What Is PRX?
PRX is a next-generation biorevitalization treatment designed to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality without needles, peeling, or social downtime.
Often referred to as a “no-peel chemical stimulation system,” PRX combines:
- 33% TCA
- Hydrogen peroxide
- kojic acid
This unique formulation penetrates beneath the surface to activate collagen remodeling while avoiding the frosting, burning, and peeling associated with traditional chemical peels.
Think science and elegance in one bottle.
Why Do People Love It?
PRX leaves skin looking visibly brighter, smoother, firmer, and deeply hydrated — with a fresh, lit-from-within glow that continues to improve as collagen stimulation builds.
Patients love it because:
- there is little to no downtime
- skin looks instantly refreshed
- texture and tone appear more refined
- it works beautifully as a series
- it is perfect before special events
It is the kind of glow that makes people ask, “What did you do to your skin?”
The Science Behind PRX
PRX is designed to work beneath the surface of the skin — stimulating collagen and improving dermal structure without causing the visible peeling typically associated with traditional chemical peels.
Its formulation combines three key components:
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) at 33 percent
TCA has long been used in aesthetic medicine to stimulate dermal renewal and collagen production. In PRX, it penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin without triggering surface damage.
Low-Dose Hydrogen Peroxide
This ingredient helps modulate the activity of TCA, preventing frosting and protecting the outer layers of the skin while still allowing stimulation in the dermis.
Kojic Acid
Known for its brightening properties, kojic acid helps address discoloration and uneven tone, supporting a clearer, more luminous complexion.
Together, these components create a controlled biostimulation process — activating fibroblasts, encouraging collagen remodeling, and improving skin texture and firmness over time, all while keeping the surface of the skin intact.
The result is what many patients notice first: smoother texture, increased luminosity, and a healthy, hydrated glow — followed by longer-term improvements in skin quality as collagen continues to rebuild.
Clinical Indications for PRX Treatment
PRX is used as a biorevitalization therapy to improve multiple signs of cutaneous aging and photodamage through dermal collagen stimulation without epidermal exfoliation.
It is commonly selected to address:
Skin Laxity and Loss of Elasticity
Early to moderate laxity related to collagen depletion, resulting in decreased firmness and recoil.
Fine Lines and Superficial Wrinkling
Textural irregularities associated with thinning dermal support.
Dull or Uneven Skin Tone
Photodamage and dyschromia, including sun-related pigment irregularities.
Rough Texture and Enlarged Pores
Surface irregularities and diminished smoothness.
Acne Scarring and Post-Inflammatory Changes
Mild atrophic scars and residual discoloration following acne.
Crepey or Thinned Skin
Particularly in periorbital, neck, décolleté, and body areas.
Loss of Dermal Density
Age-related reduction in collagen and extracellular matrix integrity.
Treatment candidacy and anticipated results are determined during consultation and may vary based on skin type and individual goals.
Your provider will confirm candidacy during the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRX a chemical peel?
PRX is considered a biorevitalization treatment rather than a traditional peel. While it contains TCA, the formulation is designed to stimulate collagen beneath the surface without causing visible peeling, frosting, or extended downtime.
Is there downtime after PRX?
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Skin often appears brighter and tighter the same day, with continued improvement in the weeks that follow.
Does the treatment hurt?
PRX is generally well tolerated. You may feel tingling or warmth during application, but discomfort is typically mild and brief.
How long does a PRX treatment take?
Treatments usually take about 15 minutes.
Will one treatment be enough?
Many patients see visible improvement after one session, especially for an event-ready glow. For long-term collagen stimulation and skin quality, a series of 4 is recommended spaced one week apart.
Who should not have PRX?
Your provider will review your medical history at the event to ensure PRX is appropriate for you. All skin types allowed.

You may notice mild redness or warmth for a short time, but most patients return to normal activities the same day.
We will provide simple post-treatment instructions, which may include:
Gentle skincare for the next few days
Sun protection
Avoiding exfoliants or active products briefly
Keeping skin well moisturized
Our team is always available if questions come up — you will never be left wondering what is normal.
PRX vs Traditional Chemical Peels
Patients often ask how PRX compares to classic chemical peels. Here is the simple breakdown.
PRX
No visible peeling
Little to no downtime
Stimulates collagen beneath the surface
Immediate radiance with continued improvement
Great before events or as part of a series
Traditional Peels
Often involve visible peeling or flaking
Downtime can range from days to weeks
Focus primarily on surface exfoliation
Results appear as skin heals
Typically scheduled when downtime is acceptable
PRX is ideal for patients who want meaningful skin rejuvenation without putting life on pause.
What Our Patients Love About PRX
