What is PRX and How Does it Work?

Many of us are eager to refresh and rejuvenate our skin after a season of sun exposure and outdoor activities. In the ever-evolving world of skincare, treatments that promise to enhance skin texture and overall appearance are constantly making headlines. One such treatment that’s gaining significant attention is PRX. But what exactly is PRX, and how does it work its magic on our skin? Let’s dive into the details!


What is PRX Derm Perfexion?

PRX Derm Perfexion is a non-invasive skin treatment that stands out due to it's TCA penetrating to the DEEPER layer of the skin. This intense stimulation creates immediate hydration, firmness and tightening of the skin while leaving the top layer of the skin intact. PRX is a topical rejuvenation treatment that can be performed on face, neck, and décolleté. It combines the benefits of a chemical peel and microneedling without the typical downtime associated with these procedures - and better yet, no needles! The treatment uses a unique formula that includes 33% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), 5% kojic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Developed in Italy, this dynamic trio stimulates collagen production transforming your skin and leaves you GLOWING.





The Unique Formula

  • Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Traditionally used in chemical peels, TCA helps EXFOLIATE the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter complexion.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide: Known for its antibacterial properties, hydrogen peroxide aids in preventing infections and boosts the skin’s overall health. Normally, TCA isn’t recommended for melanin-rich skin due to the risk of hyperpigmentation, but the hydrogen peroxide, at a concentration that doesn’t bleach the skin, enables it to quickly penetrate the dermis and stimulate cellular renewal without being very aggressive.

  • Kojic Acid: This natural compound helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tone - enhancing radiance. The kojic acid acts as a “safety” to further reduce the risk of pigment. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance without the risk of complications.


How Does PRX Improve Skin Texture?


  1. Stimulates Collagen Production

    One of the key benefits of PRX is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen levels decline each year, which leads to sagging skin and uneven texture. PRX encourages the skin to produce more collagen resulting in a plumper, smoother appearance.

  2. Exfoliates Gently

    Unlike traditional chemical peels that can be harsh and require significant downtime, PRX offers a gentler approach. The treatment exfoliates the skin without causing extensive peeling, making it suitable for all skin types. This gentle exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, refine pores, and improve overall texture. One of the main advantages of PRX is its minimal downtime.

  3. Enhances Skin Radiance

    The combination of its active ingredients not only treats surface issues but also penetrates deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action approach helps brighten the complexion, reduce dullness, and promote a healthy, glowing appearance. Because there’s no heavy peeling with PRX, you’re not photosensitive. While sun protection is always essential, this treatment’s gentle approach makes it a viable option for those who want to keep their skin looking great without compromising their outdoor plans.

  4. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

    By boosting collagen production and promoting cell turnover, PRX effectively minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As the skin’s texture improves, the signs of aging become less pronounced, resulting in a youthful look. PRX is suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.

  5. Addresses Hyperpigmentation

    PRX is particularly effective for those struggling with hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or post-inflammatory marks. The kojic acid in the formula helps lighten these areas, leading to a more even skin tone.


What to expect at a PRX appointment?

The treatment itself is quick, typically lasting between 30 to 40 minutes, and requires no extensive preparation. This makes it an easy addition to your routine, whether you’re fitting it into a busy schedule or preparing for an upcoming event. The convenience of PRX Derm Perfexion means you can enjoy its benefits without disrupting your lifestyle.


While you’ll see improvements after just one session, multiple treatments enhance and extend the results. It’s recommended to start with 4 treatments, once a week and regular sessions can help maintain your skin’s health and appearance ensuring you enjoy a consistently radiant complexion.


PRX is a perfect alternative if you aren't interested in injectables (i.e. Sculptra), but want to boost collagen stimulation and have a GLOWING complexion. PRX is also a wonderful "maintenance" option between Morpheus8 sessions. Talk to one of our providers to come up with a customized treatment plan.
