Growth Factor Treatments in La Jolla, CA
Advanced Cellular Rejuvenation for Healthier, More Resilient Skin
As we age, the skin’s natural repair mechanisms slow down—collagen production declines, cell turnover decreases, and elasticity weakens. At Starlite Aesthetics, our Growth Factor treatments offer a sophisticated, non-surgical solution to restore balance at the cellular level, stimulating regeneration and improving skin quality from the inside out.
Led by Michelle Langston, FNP-BC, our approach combines holistic healing with modern innovation to deliver results that look natural, feel lasting, and support long-term skin health. We proudly serve clients from La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and throughout the San Diego region.

What Are Growth Factors?
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that regulate essential cellular processes—such as healing, regeneration, and tissue remodeling. In aesthetic medicine, they are used to boost the skin’s ability to repair itself, encouraging collagen synthesis, improved circulation, and balanced skin function.
These bioactive proteins are typically derived from platelet-rich sources or lab-engineered biocompatible materials. At Starlite Aesthetics, we use clinically tested, FDA-cleared growth factor formulations that work in harmony with your skin’s biology.
What Can Growth Factor Treatments Help With?
Growth factors are ideal for addressing early to moderate signs of aging and skin fatigue. This treatment is commonly recommended for:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Dehydrated or thinning skin
- Post-treatment healing and skin recovery
They are also an excellent post-care enhancement for procedures such as Microneedling, PRP Facial Rejuvenation, and Laser Face Peels with PRP, as they accelerate tissue repair and improve visible outcomes.
Treatment Approach
At Starlite Aesthetics, Growth Factor therapy is customized based on your skin’s condition, goals, and sensitivity level. The treatment may involve:
- Topical application of concentrated growth factors during or after resurfacing
- Direct infusion via RF Microneedling
- Integration with Exosome Therapy for compounded regenerative effects
- Inclusion in post-procedure healing protocols
We also use Computer Skin Analysis to assess your skin’s condition before and after treatment, ensuring your care is data-informed and results-driven.

Are growth factors safe?
Yes. Growth factor serums used at Starlite Aesthetics are derived from medically approved, biocompatible sources and are rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness.
Can I combine growth factor treatment with microneedling?
Absolutely. Growth factors are commonly used during or immediately after Microneedling and Collagen Induction Therapies to maximize skin repair and minimize inflammation.
Is this the same as PRP?
While both treatments support regeneration, PRP uses your own blood-derived platelets, while growth factors are typically externally sourced and formulated for consistent potency. They can be used separately or together, depending on your skin’s needs.
How often should I get this treatment?
Most clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help keep your skin in peak condition.
Does this treatment help with post-inflammatory pigmentation?
Yes. Growth factors improve skin repair, support balanced melanin production, and can help fade discoloration when combined with proper exfoliation and pigment-regulating products.
