Join David DeMesquita and Dr. David Hill MD as they discuss some cutting edge technologies in the medical field, to help athletes and anyone interested, to level up their health, performance and aesthetics. Dr. David Hill MD is a double board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. With a reputation for delivering natural, transformative results, Dr. Hill combines years of surgical expertise with a passion for patient-centered care. He has launched pure platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF Pure+) at The Graivier Center. This innovative treatment harnesses the body’s natural healing capabilities to deliver advanced rejuvenation and recovery benefits for patients seeking a non-invasive solution to enhance their skin and overall wellness. PDGF Pure+ is a revolutionary therapy that isolates high concentrations of platelet-derived growth factors, known for their role in tissue repair, cell regeneration, and collagen production.
