Ariessence is a sterile, recombinant-grade formula that delivers platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB). It contains up to 300,000 times more growth factor concentration than PRP, PRF, or exosomes, making it significantly more effective and consistent than patient-derived options.

Unlike PRP, Ariessence does not require a blood draw and has zero biological variability. It contains only four ingredients—water, sodium acetate, hyaluronic acid, and PDGF-BB—making it both safe and effective for nearly all skin types and tones. Each application delivers the same level of performance, regardless of a patient’s age, health status, or hydration level.

Ariessence is ideal for patients seeking enhanced results from microneedling, laser treatments, chemical peels, and other aesthetic services. It speeds recovery, reduces inflammation, and supports the skin’s natural regeneration process. Patients often see improvement in skin texture, hydration, elasticity, and tone, along with a reduction in fine lines, scarring, and discoloration. When used with scalp microneedling, it may also help stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve hair density.

This treatment is ideal for those who want a safe, non-invasive alternative to PRP and exosomes with reliable results. Most patients benefit from a series of three to six treatments spaced several weeks apart.
