss — but for patients where quality (not quantity) is the issue, it's often the better choice.
What to Expect at Your PDGF+ Appointment at Luxe Beauty
Here's how treatment works:
The appointment takes approximately 20–30 minutes
PDGF+ is applied via targeted injection directly under the eyes, or combined with microneedling for enhanced absorption and broader skin improvement
Most patients experience minimal discomfort — a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand
Downtime is minimal: some mild redness or swelling may be present for 24–48 hours
Results begin with improved hydration and brightness within days; structural improvements in texture and firmness typically appear over 4–8 weeks
Results can last 6+ months, and a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results
Is PDGF+ Right for You?
You may be a great candidate for PDGF+ under-eye treatment if you:
Are bothered by fine lines, crepey texture, or thinning skin under the eyes
Have dark circles that don't respond to sleep, hydration, or eye creams
Want to improve skin quality without adding filler volume
Are on a GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide and experiencing facial volume or skin quality changes from weight loss
Are looking for a regenerative, non-surgical solution with minimal downtime
Frequently Asked Questions
How many PDGF+ treatments will I need?
Many patients see meaningful improvement after a single session, but a series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for best results, especially for more advanced concerns.
Can PDGF+ be combined with other treatments?
Yes — PDGF+ pairs well with microneedling, CO2 laser resurfacing, and hyaluronic acid filler. Your provider at Luxe Beauty will recommend the right combination approach based on your specific under-eye concerns.
Is PDGF+ safe?
PDGF+ uses an FDA-approved growth factor and has a well-established safety profile. Because it doesn't require a blood draw, there's no risk of contamination from your own blood. Side effects are typically limited to mild redness or swelling at the injection site.
