Prolong Your Summer Glow: The Power of Microneedling with Purasomes

As the summer tan fades, you might be looking at ways to help maintain or extend that beautiful healthy glow.  Most people find that their skin is better in the summer, but there are a number of reasons for this.  Vitamin D, humidity, and more physical activity are a few contributors. The aesthetic benefits of the sun provide short term gain, but over time can do a lot of damage to the skin. As we lose the tan, the quality of our skin is more apparent. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can affect the elasticity of our skin making it look saggy and wrinkled over time.

What we do for our skin externally greatly impacts its quality. A healthy skin barrier is essential for allowing beneficial nutrients to penetrate while keeping out harmful substances like chemicals, bacteria, and UV rays. While many facials can refresh our skin temporarily, some therapeutic options continue to deliver results long after the treatment. Microneedling, in combination with Purasomes, is one such advanced treatment.

Microneedling works with your body’s natural healing processes to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing dullness, sagging, and fine lines for brighter, smoother skin. When paired with Purasomes—a powerful European-manufactured combination of 20 billion exosomes and 20 potent growth factors derived from bovine colostrum—the treatment is taken to the next level. These exosomes, which are nano vesicles carrying cell-specific cargo like lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, penetrate the skin deeply through the microchannels created by Microneedling. This enhances cellular regeneration, resets cellular activity, and delays the aging process by promoting intracellular communication and remodeling the extracellular matrix. The growth factors in Purasomes further support cellular proliferation, inflammation modulation, and tissue repair, making the skin look more vibrant and youthful. This combination not only expedites healing but also addresses pigmentation issues and boosts the overall effectiveness of Microneedling, providing profound, long-lasting results. There are three main formulations of Purasomes: Skin Nutri Complex, Skin Glow Complex and Hair and Scalp Complex.

Here are some of the top questions we get about Microneedling and Purasomes:

Does it hurt?

• The treatment is very comfortable.  We have you come into the clinic to apply numbing cream in advance of your treatment.

What are the beneficial effects of Microneedling?

• Improves skin barrier function- sloughs off dead layer, creates microchannels for the delivery of moisture and active ingredients. The epidermis (top layer) of the skin tends to thin with age, which results in reduced elasticity, more wrinkles, and potential uneven tone. Microneedling helps thicken this layer.
• Stimulates collagen (plumping) and elastin (elasticity)
• Skin tightening/lifting, pore minimization

What are the benefits of combining Microneedling with Purasomes for skin treatment?

• Combining Microneedling with Purasomes amplifies the benefits of each treatment. Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, allowing Purasomes, which contain 20 billion exosomes and potent growth factors, to penetrate deeply. This enhances cellular regeneration, boosts collagen production, and accelerates healing. Depending on the specific Purasomes product used, benefits can include improved skin complexion, reduced pigmentation, increased skin brightness, and enhanced hydration and elasticity.

How does the Skin Glow Complex (SGC100+) work when used with Microneedling?

• The Skin Glow Complex (SGC100+) is designed to rebuild flawless skin complexion by delivering a combination of exosomes, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants through the microchannels created by Microneedling. This synergistic approach brightens the skin, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin radiance. The concentrated stable Vitamin C derivative and Lumina Granatum seed stem cells in SGC100+ further promote a brighter and more even skin tone.

Can Microneedling with Purasomes help with pigmentation issues?

• Yes, combining Microneedling with Purasomes, specifically the Reverse formulation, can significantly reduce unwanted pigmentation. This product inhibits melanin synthesis and melano transport, reducing pigment formation and targeting conditions like melasma and solar lentigeni. The microchannels from Microneedling allow these active ingredients to penetrate deeply, enhancing the treatment’s effectiveness.

What results can I expect from using the Skin Nutri Complex (NC150+) with Microneedling?

• The Skin Nutri Complex (NC150+) is formulated to re-architect “tired” skin by amplifying cellular performance and reprogramming cells to a more youthful state. When used with Microneedling, it repairs the skin’s deepest layers, supports collagen formation, and improves skin firmness and elasticity. Clinical results have shown significant improvements in skin thickness, brightness, hydration, and elasticity within weeks.

How does the Hair & Scalp Complex work with Microneedling for hair loss treatment?

• The Hair & Scalp Complex is designed to target hair follicles with bioactive elements that reset and recharge hair bulbs, stop hair loss, and promote new hair growth. Microneedling enhances the delivery of these ingredients, improving the scalp’s absorption of growth factors, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamins. Patients can expect stronger, denser, and thicker hair with improved scalp health.

How often do I have to repeat the treatment?

• Initially, 3 treatments should be done spaced 4-6 weeks apart.  This helps compound the effects of each individual treatment.  Each individual treatment will continue to produce results, improving skin quality over the following 90 days. Maintenance treatments should optimally be done every 3-6 months.  More can be done if treating a specific concern, such as acne scarring for example.

How long do the effects last?

• The effects of Microneedling with Purasomes continue to improve over 3-4 months as cell turnover increases. However, you may notice the benefits lasting up to 9-12 months, depending on the condition being treated and its underlying cause. For optimal, long-lasting results, it’s important to address all aspects of health that influence skin quality.

Is there anyone who shouldn’t get Microneedling?

• While Microneedling is a very safe procedure, it can not be tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women.  For this reason, it is contraindicated in these states.
• Microneedling can not be done if there is any active local infection, due to risk of spread.

What can I expect directly after the treatment?

• Some redness and slight swelling (similar to a sunburn) for 24-48 hours.  There is potential to have light bruising in some areas.
• New fresh skin is more vulnerable, and should be protected from sun for 2 weeks following treatment (and ALWAYS).

Remember that healthy skin is the best baseline for everything else you do for your skin.  Whether you want to wear makeup, or have botox or fillers, your results will be that much better when the quality of your skin is optimized. It is worth the investment for its long-term benefits, as well as its ability to minimize the need for other treatments. If you have any questions about your skin health, or Microneedling specifically, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help!
