The New Trend Taking Over Aesthetic Medicine: The Healing Power of Purasomes
Purasomes essentially are non-human cell derived exosomes, coming from ethically sourced Holstein cow’s milk colostrum from certified organic farms in Italy. They are minute entities that have grabbed the attention of scientists and medical professionals for their significant potential in healing and rejuvenation.
Purasomes, short for "purifying exosomes," are a groundbreaking subset of exosomes that can be harnessed from bovine colostrum (cow’s milk) to provide a therapeutic and transformative treatment. While human derived exosomes continue to be researched, their use is currently illegal in the UK and Europe. Their origins can be traced to the recognition of exosomes' role in cell-to-cell communication and their ability to transfer biologically active molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, from one cell to another. These communication vesicles were initially discovered in the 1980s, but their therapeutic potential has only recently come to the forefront of medical research and cosmetic practices.
Situated in the prestigious medical district in Marylebone, the Harley Street Specialist Hospital is one such practice. Serving both local and international patients seeking top-notch medical services, including but not limited to cosmetic procedures. Here I had the pleasure to meet with Dr Anoob Pakkar-Hull, a Medical Aesthetic Consultant who offers a wide range of aesthetic treatments, and who is an undisputed expert in aesthetic medicine. Having undergone Aesthetics training in the UK and internationally, Dr Pakkar-Hull obtained the Diploma in Aesthetics from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, as well as the Board certification (their highest qualification).
His expertise and care for patients was evident on the day of my appointment. Dr Pakkar-Hull explained the treatment to me, describing how Purasomes are incorporated into micro needling, amplifying the benefits of both.
Whilst microneedling involves the use of a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can result in improved skin texture and appearance. Purasomes, on the other hand, serve as messengers of healing, transferring vital information and resources to target cells, tissues, and organs. Unlike traditional therapies, which often rely on external substances or chemicals, Purasomes are an elegant and natural means of promoting regeneration within the body. The exosomes were ethically sourced from certified organic farms in Italy and ultra-purified to ensure their therapeutic efficacy. These microscopic vesicles are filled with bioactive molecules that are finely tuned to trigger specific cellular responses. Once administered into the skin, they navigate through the bloodstream and precisely deliver their cargo to damaged or aging cells, stimulating repair and regeneration.
The treatment has multiple reported benefits, including:
Cellular Regeneration: Twenty billion exosomes and 20 of the most potent growth factors enter the skin and stimulate collagen, creating new cells, and helping with a process known as angiogenesis (i.e. the creation of new blood vessels) to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin.
Anti-Inflammatory: The process stimulates anti-inflammatory action that calms the skin in the long-run. Helping with redness and keeping the skin looking youthful.
Minimally Invasive: One of the most remarkable aspects of Purasome treatment is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike surgical procedures, Purasomes are administered topically following microneedling, making them a safer and less traumatic option for patients.
Versatility: The therapeutic potential of Purasomes is vast, ranging from promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation to regenerating new blood vessel formation within the skin matrix. It also has a pivotal role in promoting new collagen formation via stimulation of fibroblasts formation within the skin.
Immediately post-treatment, redness is to be expected. Skin sensitivity is also normal. Fortunately, the downtime for the treatment is minimal, and individuals are able to return to their usual skincare routine after 48 hours. You can start to see the real results after a full skin cycle has passed, about 28 days. It is recommended to repeat the treatment three times in the space of three months to harness the full benefit.
With an array of benefits, Purasomes are making the way for a skin revolution. As our understanding of these remarkable exosomes deepens, the potential for innovative and transformative treatments continues to expand. With ongoing research and clinical trials, Purasomes are poised to redefine the future of healthcare and cosmetic procedures. And, with Dr Pakkar-Hull of Harley Street Specialist Hospital at the helm of exciting new treatments incorporating their power, we are sure to expect many great things to come.
