Purigenex: Needle-less Collagen Treatment
Posted on healthyskinportal.com on 3/22/10 by Wendy Travis
In the past, the benefits of collagen treatments were generally enjoyed by injection, such as in many of the dermal fillers available on the market today. While these procedures offer stellar results, many patients shied away from the potential discomfort that accompanies injections. Today, you can enjoy the many advantages of collagen infusion with no needles involved! The Purigenex skin care line offers collagen-based products like nothing else ever seen in the skin care industry before.
Purigenex offers all new, scientific formulas designed for the best results possible from a topical collagen treatment. The highly soluble collagen in the mix penetrates the skin to build skin elasticity and connective tissue integrity. The result is skin that is plumper, smoother and younger looking. The products are currently only available through doctor's offices and medical spas, and kits are sold in eight-week supplies.
Benefits of Purigenex
There are a number of benefits to the Purigenex product line that have not been seen with other types of topical skin care solutions. These benefits include:
Improved skin elasticity
Increased strength and tone of skin tissue
Delayed skin cell aging, for a more youthful complexion
Promotion of the body's own collagen production
Better penetration than other collagen-based products today
Can be used to repair sun damage, discolorations, acne scarring and the effects of aging
The formula is also non-immunogenic, which means immune reactions are very rare. According to the product manufacturer, the formula integrates with skin cells for excellent results.
About Collagen
Purigenex only uses type I antecollagen from animal sources. Many collagen-based skin care products today use plant collagens that are biologically inactive, due to both the source of the collagen and the methods used for processing and storing it. Purigenex uses animal collagen, similar to what is used in some collagen-based dermal fillers. The collagen is carefully stored at lower temperatures, since exposing collagen to room temperature or higher denatures the substance and renders it ineffective. Antecollagens are used, because their chemical makeup makes them less likely to cause allergic reactions in users.
What is Included in the Purigenex Line?
Purigenex products are only available through physicians, medical spas and aesthetic professionals. The products come in a kit that provides an eight-week supply of skin care. The two main therapies in the Purigenex line are the ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. Both are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are safe for even the most sensitive skin types. The products work together to slow aging in skin cells, nourish the skin and promote the body's own collagen production.
For those who need additional skin repair, Purigenex also has products to address specific needs. Advanced Dermal Repair is equipped with 27 antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help skin regain a younger appearance and better health. It is touted as an anti-aging treatment, but it can also be used to heal sun damage, inflammation or a host of skin disorders. Advanced Eye Repair is used to erase signs of aging around the eyes and Discoloration Corrective Therapy is primarily used to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots. Intensive Hydrating Therapy is also available to treat very dry, aging skin.
The products are fairly expensive and can only be purchased through medical professionals. However, if you are concerned about the discomfort involved with collagen injections, the Purigenex skin care line with collagen may be worth considering. The products are high quality, with penetrable collagen that may promote healthier skin from the inside out.

Dermal Fillers – Safe and simple biocompatible dermal fillers including Restylane®, Juvederm® and Evolence® are injected to increase volume in the face, taking years off of one's appearance.
Botox® – A perennial favorite for its almost instantaneous results, Botox® relaxes the tiny facial muscles that cause worry lines in the forehead, crow's feet, frown lines and laugh lines, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Purigenex Ionized Collagen Masks –Providing dermal cell regeneration that prevents and repairs skin from the effects of aging and sun damage, as well as discolorations and acne scarring. Patients see immediate results after the application of a single mask - with skin appearing smoother and more supple.

Laser Hair Removal – The Soprano® laser by Alma provides effective laser hair reduction in less time and without the pain and discomfort of traditional lasers.
ZERONA® – The first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat and help patients lose a remarkable three or more inches. Utilizing low-level UV laser technology, it is much less expensive than liposuction and totally non-invasive.
Collagen does the work of dermal fillers in this new formulation, recently featured on "Extra."
A new topical collagen treatment, Purigenex, rejuvenates your skin as the only Type 1 collagen available in topical cosmetic form. The collagen can prevent and repair signs of aging, including skin discoloration and fine lines. Damage from the sun and acne scars are treated as well.
The collagen works by penetrating the skin to support and build connective tissue elasticity. Skin is able to bounce back from the effects of time and gravity. It will appear more youthful, smoother and more supple. The formulation of the collagen in Purigenex has shown that few, if any, have an allergic reaction and, according to the manufacturer, it integrates with skin cells very well.
PURIGENEX offers two therapies. One is the ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. Both the serum and the mask are made with a highly purified atelocollagen. It is a non-immunogenic, bio-compatible element in the most active animal-source form. The ICS and ICM are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are tolerated well, even by those with sensitive skin.
Regular use shows a boost in collagen integrity and the skin not only looks better, but is better equipped to function as one of the body's most important organs. Also, patients avoid stinginginjections, more intense laser resurfacing, and chemical peels.
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Brenner recently appeared on Extra and spoke about his experience with Purigenex, He uses the mask and is able to treat patients with no pain at all. There is no surgery nor needle involved with the treatment so patients are able to return to normal activities right away.
Roxspa Beverly Hills Introduces A Transformative Micro-collagen Facial
Topical Collagen of this Quality has Never Been Available Before
(Beverly Hills, CA) - RoxSpa is pleased to announce that it is now offering Purigenex Ionized Collagen Masks (ICM) and Intensive Collagen Serum (ICS). They are one of the few medi-spas in the nation to have access to these new and highly effective skin treatments. Both the Masks and the Serum provide significant therapeutic impact and dermal cell regeneration to those seeking to prevent and repair their skin from aging, sun damage, discolorations and acne scarring.
Patients see immediate results after the application of a single mask - with skin appearing smoother and more supple. However, since the preservative-free formulas help build connective tissue integrity and elasticity over time, a series of eight masks, one per week, and serum, applied twice a day, provides the most dramatic results. After the initial series, long-term benefits can be maintained by the application of the mask once a month. For an instant and radiant glow, women scheduled to walk the red carpet often apply the mask the night before, or even the day of, a special event.
"I love this treatment! For the first time, topical collagen can actually penetrate to the dermis and make significant improvements on a cellular level," states Kelley West, RoxSpa Director and clinical Aesthetician. "My patients are amazed at the immediate results and I am personally addicted to this product. Purigenex helps to stimulate the body's own production of collagen which improves the tone and texture of the skin, plumps fine lines and wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation, and gives the patient an overall glow and youthful appearance. And this is the only 'treatment' oriented facial that is safe for all skin types and expectant mothers. Truly, I haven't been this excited about a new procedure in a very long time!"

Pregnancy is such an exciting time for women that its no wonder we often hear of a “pregnancy glow.” While this is one of the many benefits of expecting, a downside of pregnancy is excess production of hormones, which often leads to acne. The good news is that expecting mothers do have an easy, non-invasive way to combat inflammation and acne scarring. Purigenex collagen can decrease acne scars, heal skin more rapidly and restore the health of skin better than it had ever been before.
Melasma (hyperpigmentation of skin) is another common side effect associated with excess circulating hormones. This too can be treated with the use of Purigenex. Our collagen masks increase the density of skin, which then decrease the activation of melanocytes in melanin production, reducing hyperpigmentation. Even those with sensitive skin and redness will notice results from our topical Purigenex collagen. The integrity of the skin will be strengthened and redness will diminish.
After nine months have past and baby arrives, the fun certainly begins. While moms can now start the process to shed baby weight, something they are happy to part with, their pregnancy glow (swelling from water retention and increased circulation) will disappear rapidly post partum and facial skin will show signs of flaccidity (sagging). Additional wrinkles and indicators of aging may appear. However, use of Purigenex Collagen can prevent the post partum aging process, so that after delivery, the skin will be more resilient and healthier and have more elasticity and density.
All in all, Purigenex collagen masks and serums are non-invasive, require no downtime and can be used throughout all stages of pregnancy.
In the past, the benefits of collagen treatments were generally enjoyed by injection, such as in many of the dermal fillers available on the market today. While these procedures offer stellar results, many patients shied away from the potential discomfort that accompanies injections. Today, you can enjoy the many advantages of collagen infusion with no needles involved!
