Advanced Regenerative Healing

Introduction to Ariessence Pure PDGF+ Treatment

As we age, our body’s natural ability to repair and renew itself slowly decreases, leading to changes in our skin’s texture, tone, and quality. Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is a regenerative treatment we offer clients that supports their skin’s healing process, helping them achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

​

At Ikon Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, MD, Dr. James Economides uses Ariessence Pure PDGF+ in customized treatment plans for patients in the Washington, D.C., area seeking skin rejuvenation and the best results from their procedures.

What is Ariessence Pure PDGF+ Treatment?

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is a topical treatment made with purified platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) that help the skin repair itself. It is often used after laser treatments, microneedling, and other skin procedures to support healing and improve skin quality.

​

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ helps boost collagen and tissue repair, which can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and give your skin a healthier, more radiant look. Since it is applied directly to the skin, it fits easily into many skin rejuvenation plans.

Combining My Ariessence Pure PDGF+ with Other Treatments

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is often added to some of our skin rejuvenation treatments to help clients heal faster and improve their results.

Applying Ariessence Pure PDGF+ following Fraxel® Dual laser resurfacing helps support the skin’s recovery while complementing improvements in tone, texture, and pigmentation.

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ Treatment Recovery

Immediately After Surgery

Recovery following Ariessence Pure PDGF+ largely depends on the procedure it accompanies, such as laser resurfacing or microneedling. You may experience mild redness, warmth, swelling, or sensitivity immediately afterward, but these effects are typically temporary. Follow your personalized aftercare instructions carefully, including using gentle skincare products and protecting your skin from sun exposure.

The First Week

As your skin begins to heal, any redness and sensitivity should continue to improve. Avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, harsh skincare products, and prolonged sun exposure while your skin recovers. Keeping your skin moisturized and wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily will help support the healing process.

Weeks 2-6

As tissue repair and collagen production continue, you’ll begin noticing smoother skin texture, improved tone, and a healthier overall complexion. These improvements develop gradually as your skin naturally renews itself.

Long-Term Results

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is designed to complement your primary rejuvenation treatment by supporting the skin’s natural healing response. Depending on your aesthetic goals, Dr. Economides may recommend incorporating it into future laser, microneedling, or other skin rejuvenation treatments to help optimize and maintain your results.

How Much Does Ariessence Pure PDGF+ Treatment Cost in Washington, D.C.?
