Introducing Puragen™.

Smooth. Even. Enduring.

For deep to moderate lines
and highly mobile facial areas.

Puragen’s uniquely modified hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules are a small particle, tight-mesh gel network that responds to special needs of dynamic areas while resisting migration and degradation.

puragen

The small particle formula with exceptional durability.

Puragen begins with the ideal aspects of a small particle filler:

  • increased versatility
  • lower extrusion force
  • smoother contours

but is cross-linked in a proprietary way which creates extended particle durability:

  • degradation resistant
  • migration resistant
  • double bonded with DXL technology

DXL™ technology complements the classic single cross linking between ether bonds in hyaluronic molecules with an additional bond. This additional ester bond, which is unique among all HA formulas, creates a tightly knit network with significant benefits.

DXL™ Gives Puragen New Advantages.

Puragen has a higher resistance than other available hyaluronic acids against the body’s natural tendency to breakdown a foreign substance.

  • A consistent, narrow distribution of particles (around 200 μm) eliminates very large and very small particles, resulting in smooth flow through the syringe and a major reduction in the free HA required by other fillers for lubrication.
  • Puragen has the lowest incidence of free HA found in any major filler (6% versus other fillers that contain up to 20%).
  • Free HA does not contribute to clinical effectiveness and is absorbed by the body witin 72 hours post injection.
  • Most HA fillers lose up to 20% volume in the first two weeks. Puragen loses a mere 6%.
