During your consultation, Dr Langdon will explain what the treatment can realistically achieve, any risks specific to you, and whether an alternative might be more appropriate.

Clinical overview
Purasomes delivers concentrated exosomes — naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that carry growth factors, proteins and genetic material — to the skin. These exosomes act as cellular messengers, signalling cells to repair, regenerate and produce new collagen and elastin. The treatment can be applied topically after microneedling or Morpheus8 to enhance penetration and amplify the regenerative response, or used as a standalone application depending on your skin concerns and goals. We use Purasomes selectively for patients seeking skin rejuvenation, improved texture, reduced fine lines, and enhanced skin health through a regenerative approach. It is particularly effective when combined with energy-based or microneedling treatments that create micro-channels in the skin, allowing deeper delivery of the exosome formulation. Suitability is confirmed during consultation, where we assess your skin, medical history, expectations and whether Purasomes (alone or in combination) is the most appropriate choice for your goals.
Key Benefits
- Delivers concentrated growth factors and signalling proteins for cellular-level skin rejuvenation
- Can be combined with Morpheus8 or microneedling for enhanced penetration and results
- Supports collagen and elastin production through natural cellular messaging
- Suitable as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader regenerative plan
- Minimal downtime for most patients
Suitable For
- Fine lines, dull or tired-looking skin where regeneration is the priority
- Patients seeking enhanced results from Morpheus8 or microneedling treatments
- Those looking for a regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation and improved texture
- Post-procedure skin recovery and healing support
- Patients comfortable with a tailored treatment plan (standalone or combination)
Not Suitable For
- Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area (treatment should be delayed)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active acne, open wounds or broken skin in the treatment area
- Patients seeking volume restoration or structural contouring (a different plan is more appropriate)
- Anyone with unrealistic expectations of immediate dramatic transformation
Final suitability is confirmed during a medical consultation and assessment.
When we don't recommend it
- If volume loss is the primary concern — Purasomes improves skin quality and regeneration but does not replace lost volume. We may recommend alternative treatments.
- If there is active infection, inflammation or broken skin in the treatment area — we will delay treatment until your skin has settled.
- If expectations are for a single-session dramatic change — regenerative treatments work gradually, and we will set realistic expectations during consultation.
- If your skin concerns would be more effectively addressed by a different treatment approach — we will recommend the most appropriate option for your goals.
- If combining with Morpheus8 or microneedling is not clinically appropriate for your skin type or condition at the time of assessment.
