PRX Derm Perfexion

Patients dealing with acne scars, wrinkles, and other skin conditions often feel frustrated and eager to find a solution. Treatments such as skin peels have proven to be highly effective at fading out scars and giving the skin a better texture. While these chemical peels are a popular treatment that can improve the skin’s overall health and aesthetic, people often dread the itchy, dry feeling that occurs as the top layer of their skin peels off.

Fortunately, patients can now turn to PRX Derm Perfexion. This cutting-edge treatment offers the remarkable results of a chemical skin peel without making the patient’s skin actually peel off.

What Is PRX Derm Perfexion?

Skin peels are a powerful method for revitalizing the skin, but they come with a less than enjoyable recovery process. PRX Derm Perfexion gives patients the ability to achieve the same results as a chemical peel without having to deal with the peeling that comes in the aftermath. PRX Derm Perfexion can provide patients with tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin without requiring a high level of irritation.

The PRX Derm Perfexion is a formula that was initially intended to treat scarring in young children. As it is safe for use on children, PRX Derm Perfexion can be used to address virtually any adult skin concerns, even on thin, sensitive areas of the skin. With this treatment, the protective outer layer of skin that flakes (epidermis), is completely unaffected. This treatment’s mechanism instead works by stimulating the deeper dermis and basal layers of the skin to achieve healthy, remarkable results.

While cosmetic treatments are highly individual and may not be right for every patient, PRX Derm Perfexion has been proven to be beneficial for any and all skin ailments. This no-peel procedure leaves patients with tighter, more vibrant skin.

How Does PRX Derm Perfexion Treatment Work?

PRX Derm Perfexion’s unique formula elicits beautiful transformations by reaching deep into the dermal and basal layers of the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural rejuvenation and healing processes while simultaneously causing cell turnover. Each of the active ingredients in the innovative PRX Derm Perfexion formula plays a unique role in the treatment process, providing patients with outstanding results.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

This makes up about one-third of the formula’s contents. This active ingredient is responsible for the exfoliation factor in many chemical peels. Beyond that, it also induces the growth of fibroblasts (connective tissues and cells of the body), and it contains various anti-inflammatory properties. It also has the ability to destroy bacteria, microbes, and dirt particles that accumulate within the pores.

Kojic acid

This is a potent agent that halts melanin production. It can improve skin tone, decrease pigmentation, and give the skin a brighter, healthier look.

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide causes a release of oxygen that lifts out unneeded particles. It also preps skin cells to receive other ingredients, making them even more effective.

The treatment is quick and pain-free. It starts with a thorough cleansing of the skin. After that, the PRX Derm Perfexion solution can be applied and massaged gently into the skin until it is completely absorbed. The PRX Derm Perfexion solution is applied several times throughout the session. Patients usually receive between two and five applications, depending on the details of their unique treatment plan. Following each of these applications, the skin is washed clean. Following this, the skin is moisturized thoroughly.

The entire treatment typically takes only 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. Some patients report mild tingling or itching, but these effects are quite tolerable and will not require any numbing or local anesthetic.

What is the recovery process like?

After the procedure, it is normal for the skin to be slightly warm, and inflamed for the first few hours. As mentioned before, the skin is significantly less likely to peel with this procedure than with a chemical peel. Nonetheless, some peeling does occur, especially in areas of the skin that are thicker. It is also common to experience swelling in areas where the skin is sensitive (such as the skin around the eyes). All side effects of this treatment improve within a week.
