Ariessence PDGF+ Growth Factor Treatment in Redondo Beach & Costa Mesa
Welcome to Beauty Cult in Redondo Beach and Costa Mesa, where we offer Ariessence Pure PDGF+, a topical growth factor treatment applied alongside microneedling to support your skin's healing and regeneration process. Our goal is to help you get more out of every microneedling session, not just add a product on top of it.
With Ariessence, we're dedicated to giving your skin the signals it needs to heal faster and rebuild more completely. As a trusted hub for advanced regenerative skincare, we invite you to explore the benefits of Ariessence in our serene and welcoming South Bay and Orange County practices.
What is Ariessence?
Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is a topical treatment built around pharmaceutical-grade Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), combined with hyaluronic acid, and applied during microneedling at Beauty Cult. PDGF is one of the body's most potent natural drivers of tissue repair — the same signaling protein your body releases during the healing process to direct cell repair and regeneration. When applied topically through the micro-channels created by microneedling, it can reach deeper into the skin than it would on unbroken skin alone.
Because it's lab-formulated rather than derived from a blood draw, Ariessence delivers a consistent, concentrated dose of PDGF every time, unlike PRP, which varies based on the individual's own blood. It's used specifically to enhance and accelerate the results of microneedling, supporting the skin's natural repair response rather than replacing it. A consultation with Dr. Clara Yu is recommended to determine whether adding Ariessence to your microneedling session is right for your skin.
How Does It Work / How Does It Compare to Others?
Ariessence works by amplifying the signals your skin already sends itself during the healing process, using a concentrated, lab-formulated dose of PDGF.
First, microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, which both stimulates your body's own repair response and opens a path for topical treatments to penetrate more deeply.
Second, the Ariessence PDGF+ serum is applied directly to the treated skin, where it's absorbed through those micro-channels into the deeper layers.
Because PDGF is the same signaling protein your body naturally uses to direct healing, applying a concentrated, consistent dose topically at the moment your skin is primed to receive it tends to support faster, more complete recovery and can enhance the collagen-building effects of microneedling itself.
What are the Benefits of Ariessence?
Ariessence offers benefits that build directly on what microneedling already does, giving your skin extra support at the exact moment it's working hardest to repair itself. Because it works with the skin's own healing signals, the improvement in recovery and results tends to compound with each session.
One of the most significant benefits of adding Ariessence to your microneedling session is how it shortens visible downtime while improving outcomes. It aids in:
Supporting faster, more complete healing after microneedling.
Reducing visible redness and irritation during recovery.
Enhancing the collagen-building effects of your microneedling session.
Improving overall skin texture and tone over a treatment series.
Working with your skin's own natural repair signals rather than against them.
Making each microneedling session more effective without adding real downtime.

Before & Afters
ariessence
Does adding Ariessence to microneedling hurt?
Ariessence itself is applied topically and doesn't add discomfort beyond what you'd feel from microneedling alone, which is generally well tolerated with topical numbing available.
How is Ariessence different from a regular post-procedure serum, or from PRP?
Ariessence is formulated around pharmaceutical-grade PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) plus hyaluronic acid, rather than simply moisturizing or soothing the surface after treatment. Unlike PRP, which is drawn from your own blood and varies in concentration, Ariessence is lab-formulated for a consistent, concentrated dose every time, with no blood draw required.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most patients notice smoother recovery after their first session, with texture and tone improvements building over a series of two to three microneedling sessions.
How much does adding Ariessence cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment area and how many sessions your plan includes, and will be discussed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Yu.
How long do results last?
Because Ariessence supports your skin's own healing and collagen response, improvements tend to build cumulatively across a treatment series, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain results.
