Our skin is the first line of defense in protecting our bodies from external factors – such as ultraviolet radiation, pollution, and certain lifestyle choices, as well as intrinsic factors like genetics and the natural aging process. Although skin is in a constant mode of renewing itself to fortify and preserve, eventually the process can slow down with age – leading to tangled up connective tissue that is dehydrated and chronically inflamed. Fortunately, Advanced PDGF+ Therapy treatments work to quickly and dramatically optimize the body’s natural healing cascade. This leads to glowing, healthy, and youthful-looking skin.
Below, our Seattle skin care expert, Dr. Kevan Petterson DNP ARNP, highlights how Ariessence Pure Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF+) can be a part of the change for revitalizing skin health, hair growth, and more.

PDGF+ is Powerful
PDGF+ is far superior to traditional growth factors, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), due to its pharmaceutical-grade formulation. Specifically, PDGF+ is 300,000 times more potent than the body’s natural growth factors. Unlike treatments derived from your own blood, which can vary in concentration and efficacy, PDGF+ therapy consistently provides a reliable dose and effect on every patient, every time. PDGF+ was designed using recombinant technology, like BOTOX® and insulin. PDGF+ is designed for enhanced efficacy and has a wider array of rejuvenative outcomes than other options.
In essence, Advanced PDGF+ Therapy can “untangle” damaged connective tissue, allowing the layers of the skin to become more flexible, retain better surface tension, and retain more moisture – as well as help them maintain higher percentages of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, like when we were younger. This rejuvenating effect can help the skin grow healthfully and optimally. Results unfold over an 8 – 12 week period; however, in many cases, you start seeing improvement to the tissue as soon as the first week.

PDGF+ Can Deliver Regenerative Aesthetics
Since PDGF+ is one of the body’s most powerful regenerative compounds, it plays a crucial role in promoting cell growth, tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and the formation of new blood vessels – all of which can contribute to enhanced aesthetic wellness. Additionally, Advanced PDGF+ Therapy can stimulate fibroblasts (cells that maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues) that in turn can produce collagen and elastin to strengthen skin and improve firmness over time.

PDGF+ Can Complement Neuromodulator Treatments
PDGF+ can complement neuromodulators like DAXXIFY™ and BOTOX® Cosmetic by enhancing the skin and tissue quality that we are relaxing. DAXXIFY™ and BOTOX® Cosmetic work by relaxing the underlying muscles that can give us wrinkles with animation (smiling and crow’s feet). As we age, we naturally lose volume and flexibility in the skin, leading to a smaller amount of muscle movement creating more wrinkles and lines. When PDGF+ helps to restore the healthy, bouncy, volume and flexibility of the skin, more improvement can be seen after your DAXXIFY™ or BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment takes effect.
Patients may mistakenly think that they are becoming immune to neuromodulator treatments over time. In reality, they are losing fat, skin thickness, skin hydration, and collagen as they sustain repetitive exposure to environmental traumas (like sun exposure and job stress) due to inflammation and tissue damage.
In treatment areas that overlap PDGF+ with neuromodulators (like the glabella, crow’s feet, and forehead lines), we recommend spacing the treatments out by a couple of weeks. This is only if you are specifically using PDGF+ in the area you usually get BOTOX® Cosmetic or DAXXIFY™ in. However, many patients will treat other areas of their face with PDGF+ at the same appointment they get their neuromodulators to optimize the amount of biorejuvenation they layer into their treatment plan.

PDGF+ Can Support Hair Restoration
PDGF+ is also highly effective for hair restoration. When injected into the scalp, it promotes cellular regeneration, stimulates hair follicles, and enhances scalp circulation, leading to denser hair growth and improved hair health. PDGF+ works to reverse the effects of hair thinning by activating dormant follicles and supporting hair regrowth. For those struggling with hair loss, PDGF+ can be combined with treatments like a prescription of minoxidil daily tablets to maximize results. Dr. Kevan will be happy to prescribe a yearly prescription of minoxidil for his patients undergoing hair restoration with PDGF+ at the time of treatment.

PDGF+ Can Accelerate Wound Healing
In addition to its aesthetic benefits, PDGF+ plays a crucial role in wound healing. It triggers a healing cascade, attracting the necessary cells to the injury site and promoting tissue repair. The growth factor helps reverse tissue damage, reduce inflammation, and minimize scarring, ensuring that the body heals efficiently. This effect is not only beneficial for post-procedure recovery, but also for chronic wounds or other skin imperfections.

PDGF+ Can Provide Non-Invasive Treatment
By using the body’s own healing system, Advanced PDGF+ Therapy offers significant aesthetic results without the need for invasive surgical procedures. Unlike PRP and PRF treatments, PDGF+ does not require blood draws, making it a simpler and more efficient process. It can deliver powerful, consistent results without the complexity of drawing and processing a patient’s blood, making it a more convenient option for those seeking effective skin and hair rejuvenation treatments.
