You’ve probably heard the buzz surrounding treatments and asked yourself, “What is it exactly, and is it all it’s cracked up to be?” After seeing the incredible results time after time, the aestheticians at Faces, PLLC can all agree that the PRX treatment is a smart move when it comes to more advanced skin treatment options, and we are singing its praises! So, what exactly is the PRX treatment? Let’s dive in!
PRX Treatment in a Nutshell
The PRX treatment is typically a series of four, 30-minute appointments spaced 7-10 days apart. It contains three ingredients, including 33% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), Hydrogen Peroxide, and Kojic Acid.
Hydrogen peroxide works as a modulator to the TCA, helping it bypass the surface and quickly settle into the dermal layers. It is in these layers where fibroblast cells stimulate collagen and elastin, helping to give you tighter, plumper, healthier and firmer skin with each treatment.
Kojic acid is a brightening agent that helps this treatment give the glow and brightness we all love. The results are long-lasting, reportedly lasting for up to ten months. But beware – after getting used to the beautiful results this treatment delivers, you will want to add this treatment to your annual arsenal of secret-weapon beauty hacks.
What’s the Best Time of Year to Get a PRX Treatment?
The PRX treatment is ideal for any time of year and any skin type, even the most sensitive skin types! There is no downtime and there are no restrictions to sun exposure, physical activity, or makeup wear, which gets a thumbs-up from all our patients! Perhaps best of all, other than the amazing results, is the fact that there is no peeling involved.
Your aestheticians at Faces are ready to answer any questions you have about this amazing treatment, and we are excited to add you to our long list of satisfied recipients of the PRX treatment series!
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRX Derm Perfexion?
One of the reasons we love recommending PRX Derm Perfexion is that it truly is for everyone. As there is no aggressive peeling or extended downtime, it’s an excellent option for patients who want visible improvement without disrupting their day-to-day routine. We often recommend PRX to patients who are noticing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, mild laxity, or a loss of that youthful bounce in the skin. It’s also a wonderful choice for those dealing with sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or a dull, tired-looking complexion.
Because the formula is gentle enough for even the most reactive skin, PRX is a favorite among patients who haven’t been able to tolerate more aggressive peels or resurfacing treatments in the past. It can even be used on delicate areas like the neck, décolletage, and hands, making it a versatile addition to a full-body skincare plan. If you’ve been curious about biorevitalization treatments but weren’t sure where to start, a conversation with your aesthetician at Faces is the perfect next step.
What to Expect During Your PRX Treatment Series
Walking into your first PRX appointment, you’ll notice right away how simple and comfortable the process is. After a thorough cleanse, your aesthetician will carefully apply the PRX solution to your skin. Most patients describe a brief tingling or warming sensation as the formula gets to work, but it’s generally well tolerated and doesn’t require any numbing or downtime. In just about 30 minutes, you can get back to your day.
Because collagen and elastin production build gradually, the magic of PRX really lies in the series. Scheduling your four treatments 7 to 10 days apart allows your skin time to respond to each session while keeping the momentum going toward your best results. Many of our patients notice their skin looking progressively tighter, brighter, and more even-toned with each visit, and the improvements continue to build even after the series is complete.
Getting the Most Out of Your PRX Results
A little preparation goes a long way with PRX. In the week leading up to your first appointment, we’ll ask you to pause using any retinols or exfoliating products and to hold off on reintroducing them to your skincare routine until about a week after your final treatment. During your treatment series, it’s best to skip the sauna and hot tub, but otherwise, life goes on as usual. Wear sunscreen (as always!), keep up with your workouts, and feel free to apply makeup right after your appointment if you have plans that day.
To extend and enhance your PRX results, many of our patients love pairing their treatment series with complementary services like HydraFacial or a Comprehensive Facial to keep skin hydrated and glowing between sessions. And since results can last up to ten months, we recommend penciling PRX into your skincare calendar once a year to keep that refreshed, luminous look going strong.
