Collagen stimulation is exciting—downtime, a little less so. Ariessence™ is the next-generation boost we add to SkinPen® microneedling or 1540 laser treatments to shorten redness, soften scars faster, and leave skin visibly plumper. It contains a pure, potent, and proven form of PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor). Combined with microneedling, Ariessence can reduce your down time, boost collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid—the three pillars of youthful skin—for a noticeable glow!

Ariessence is available only as an add-on to SkinPen microneedling or 1540 laser treatments at True Beauty Aesthetics.

What makes Ariessence special?

Most growth-factor products rely on mixed protein cocktails or patient-drawn blood (PRP). Ariessence isolates a single, highly studied signal protein, PDGF-BB, then bioengineers it for stability and purity.

  • Pure: No blood draw, no animal derivatives, zero preservatives
  • Powerful: Can help stimulate collagen I & III, elastin, and dermal hyaluronic acid production
  • Proven: Clinical studies support faster healing and enhanced collagen production

Because the growth factors kick in right from the start, your skin begins to glow quickly, and the smoothing benefits keep building over time.

Treatment Areas

While the face is the most popular treatment area, Ariessence can be worked into the neck, décolletage, hands, and even stretch-mark zones on your abdomen or hips.

Your Visit: How Ariessence Fits In

  1. Numbing & cleansing (standard SkinPen or laser skin treatment prep)
  2. Microneedling passes tailored by zone
  3. Ariessence infusion: The sterile serum is dripped onto the micro-channels and lightly needled once more for maximum penetration
  4. Take-home ampoule so you can apply the remaining dose that night and the next morning, extending the growth-factor window

The total add-on time is about five minutes.

After-Care & Recovery

Because PDGF accelerates skin renewal and repair, many patients notice:

  • Post-microneedling pinkness fading within 24-36 hours (vs. 48+ hrs)
  • Less “sand-paper” feel on days 2-3
  • An even earlier glow—often by day 3 instead of day 5

Standard microneedling and laser rules still apply: Use a mineral SPF, no makeup for 24 hours, and gentle cleanser for two nights.

Expected Results & Timeline

The results after a skin treatment with Ariessence will vary slightly for each individual, but here is a general timeline of the results you can expect:

  • Immediate: Dewy bounce once redness subsides
  • 2-4 Weeks: Smoother texture; fine lines soften
  • 12 Weeks: Peak collagen remodeling; scars and pores visibly shrink

For best results, a three-session series delivers cumulative collagen gains, and annual “maintenance” treatments can help maintain momentum and improve the longevity of your results.

Safety & Side Effects

Ariessence is bio-identical and preservative-free, eliminating allergen risk tied to many serum additives. Mild warmth or transient redness is expected, but fades quickly. 

Popular Treatment Pairings

Microneedling with Ariessence is transformative on its own, but many of our Mount Pleasant medical spa patients love to combine it with other treatments to enjoy additional benefits:

  • DiamondGlow® facial one week before your first microneedling + Ariessence session to clear congestion
  • Botox® / Daxxify® two weeks after to smooth dynamic wrinkles atop newly refined skin

Frequently Asked Questions about Ariessence™

No. PRP requires drawing your blood, spinning it, and hoping your growth-factor concentration is high enough. Ariessence delivers a pharmaceutically consistent dose of the star signaling protein (PDGF-BB) every single time, without needles in your arm.

Yes. Because it contains no light or heat energy, Ariessence is safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI and especially beneficial for darker complexions seeking laser-free collagen stimulation.

Human growth-factor testing in pregnancy is limited. We postpone microneedling and Ariessence until after delivery but offer pregnancy-safe facials to keep your glow going.

The water-light serum absorbs fully within minutes and is non-comedogenic. In fact, faster barrier repair may help reduce post-treatment breakouts.

No, though for optimal results we do recommend Ariessence with every treatment in your initial three-session series. Annual refreshers can include or omit it based on your goals and budget.
