What is the PRX -T33 treatment?

/

We often get asked, “so what is this PRX-T33 treatment all about?”  PRX is a relatively new treatment that we are really excited about.  It can be used as a standalone service, or paired with some of our other treatments to really change your skin and overall appearance.

What does a PRX treatment do?

When done as a series, PRX treatments can improve:

  • Loose, sagging skin on your face, neck, and décolleté

  • The appearance of hyperpigmentation, melasma and/or age spots

  • Skin texture

  • Acne scars

  • Sun damage

  • Stretch marks

  • Overall signs of aging

But, we also love this treatment because there are no downtime requirements after your service, which means it can also be used to get you “red-carpet ready” before an event!

PRX-T33 can be used to improve stubborn skin conditions, or as an instant treatment that will enhance your skin that is already in good shape!

How It  Works

Known for being the peel that doesn’t peel, PRX -T33 is a solution that contains a combination of trichloroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. During a treatment the solution is applied by a PRX-T33 certified professional directly to the treatment area and then quickly pressed into the skin with very precise pressure and technique.   Because of the unique formulation and the precise pressure of application, the peel penetrates deep into the layers of the skin and stimulates the living cells underneath to multiply.

 The new cells then move up to the surface and help promote collagen and hyalouronic acid production.  You’ll notice your skin will appear hydrated and firm while the top layer of skin remains intact, fine lines and wrinkles will fade and your skin will start to behave like it did in your youth. 

We can literally rewind the hands of time in a 30-minute treatment!

PRX-T33 vs. Other Chemical Peels

While PRX-T33 is often referred to as the “peel that doesn’t peel”, it really functions completely different than a traditional chemical peel.

PRX-T33 does not exfoliate the top layer of skin.  In fact, as mentioned above, PRX leaves the top layer of skin completely intact and works it’s magic below the surface.  

Most traditional chemical peels do the opposite.  They exfoliate the top layer of skin and reveal a new layer of skin that isn’t as damaged. 

Comparing a traditional chemical peel to PRX-T33 is really comparing apples to oranges, but both have their place in the treatment room depending on the client’s individual needs.

The advantage to using PRX-T33 over a traditional chemical peel is that you need to plan for downtime because you won’t experience:

  • Redness or irritated skin

  • Peeling or flaking skin

  • Sensitivity to the sun after a treatment

Getting Started with PRX-T33

If you’re interested in getting started with PRX-T33, it’s a great time to try it because we’re running a special this month (March 2023).  To get started give us a call for assistance with scheduling.  In general, most clients start with a series of four or more treatments, depending on the condition of their skin and their overall goals.

For best results, the first four or more treatments are suggested to be completed at a 7 to 12 day interval.  Once desired results have been achieved, we recommend returning quarterly for maintenance treatments.  If it has been more than a year, since you had any maintenance sessions, it is common to repeat the starting series for best results.

Let’s Double Down

Clients with scarring , significant dryness, stretch marks or fine lines make even more progress when they combine PRX-T33 with some of our other modalities. PRX-T33 pairs very well with Tixel, CO2 and/or Micropen.   Many clients also combine PRX treatments with Sculptra injections to replace volume.

This treatment is truly a miracle worker so if your goal is to improve your skin, don’t sleep on our March 2023 promotion to experience a PRX treatment for just $199 or a series of 4 for $775.  It’s worth every penny!
