Ariessence Pure PDGF in Houston

PDGF stands for platelet-derived growth factor. It is one of several proteins your body produces in the early phase of wound healing. PDGF signals fibroblasts to migrate to the injured area, multiply, and start producing new collagen and extracellular matrix. It is one of the primary reasons your skin repairs itself after any kind of micro-injury.

The Ariessence preparation delivers concentrated, pure PDGF topically. By applying it during the window when the skin is actively asking for healing signals (immediately after microneedling, for example), we amplify the natural repair response.

Most often: immediately after a Promoitalia microneedling pass. The microneedling has just created hundreds of microchannels into the dermis; applying PDGF at that moment lets it penetrate deeper than a serum ever could on intact skin.

Also: after certain medium-depth chemical peels, where the freshly peeled surface benefits from accelerated repair signaling.

Less often: as a take-home topical between treatment sessions for patients with sensitive or compromised skin that needs ongoing support.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is your own blood, centrifuged to concentrate platelets and growth factors. It is variable patient-to-patient based on your platelet count and platelet quality. Some patients have great PRP; others have weaker PRP.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles harvested from stem cells. They carry a broader signaling payload than any single growth factor.

Ariessence Pure PDGF is exactly what it sounds like: a single, well-characterized growth factor at a consistent concentration. The advantage is predictability. Every application delivers the same dose. The trade-off is narrower signaling than exosomes provide.

In practice I use all three depending on what we are doing and the patient. PDGF is my reliable workhorse for post-procedure topical application.
