The Lasting Effects of PDGF: Flawless Skin Made Easy

Have you ever been told that looking permanently tired (even when you’re not) is unfixable? Seeing referral after referral, and all you get is a shrug and are told that “It’s just bad genetics,” while you keep begging for help in not looking like a raccoon every day. And it feels like you’ve tried everything. From putting coffee grounds on under your eyes, to $100+ eye masks and getting 10+ hours of sleep. Regardless of the critically acclaimed home remedy, it never works. Well, PDGF is changing the game when it comes to battling these pesky, “unfixable” dark under-eyes.

Ariessence PDGF is a lab-formulated growth factor that is bio-identical to our own growth factors. It essentially jumpstarts your body’s own collagen and healing response. It can be used as both a topical cream and injectable.

Topical use is best for everyday, minimally invasive application, and it takes just a few seconds to apply. A topical use of PDGF will address surface-level skin concerns, which for many can be more than enough.

Injectable use of PDGF offers a direct penetration into the skin. This helps target specific areas of concern, and work on a deeper level. In places like under the eyes, injections can be most effective.

One of the key aspects of getting PDGF, are the other-worldly results seen in the under-eye / tear trough focus. This means you can throw away the used tea bags and stop putting them on your face at night (while tea is great, it won’t cure your dark eye circles!). With this particular area being often difficult to achieve desired results in, PDGF has shown significant success in:

• Brightening & firming
• Boosting collagen & skin density
• Reducing fine lines & crepey texture
• No distortion or swelling
• Being a natural alternative to filler

Due to its cellular-level healing and regeneration, PDGF can also be used for hair restoration and post-treatment applications. For treatments such as microneedling and lasers, PDGF can help reduce downtime by minimizing redness, accelerating healing times, and more. When paired with your usual treatment, PDGF can create longer-lasting and more efficient results that you’ll love.

When debating why PDGF might be a better option for you, it’s important to look at the different treatments as a whole. Take a look at this side-by-side comparison of PDGF to similar treatments like PRF, PRP, and EZ Gel.

Considering if you are a good candidate for any treatment you’re interested in is always important. Taking a look at your expectations, and how a treatment can help you achieve those, is crucial to ensuring you will be happy with your results.

If you want to ditch the overly priced eye patches for dark eye circles, PDGF could be your new best friend. Is the idea of filler under your eyes a little too much? PDGF’s the way to go. If you have dark, hollow under-eyes and just can’t seem to get rid of them, chances are you are a great candidate for PDGF!

Other expectations such as subtle, real skin improvements and nearly no downtime can also be met with PDGF.

Always consult with your provider for further discussion on if PDGF could be for you.

An appointment for PDGF is similar to an appointment for Botox. It typically takes between 15-30 minutes per session. A series of 3-6 injections is recommended for best results, though it can vary depending on the person. You can also combine PDGF with other treatments that you might already be getting such as microneedling, BBL, and more. A collagen production cycle can take between 2-4 weeks, making the full results from PDGF average at about 8 weeks.

Since PDGF is naturally occurring in the body and nothing artificial is being added, risks and side effects are on the lower end. However, as with everything in medical aesthetics, there is always the potential for some. The most commonly reported side effect is temporary minor swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Consult with your provider if you are concerned about other risks and side effects.
