Before & Afters
Your best look is coming into focus
Hair thinning and shedding can happen for many reasons, including hormonal shifts, stress, genetics and even certain medications. While some causes are complex, many types of hair loss can be addressed without surgery.
At Pure 111 in Fairview Heights, IL, we’re excited to bring nonsurgical hair restoration options to the community we’ve proudly grown with over the years. What began as a one-woman practice in a backyard pool house has expanded into a dedicated medical aesthetic practice with a full team. We’re always looking for new ways to help patients regain what’s been lost, including their hair.
PDGF+ refers to platelet-derived growth factors that are bioidentical and lab-formulated for topical use. Their stability and consistency make them a useful addition to advanced regenerative hair and scalp care. We use Ariessence™ PDGF+ products, which are engineered to mimic the body’s own growth signals without requiring a blood draw. These products contain concentrated peptides and proteins that communicate directly with skin and follicle cells to support skin structure and renewal. Ariessence™ products can be applied after cosmetic procedures or used on their own.
We use Ariessence PDGF+ products because they give us a reliable option for stimulating hair regrowth, without needing to draw your blood or process anything in-office. Each product is made in a sterile, xeno-free environment, so we know exactly what we’re working with every time without guesswork and patient variability. The formula is pure, containing only four ingredients: water, sodium acetate, hyaluronic acid, and sh-polypeptide-59 dimer. It has more than 300,000 times more growth factors than other products, and it is pharmaceutical grade.
No Blood Draw
With PDGF+ hair restoration, there’s no blood draw, which means your appointment is quicker and more comfortable. You won’t need to worry about fasting or dealing with post-draw bruising. We can start the treatment right away without the added step of preparing platelet-rich plasma.
Consistent Results
Because PDGF+ is lab-formulated and sterile, it offers a level of consistency that patient-derived options like PRP can’t match. The blend of growth factors, peptides, and matrix proteins is the same every time, giving us better control over what we’re delivering to your scalp.
No Surgery or Grafts Required
Our approach uses growth factors rather than hair transplants. There are no incisions, stitches or long recoveries involved. Treatments are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour, which makes them much easier to fit into your schedule.
Supports Follicle Function and Scalp Health
PDGF+ treatments focus on improving the environment around your hair follicles. By delivering growth factors directly to the scalp, we can support healthier tissue and encourage more consistent follicle activity. A healthier scalp sets the foundation for better long-term results.
PDGF+ hair restoration may be a good fit for patients who are noticing thinning hair, shedding, or early-stage hair loss and want a non-surgical treatment without blood draws. It’s especially helpful for those looking for a more consistent alternative to PRP.
You may be a good candidate if you:
This treatment works well for both men and women with any skin type and can be combined with other therapies to support fuller, healthier hair. If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, we will help by assessing your scalp and hair health during your consultation.
Not all hair loss looks the same, and not every cause requires the same approach. That’s why we evaluate the condition of your scalp, the pattern of shedding, and any underlying factors before recommending treatment. PDGF+ can be useful for patients dealing with active thinning and those looking to prevent future loss. It can treat:
We start with a full evaluation of your scalp, hair density and shedding pattern. During this consultation, we ask detailed questions about your medical history, recent stress, medications, hormone changes and any other factors that could be contributing to your hair loss. If needed, we may recommend lab work. There is no cost for this consultation, and we take the time to explain what you can realistically expect based on your condition.
PDGF+ is applied topically to areas of thinning, shedding, or slowed growth. It’s often paired with other treatments like microneedling to help the growth factors penetrate more effectively. You will not need to prepare for your treatment ahead of time, which makes this a more convenient option for many patients.
You can return to work or other activities the same day, but avoid heavy sweating, wearing hats or washing your hair for the first 12 to 24 hours. Results take time, and we usually space treatments about a month apart to support healthy regrowth. Patients with thinning hair often need several sessions before noticing visible changes. We will monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed based on how your scalp responds.
With PDGF+ hair restoration, most patients begin to notice early improvements, like reduced shedding or a healthier scalp, within the first one to two months. You may see visible thickening and new growth around three to six months, depending on the extent of hair loss and how consistently treatments are spaced. The results will be gradual, with continued improvement as the follicle environment becomes more supportive of growth.
PDGF+ treatments give us a way to address hair restoration without surgery, supporting your body’s own ability to heal. Treatments are efficient, require minimal downtime and can be adjusted based on your scalp’s condition and response.

You may start with a series of treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. This gives your scalp time to respond to each session while maintaining momentum in the follicle stimulation process. After the initial series, we may recommend maintenance treatments, depending on how well your hair responds and whether the thinning stabilizes.
Because you will not need a blood draw, treatments with PDGF+ do not take as long. You can expect the application process to take 15-20 minutes, plus any additional time needed for consultation and treatment preparation.
You can wash your hair the next day using a gentle shampoo. We typically recommend waiting at least 12–24 hours to give the growth factors time to fully absorb into the scalp. Avoid using any harsh products, heat styling tools, or chemical treatments for a few days afterward. Keeping the scalp calm and clean will support better results.
These treatments work well for both male and female patients experiencing early to moderate hair thinning. Whether the cause is hormonal, age-related, or genetic, PDGF+ can help stimulate healthier follicles in a non-hormonal way. Men often experience thinning in specific locations, which is where we will focus our application. Women often have more diffuse thinning, so we may spread out the application more. We will customize our approach based on your scalp condition and pattern of thinning.
