LATEST STEM CELL INNOVATIONS
treatment uses tiny needles to create
very small, pore-like holes in the skin.
This procedure stimulates the natural
self-healing abilities of the skin, as well
as boosts production of collagen and
elastin. The treatment is very effective
with results that last for years.
Unlike with some acne treatments or
cosmetic procedures, microneedling does
not destroy skin. The tiny holes heal very
rapidly, as the skin immediately starts its
healing response.
You can also rejuvenate your skin with
a treatment derived directly from your
own blood. PRP encourages your body
to use its own processes more effectively
in areas that need repair or rejuvenation.
Patients who try PRP love the months
following the procedure when their skin
is glowing and radiant. PRP is basically
a composition of your own blood,
microneedled or injected into the areas
of the face you wish to enhance, correct
and plump. Your body will never reject your own “liquid gold,”
rich in growth factors, which you are essentially donating back
to yourself.
When injected, your “liquid gold” platelet rich plasma is a
concentrated formula of your own growth factor rich platelets.
These growth factors are needed to repair our bodies and are
essential in reversing signs of aging. Growth factors have the
ability to accelerate tissue repair and improve wound healing.
If you would like to see the ways in which stem cell treatments
and products can improve your skin, I encourage you to schedule

As a medical technologist
and physician, I couldn’t be
more excited about the latest
breakthroughs in technology
as it relates to the growth factors derived
from human stem cells. By harnessing
the incredible power of stem cells, the
aesthetics professionals can now offer
patients a variety of anti-aging treatments
to keep them looking as young as they
feel. From microneedling and platelet
rich plasma (PRP), to medical-grade
skincare with stem cells derived
from human bone marrow, you can
dramatically improve the quality of
your skin almost instantly.
The incredible power of bone marrow
stem cells is one of the great unseen
wonders of the human body. These
cells leave the bone marrow and travel
throughout the body to provide essential
cellular intelligence as the body defends
against damage and disease. The body
can’t survive without these cells, yet we each live with fewer
of them everyday.
The newest stem cell skincare offered at PureLife Medi-Spa
is extraordinary for rejuvenating skin, reducing fine lines and
wrinkles, creating lift and preventing the signs of aging. The
manufacturer cultures bone marrow stem cells in a lab and
provides a controlled environment that fosters the production of
biosignals focused on repair and rejuvenation. Growth factors and
the cytokines they produce are then used as the key ingredient
of these products –– and when applied to the skin, mimic the
effect of having more stem cells. These powerful cells can also
be used in conjunction with microneedling for enhanced therapy
and for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), your body’s own “liquid
gold” that you can donate to yourself.
Microneedling is one of the most advanced therapies in
aesthetics because it’s a catalyst for boosting the skin’s natural
healing process. It’s a safe and effective treatment for reducing
fine lines, tightening and toning the skin, and stimulating collagen
in order to look years younger. It can also treat fine lines and
improves the overall texture of the skin. The microneedling
