⚡️Consistency is the secret to natural, long-term results.

One of the biggest things I talk about with patients is that great skin and natural aesthetic results don’t come from one treatment — they come from a plan, consistency, and small treatments done at the right time.

That’s exactly why we created the Purus Skin Investment Membership.

This membership was designed for patients who:
• get wrinkle relaxer regularly
• do microneedling or regenerative treatments
• invest in skincare
• want a long-term, natural approach to aging

Here’s how it works:
Your monthly membership becomes banked treatment credit that you can use on the treatments you already do — wrinkle relaxers, filler, microneedling, PRF, skincare, and wellness injections.

Members also receive preferred pricing on treatments, skincare, and biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse.

Think of it as a way to plan ahead, stay consistent, and be rewarded for taking care of your skin.

Because the truth is — the patients who look the most natural over time are not the ones doing the most…
They’re the ones doing the right treatments consistently.

If you’ve been coming to Purus for a while, this membership was created for you.
If you’re new and want a long-term plan, this is the best place to start.

We can go over details at your next appointment or consultation.

🫧 What is Hypochlorous Acid and Why I Use It

One of the things patients often say during treatment is
Why does it smell like you are cleaning me with bleach

So let’s talk about that because what I am using is NOT bleach and it is actually one of the safest and most effective ways to disinfect the skin before procedures

It is called hypochlorous acid

Hypochlorous acid is something your body naturally produces When your immune system is fighting bacteria your white blood cells actually create it to help kill pathogens and control inflammation

So when we use it on the skin we are using something that works with your body not against it

Why I use it before procedures

When I am doing injections microneedling or any treatment where the skin barrier is being disrupted I need something that

Reduces bacteria
Is safe for the skin barrier
Does not cause unnecessary irritation
Does not increase inflammation
Is safe around the eyes and mouth
Supports healing

Hypochlorous acid checks all of those boxes

It is broad spectrum antimicrobial meaning it works against bacteria viruses and fungi while still being gentle on healthy skin cells

Compared to alcohol which can be drying and irritating and chlorhexidine which is not ideal for the face hypochlorous acid is much more skin friendly especially for facial treatments

It also has anti inflammatory and wound healing properties which is why we often use it after procedures as well

So no I am not cleaning your face with Clorox

Even though the smell is similar it is completely different It is used in wound care dermatology and medical settings because of how safe and effective it is

In aesthetics it is one of my favorite ways to prep the skin and support healing

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference

✨ Why I Change Needles & Reassess During Treatment

One thing patients often notice during treatment is that I move around a lot — and I even change needles during the same treatment multiple times.

And there’s a reason for that.

A study by Sebastian Cotofana and colleagues looked at what happens to a needle tip after repeated injections using electron microscopy.

What they found was that the needle tip begins to deform after multiple injection passes, and after about 5 injection passes, the needle becomes less precise and can cause more tissue trauma.

So what does that mean in practice?

It means that thoughtful injecting isn’t just about where product is placed — it’s also about the condition of the needle, precision, and minimizing unnecessary trauma to the skin.

You may see me:
• Change needles during treatment
• Reassess from different angles
• Sit you up and lay you back
• Step back and evaluate before continuing

This is all intentional.

The face is a three-dimensional structure, and small adjustments — in angle, needle, placement, and assessment — are what create natural, balanced results.

Good aesthetic work is not rushed.
It’s evaluated continuously.

Because the difference between an okay result and a beautiful, natural result is often in the small details most people don’t see.

✨ Cannulas in Aesthetic Treatments

You may notice that during some treatments I choose to use a cannula instead of a needle.

Both tools have their place in aesthetic medicine — and the choice depends on the anatomy, treatment area, and safety considerations.

A cannula is a flexible, blunt-tipped instrument that is designed to glide through tissue planes rather than puncturing through them like a sharp needle.

Why might we use one?

✨ Improved safety in certain areas
The blunt tip can help navigate around blood vessels rather than piercing them.

✨ Reduced bruising and swelling
Because cannulas are less likely to injure small vessels, many patients experience less bruising.

✨ Fewer entry points
A single access point can sometimes allow product placement across a wider area.

✨ Smoother product distribution
The flexibility of the cannula can allow filler to be placed along natural tissue planes.

Just like needles, different cannula gauges and lengths are selected depending on the treatment area and the type of product being used.

There isn’t one “better” tool — there’s only the right tool for the right situation.

In aesthetic medicine, safety comes from understanding anatomy, choosing appropriate techniques, and tailoring each treatment to the individual.

Thoughtful technique always matters more than trends.

What do you think actually happens during a consultation or treatment?

Most people imagine the moment of the injection or the device — but the truth is, that’s only a small part of the process.

A lot happens behind the scenes.

Reviewing your history.
Analyzing facial structure and skin quality.
Selecting the right treatment approach.
Preparing products and equipment.
Discussing goals and expectations.

Every step matters.

Because thoughtful aesthetics isn’t about rushing through treatments — it’s about understanding the person in front of you and creating a plan that makes sense for their skin, their anatomy, and their long-term goals.

Sometimes that means discussing skincare.
Sometimes it means reviewing labs or lifestyle factors.
Sometimes it means deciding not to treat at all.

But the goal is always the same:
intentional care and natural outcomes.

What you see during a treatment is just the final step of a much bigger process.
