*Immediately post-treatment and just 24 hours later — this patient’s skin already shows a calmer, more radiant appearance thanks to PDGF with microneedling.
If you’ve ever looked into regenerative treatments, you’ve probably heard of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). It’s been used in aesthetics for years as a way to harness your body’s natural healing factors. But now, we’re offering a next-generation option at Prejuvenation Aesthetics in Leesburg, VA: Ariessence™ PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor).
What is PDGF?
Growth factors are proteins your body naturally produces that act like “signals” for repair—telling cells to make collagen, form new blood vessels, and heal tissue. PDGF is one of the most important of these signals.
With Ariessence™ Pure PDGF+, we’re able to deliver this growth factor in a concentrated, pharmaceutical-grade form that’s 1,000–3,000 times stronger than what’s found in PRP. Unlike PRP, which depends on the quality of your own blood that day, PDGF is lab-made through a highly regulated process, so it’s consistent, sterile, and potent every time.
Think of PRP as relying on whatever your body provides that day, while PDGF is like receiving a pharmaceutical-grade “booster” that works every time.
Why Patients Love PDGF
Prejuvenation Aesthetics in Leesburg, VA offers PDGF in three ways:
- Topically with microneedling: After creating tiny microchannels in the skin, PDGF is applied so it penetrates deeply. Patients love that their skin recovers faster—often with minimal redness just 1–2 days later. One of our patients had microneedling with PDGF, and by day two her skin looked calm, smooth, and ready to go out without makeup (see photo).
- Injectable use: PDGF can also be injected in areas where the skin is thinning or especially delicate—such as the under-eye region. This makes it an excellent option for fragile areas that often need extra support.
- Hair restoration: PDGF may also be injected into the scalp to nourish hair follicles and support natural growth. Patients appreciate that it is non-surgical and helps improve both hair density and overall scalp health.
What Can PDGF Improve?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin texture and acne scars
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Improves under-eye hollows, dark circles, and skin crepiness
- General collagen + elastin support
- Hair loss or thinning hair
Because PDGF targets the specific pathways for healing and collagen production, it works beautifully in combination with skin rejuvenating treatments like microneedling or alone as an injectable..
Why Choose PDGF Over PRP?
While PRP is still a great option, PDGF is often preferred for:
- Faster healing with less redness and downtime
- More consistent, predictable results
- Stronger collagen stimulation thanks to its concentrated formula
- No blood draw required, making it easier and quicker in-office
In other words, if PRP is the “first generation” of regenerative treatments, PDGF is the refined upgrade—more targeted, more reliable, and more convenient.
