Layered onto your microneedling session, then quietly at work for weeks — softer texture, more even tone, a steadier kind of glow.
You come in for microneedling. As the channels are still open, we layer Ariessence Pure PDGF+ across your skin so it travels in alongside the treatment — nothing extra to feel, no second room, no needle in your arm.
From there, it works quietly. Platelet-derived growth factor is the same signal your body uses to rebuild tissue; we're simply giving the cells that produce collagen a clearer cue to get to work. Because it's a recombinant protein and not a blood product, there's no draw, no spin, no autologous prep — a real option when PRF or PRP isn't what you want.
You won't see the change in the mirror tomorrow. You'll feel it over the following weeks — smoother to the touch, more even in tone — with most patients maintaining what they've built in one to two sessions a year.

Who it helps.
One add-on to a treatment you were already doing — quieter recovery in the days that follow, better skin in the weeks after that.
Refined texture, more even tone, a steadier glow — the kind of result you notice in your own bathroom mirror before anyone else comments on it.
Layered into the microneedling session you were already booking — no separate room, no second appointment, nothing extra to feel.
Skin tends to calm faster and look less raw — so the window between treatment and back-to-your-life shrinks.
PDGF+ is a single-layered add-on, but the visible change is cumulative. Here is how a typical first cycle moves.
Aura scan, photos, the carrier modality decided — usually microneedling or LaseMD. No blood draw to schedule around.
Carrier treatment, then PDGF+ layered onto the open surface. Day-after recovery typically feels quieter than a solo resurfacing visit.
Repeat at the carrier's natural cadence. Texture refines; fine lines start softening on photo comparison.
One to two paired visits a year to keep the fibroblast cue active — integrated with whatever else your skin plan asks for.
Honest answers about a regenerative add-on that doesn't ask anything extra of your visit.
PRF and PRP are autologous — we draw your blood, spin it, and apply what comes out. Ariessence is recombinant: a purified, lab-made copy of the same growth factor your platelets release. No blood draw, no spin, no autologous prep — and the dose is consistent visit to visit, which a blood draw can never be.
There's nothing extra to feel. The PDGF+ is applied topically while your microneedling channels are still open — so your day-after is whatever your microneedling day-after would have been. Usually 24 to 48 hours of pink, then back to your life.
The first thing most patients notice is recovery — calmer, less raw, quicker to settle. The visible texture and tone changes come in over two to three weeks and keep building through about week eight. It's the slow kind of result, not the dramatic kind.
It's possible to layer PDGF+ onto a laser resurfacing visit too — anything that creates micro-channels for delivery. What it isn't designed to do is sit on intact skin and absorb on its own — the channels are what carry it in.
Most plans build with a short series — typically three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart — then settle into one or two visits a year for maintenance. Your provider will map it against the rest of your skin program so the visits reinforce one another rather than overlap.
PDGF is a signal your own body uses every day to repair tissue — we're not introducing a foreign mechanism, just amplifying one. Because the protein is recombinant and highly purified, there's no donor-derived material and no risk of transmission. Side effects, when they occur, are tied to the microneedling, not the PDGF+.
PDGF+ is rarely the only modality in a plan — we map it against the rest of your skin program so the sessions reinforce one another.
