Reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin with PDGF, an advanced growth factor formula used as the glide during microneedling to improve visible redness, dryness, rough texture, and fine lines. At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we personalize every treatment to support a radiant complexion.
Amplify Your Microneedling Results Naturally
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a naturally occurring signaling protein involved in your body’s normal repair processes. It essentially instructs cells on where to go and what to do as your skin responds to the controlled micro-channels created during microneedling. Applied as the glide throughout your session, these signals are present when your skin is most receptive.
At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we use Ariessence® Pure PDGF+, a topical formula with recombinant PDGF and hydrating hyaluronic acid. Unlike PRP or PRF, it requires no blood draw and contains no human-derived components. We glide it across the skin as we treat, and it can also be used in a targeted approach for the delicate under-eye area.

- Rough or uneven skin texture

How PDGF Works
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting a natural repair response. Used as the glide for your session, Ariessence Pure PDGF+ delivers recombinant platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a laboratory-produced signaling protein that acts like a messenger, encouraging skin cells to support renewal. Combined with hyaluronic acid to attract moisture, this formula helps enhance the appearance of recovery, reduce visible downtime, and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.
FAQs
Is PDGF the Same as PRP or PRF?
Not exactly. While all three approaches involve growth factors that support the skin’s natural renewal process, Ariessence Pure PDGF+ uses a purified, recombinant platelet-derived growth factor rather than growth factors obtained from your own blood. That means no blood draw, no processing, and a consistent, comfortable application during your procedure.
How is PDGF Used During Microneedling?
Rather than being applied afterward, PDGF serves as the glide for your session. The formula sits on the skin as the microneedling device passes over it, keeping treatment comfortable while placing growth factor support where the micro-channels are created.
Can PDGF Be Used Around My Eyes?
The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate. PDGF can be incorporated into a targeted under-eye approach as part of your customized plan, addressing the appearance of crepey texture, dryness, and fine lines.
Will PDGF Reduce My Downtime?
Many patients choose PDGF because it helps reduce the visible downtime associated with microneedling. While everyone’s skin heals differently, the goal is to support a smoother recovery experience and help your skin look refreshed sooner.
Can I Receive PDGF by Itself?
PDGF is generally formulated to work alongside treatments like microneedling, RF microneedling, laser skin resurfacing, or chemical peels rather than as a standalone service. We’ll help you determine the best combination for achieving your desired results.
