THANK YOU
Proud to be voted Tampa Bay’s premier medi-spa
advantage of this procedure without the
radio frequency heating that provides
additional fat reduction (think buttocks
lifting) with excellent results.
Neo’s muscle toning feature is based
on high-intensity focused electromagnetic
energy. Emsculpt Neo uses the
electromagnetic energy to stimulate high
frequency and intense muscle contractions.
The device’s deep stimulation allows the
treatment to challenge muscle contraction
and development more so than with
voluntary exercise. Incredibly, a single
treatment results in about 20,000 muscle
contractions.
Emsculpt Neo also can induce fat
reduction. By introducing heat to
the tissue, about 30% of the fat cells
undergo controlled cell death, resulting
in permanent fat loss. Once the fat cells are
destroyed they are eliminated naturally
from the body. Now patients can gain
muscle and lose fat simultaneously.

treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying
layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin,
the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural antiaging
process. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles,
discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.
Fractionated RF skin tightening energy is a scientifically proven
method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It is
minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper
layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime. The benefit
of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all
skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be
treated. Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically
after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements
continue up to three months after treatment.
As we look to the future and the ways we can keep Tampa Bay
looking fabulous with the latest aesthetic innovations, I couldn’t
be more proud of my staff and the first-class services we offer at
PureLife Medi-Spa. Thank you for a wonderful eight years. 9

AAs we celebrate PureLife Medi-
Spa’s eight-year anniversary
this fall, we are honored to
keep thousands of Tampa Bay
residents looking and feeling their best.
We are blessed to be voted as Tampa Bay’s
“Best Medi-Spa” by Tampa Bay Magazine
and Tampa Bay Newspapers for eight years in
a row. Thank you to our many supporters
and patients who continue to make our
dream a reality. We know you can go
anywhere, but you choose to support us.
We work very hard to earn these awards.
PureLife specializes in non-surgical
cosmetic procedures that are scientifically
proven safe and effective with virtually
no downtime. PureLife treatments allow
our patients to enjoy a more youthful
appearance without surgery, allowing
them to return to their normal lives right
away. From dermal fillers and wrinkle
releasers, to body contouring procedures
and customized facials and peels, we’ve
got something for everyone. Here’s a look
at some of our most popular services.
Are you looking to improve skin hydration, lift sagging skin,
minimize the appearance of large pores and brighten your
appearance? If so, the PRX Tight & Bright is what you need. The
treatment differs from most chemical peels because there is virtually
no peeling. The procedure leaves the epidermis alone completely,
so the skin’s protective layer remains intact. This peel only targets
the dermis, resulting in no flaking or dryness afterwards, but
rejuvenating the vitality of skin on the face and the body.
Nearly all chemical peels include trichloroacetic acid (TCA) as
a main ingredient. TCA, a derivative of vinegar, aids in exfoliation
and the reduction of fine lines. PRX Tight & Bright is no exception.
However, unlike most chemical peels, PRX Tight & Bright contains
a percentage of both kojic acid and hydrogen peroxide. These
additives help control the TCA, which allows for the reduction of
fine lines without the peeling properties of TCA.
Both hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid reduce inflammation
in the skin’s epidermis, as well as aid in the restoration of cell
production and the hindrance of melanin, the pigment that can
cause discoloration and sunspots.
Emsculpt Neo is the first-ever machine to combine two bodycontouring
procedures — fat removal and muscle toning — into a
single non-surgical treatment that takes about 30 minutes. Patients
who desire muscle toning with minimal fat loss can also take
