Pure PDGF+ vs PRF EZ Gel: Why PDGF Wins for Aging Skin
If you're tired of looking in the mirror and seeing skin that doesn't match how vibrant you feel inside, you're not alone. As women over 40, we've earned every laugh line and expression mark – but that doesn't mean we have to settle for skin that's lost its bounce, smoothness, and glow.
Maybe you've heard about PRF EZGel and thought it sounded promising. After all, using your own blood to rejuvenate your skin seems natural and safe. But what if we told you there's something even better? Something that delivers more consistent, powerful results without the hassle and variables of a blood draw?
Enter Ariessence Pure PDGF+: the revolutionary treatment that's changing the game for women who want real results, not just hope.

Inside The Edit
What Is Ariessence Pure PDGF+?
Think of Ariessence Pure PDGF+ as the scientifically perfected version of what your body naturally produces to heal and regenerate skin. PDGF stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor. It's a powerful protein that signals your skin cells to repair, rebuild, and renew themselves.
While PRF EZ Gel relies on extracting these growth factors from your blood (with all the inconsistencies that come with that), Ariessence Pure PDGF+ delivers a laboratory-perfected, ultra-concentrated dose of the exact growth factors your aging skin craves most.
It's like comparing a homemade vitamin smoothie to a precisely formulated supplement designed by scientists – both might contain good ingredients, but one is engineered for maximum effectiveness.
Why We Love Ariessence™- And You Will Too!
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we've seen the transformation this treatment creates in women just like you. Here's what makes us passionate advocates for Pure PDGF+:
It Works Where Other Treatments Fall Short
Those stubborn under-eye bags, the crepey texture on your décolletage, the loss of elasticity in your cheeks – Pure PDGF+ tackles them all at the cellular level.
You See Real Results, Not Just Temporary Improvements
This isn't about masking problems; it's about actually regenerating your skin from within, for sustainable skin improvements you'll continue to see with time. Our patients describe it as the PDGF glow!
It Fits Into Your Busy Life
The entire procedure typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, making it ideal for women and men with busy schedules. You'll see an immediate improvement, with your full results emerging over the following days as any minor swelling naturally subsides.
Complimentary ConsultThe Benefits That Make Pure PDGF+ the Clear Winner
No Blood Draw Required
Let's be honest- nobody looks forward to having their blood drawn. With PRF EZ Gel, your results depend entirely on the quality of your blood that particular day. Are you well-hydrated? Did you get enough sleep? Are you fighting off a cold? All of these factors affect the potency of your PRF.
Pure PDGF+ eliminates this guesswork entirely. You get the same high-quality, potent treatment every single time, which means the same high-quality result every time.
Unmatched High Potency
While PRF EZ Gel gives you whatever growth factors your body happens to produce, Pure PDGF+ delivers a concentrated dose that's standardized for maximum effectiveness. It's like the difference between hoping for sunshine and having a reliable light source.
Consistency and Purity You Can Count On
Every vial of Ariessence Pure PDGF+ contains exactly what your skin needs, in exactly the right concentrations. No variables, no wondering if this session will be as effective as the last one.
Incredible Versatility
Whether you're concerned about those deepening lines around your eyes, loss of volume in your cheeks, or that frustrating crepey texture that's appeared on your neck and chest, Pure PDGF+ addresses it all.
Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results
Your busy life doesn't pause for beauty treatments. With Pure PDGF+, you might have some mild redness for a day or two, but that's it. You can literally come in during your lunch break and return to work.
How We're Using Ariessence™ at Awaken Medical Aesthetics
Wondering if cheek enhancement is right for you? Here are the telltale signs it may be time for a consultation with Kati:
Pure PDGF+ for Under-Eye Rejuvenation
That delicate under-eye area where concealer just doesn't cut it anymore? Pure PDGF+ stimulates collagen production in this tissue-thin skin, reducing fine lines, improving texture, and diminishing that tired look that seems to appear regardless of how much sleep you get.

Restoring Cheek Elasticity
Remember when your cheeks had that natural lift and fullness? Pure PDGF+ helps restore the underlying structure that gives your face its youthful contours, working from the inside out to rebuild what time has taken away.
Full Face Skin Retexturing
For comprehensive rejuvenation, Pure PDGF+ transforms your entire complexion, smoothing texture, minimizing pore appearance, and creating that enviable glow that comes from healthy, regenerating skin.

The Top Solution for Crepey Skin
If you've noticed that crepe-paper texture developing on your neck, décolletage, or other areas, you're not imagining things. This happens when the deeper layers of skin lose their structural integrity. Pure PDGF+ gets to work rebuilding this foundation.
Should You Choose Ariessence Pure PDGF+?
You're an ideal candidate if you:
- Are frustrated with skincare products that promise but don't deliver
- Want to address multiple skin concerns in one treatment
- Prefer treatments with scientific backing over trendy fads
- Value consistency and reliability in your beauty investments
- Value consistency and reliability in your beauty investments
- You are looking for natural-looking results, not an obviously "done" appearance
Are There Any Side Effects?
Pure PDGF+ is remarkably well-tolerated. You might experience mild redness or slight swelling for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Some clients actually love this "glow" because it signals that the regeneration process is beginning.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Most of our clients see beautiful results after just one treatment, but for optimal transformation, we typically recommend a series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Think of it as giving your skin the complete renewal it deserves.
Complimentary ConsultWhat to Expect During Your Ariessence PDGF+ Treatment
Your appointment with expert injector, Kati Howard, MSN, FNP, will take about 45-60 minutes. We'll start by thoroughly cleansing your skin, then apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Using precise microneedling techniques, we'll create optimal channels for the Pure PDGF+ to penetrate deeply.
You'll feel the microneedling as a mild scratching sensation – most clients find it quite tolerable, especially knowing the incredible results that follow.
Investment in Your Best Skin
Pure PDGF+ treatments range from $400-$800 per session, depending on the treatment area and your specific goals. While this represents a higher initial investment than some alternatives, our clients consistently tell us it's the best money they've spent on their skin.
Consider this: how much have you spent on skincare products that promised transformation but delivered disappointment? Pure PDGF+ actually delivers what those products promise.
The Results That Will Make You Fall in Love with Your Reflection Again
Within the first week, you'll notice your skin looks more radiant and feels smoother. By week three, fine lines start softening, and your skin texture improves noticeably. The full transformation continues developing for 3-6 months as your skin rebuilds itself from within.
Our patients report:
- Dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Restored firmness and elasticity
- A natural, healthy glow that doesn't require makeup to achieve
- A total confidence boost and general satisfaction with their skin's appearance
How Long Do the Results Last?
Here's the beautiful truth about Pure PDGF+: because it's actually regenerating your skin rather than just temporarily improving its appearance, results can last 12-18 months or even longer with proper skincare maintenance.
Ready to Give Your Skin What It Really Needs?
You've tried the creams, the serums, maybe even some treatments that promised more than they delivered. Isn't it time to invest in something that actually works at the level where real change happens?
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we've seen Pure PDGF+ transform not just skin, but confidence. When you look in the mirror and love what you see, it changes everything – how you carry yourself, how you feel in photos, how you show up in the world.
While others are still drawing blood and hoping for good results with PRF EZ Gel, you could be experiencing the consistent, powerful transformation that only Pure PDGF+ delivers.
Your skin has been waiting for this breakthrough. The question is: are you ready to give it what it's been asking for?
