Ariessence Pure PDGF+ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each visit last?
Treatment times vary depending on the area(s) treated and whether you’re combining Ariessence with microneedling, laser therapy, or injections. Generally, we ask you to reserve about 60–90 minutes for the appointment.
How many treatments will I need?
Optimal results typically require 3–6 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will create a custom schedule based on your unique skin or hair needs.
What does the treatment feel like?
Most patients experience mild discomfort—similar to a gentle prickling sensation, especially during microneedling. A topical anesthetic is available to ensure you remain comfortable.
What will happen after the treatment?
Mild redness or swelling is common for a day or two. You’ll notice steadily improving skin tone and texture over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up. If you’re targeting hair growth, initial improvements in hair strength may be seen within 4 weeks.
