Ariessence Pure PDGF+ injections deliver a lab-made growth factor into the skin to signal repair and new collagen, which can soften the look of rough texture, acne scarring, and mild laxity over several weeks, without adding volume or changing how your face moves. If your skin looks tired in a way that good serums and regular facials don’t address, this treatment fills that gap.
At Posh Aesthetics in Myrtle Beach, SC, Ariessence® Pure PDGF+ is a newer addition to our injectable menu, and it works differently from filler and wrinkle relaxers, so it is worth understanding first.
What Is Ariessence Pure PDGF+?
Ariessence® Pure PDGF+ is a sterile solution built on four ingredients: water, sodium acetate, hyaluronic acid, and sh-polypeptide-59 dimer. That last one is the cosmetic ingredient name for recombinant PDGF-BB, or platelet-derived growth factor, a signaling protein your body already produces.
Recombinant is the word worth pausing on. It means the protein is made in a controlled manufacturing setting from a human gene sequence, not pulled from blood or donor tissue. No blood draw, no centrifuge, no waiting while a sample spins down. Every vial has the same concentration, unlike other growth factor injections for skin that depend on whatever your platelets deliver that day.
How Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Works In The Skin
PDGF is one of your body’s first responders. When tissue is injured, platelets release it at the site, sending a specific signal: bring in the cells that rebuild.
In practice, that means recruiting fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen, and supporting new microvasculature so the area has better blood supply while it repairs. A PDGF+ skin treatment doesn’t fill space or relax muscle. It prompts your skin cells to do work they already know how to do.
The hyaluronic acid earns its place too. It adds immediate hydration and helps carry the protein into treated tissue instead of leaving it on the surface.
What Improving Skin Quality Actually Means
Skin quality is separate from skin volume and skin movement, and keeping the three straight makes everything else easier.
Volume is about structure, where the face has lost fullness. Movement is about expression lines. Quality is everything else: tone, texture, firmness, hydration, and how evenly light reflects off the surface. When someone says their skin looks dull or rough in photos, they usually mean quality.
Because collagen and elastin remodel gradually, changes build over weeks rather than showing up the day of your appointment. Most patients report smoother texture and a healthier look, and some notice older scarring softening, which is why it comes up as an acne scar treatment option. Individual response varies, and a quick assessment with our team is what determines whether it is a reasonable fit.
How Ariessence Compares To PRP, Fillers, And Neurotoxins
These comparisons come up in nearly every consultation. Run them side by side, since each does something different.
Compared To Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP concentrates platelets from your own blood, so the dose shifts by person and by draw. Ariessence® delivers a fixed concentration without a blood draw. Both aim at the same biological pathway, so the difference is consistency and preparation, not category.
Compared To Dermal Filler
Hyaluronic acid dermal filler adds structure and volume where you place it, and the change shows right away. A growth factor solution changes how skin behaves over time and does not reshape the face.
Compared To Neurotoxin
Neurotoxin, which includes Botox®, softens dynamic rhytides, the lines produced by repeated expression. A skin regeneration treatment works on skin quality and leaves your expressions alone.
Where Ariessence Fits Alongside Other Treatments
Most often, this is paired with something that has already put the skin into a repair state. Microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling, and fractional laser all create controlled micro-injury, and that active repair window is why we pair Ariessence Pure PDGF+ injections with resurfacing. New to that side of things? Start with what microneedling does to the skin or the laser resurfacing options at Posh.
Your provider will say whether it makes more sense on its own or layered into something already scheduled. The full breakdown of how Ariessence injections work at Posh Aesthetics covers the appointment itself.
Common Questions About Ariessence Pure PDGF+
How soon will I notice anything?
Some people see a healthier look within the first week or two. The collagen side builds gradually over a month or more, and results vary.
Does it hurt?
Most patients tolerate it well. We typically use a topical numbing cream, and mild swelling or redness usually settles within a few days.
Is this the same as PRP?
No. Both use the same repair pathway, but Ariessence comes in a fixed concentration and doesn’t require a blood draw.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and it frequently is. Pairing it with microneedling or laser is one of the most common requests from patients researching regenerative skin treatment options in Myrtle Beach.
Ready To See What Your Skin Can Do On Its Own?
Ariessence® Pure PDGF+ improves skin quality by signaling your own cells to rebuild collagen, changing how your skin looks and behaves without changing your face’s shape. That puts it in a different category from filler and wrinkle relaxers, and it’s worth considering if what bothers you is texture, older acne scarring, or lost firmness.
Whether this suits you depends on your skin, what you have already tried, and whether pairing it with microneedling or laser beats running it alone. A provider can answer that in one short conversation. If you have been looking into Ariessence injections in Myrtle Beach, SC, providers offer to start there.
