This study delves into the application of growth factors in medical aesthetics and wound healing. We first review the biological basis of growth factors, including their definitions, classifications, and signaling pathways. Subsequently, we analyze the specific roles of growth factors in scar repair, skin regeneration, and anti-aging treatments. Additionally, we assess the auxiliary role of growth factors in laser therapy and microneedling, as well as their application in skin grafting and artificial skin substitutes. The study results indicate that growth factor therapy has significant potential in improving treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. Finally, we discuss the safety of growth factor therapy, side effect management, and regulatory and clinical practice guidelines. This study provides a new perspective for medical aesthetic practice and guidance for future research and clinical applications.
