What is PUREDERMA
A non-surgical skin treatment using micro-needling and radio-frequency to precisely target areas of concern. The radiofrequency generates dermal heating from 55°C to 65°C to energise the skin, trigger new collagen production, and simultaneously penetrate the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers.
How does it work?
Microneedling and radiofrequency is an advanced method of skin rejuvenation that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to encourage collagen production of the dermis resulting in anti-ageing and skin tightening. PUREDERMA can treat concerns such as hooded eyelids and improve skin laxity above the knees.
Using the insulated needles, PUREDERMA allows you to target both the deep dermis and epidermis layers of the skin as the energy moves throughout the entire surface area.
The radio-frequency wave penetrates the basal melanocyte barrier, heating the collagen fibres in the dermis to 55°C-65°C. Stimulating the body’s natural healing process and as cell turnover increases as the body heal, this results in the production of collagen and elastin in these areas.
When will I see the Results?
Results can be instant following a one-off treatment. A course of three treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, with an annual maintenance treatment once per year to maintain results.
Treatment times typically range from 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
