Any recommendations on where to buy Human Growth Factor serum for microneedling aftercare?

Question

I read that using human growth factor serum, hyaluronic acid serum and retinol/retinoid post micro-needling can help with healing and stimulate growth. Do experts here have brands to recommend (esp. on Human Growth Factor serum) that I can buy online or over phone? My dermatologist’s office doesn’t sell these and I want to use something more than my regular moisturizer after microneedling.

The collagen stimulation achieved by a well performed microneedling either with the pen or with RF such as Vivace is due to the mechanical effects of the needles entering the skin. In the Vivace treatment the collagen stimulation is greater because of the RF energy. Skin care products to stimulate collagen are a waste of your money and will not do much since the skin channels close few seconds after the treatment. Your best option is to follow the aftercare instructions from your physician. Also avoid using products containing Retinol or glycolic acids afterwards because they will make your skin irritated.

I am working with a new skincare company called Célage Bioscience, and we are in the process of finalizing an at-home microneedling treatment system combining human growth-factors derived from mesenchymal stem cell topicals and a hand-held microneedling stamping tool with 0.25 mm needles. We are really excited about the development and look forward to sharing more at launch.Studies show the channels created by microneedling the skin can stay open for up to an hour and have been proven to enhance penetration of topically applied serums by over 300%. Also, shorter needle lengths have been scientifically proven to be more effective than longer needle lengths for enhancing penetration of topically applied products.
