Where the issue is acne scars, wrinkles, or poor texture, skin conditions are frustrating and leave people desperate to find relief. Over the years, skin peels have been touted as one of the most effective treatments for reducing the appearance of scars and fine lines while also improving skin texture. This popular approach to skin restoration has proven effective at making improvements in the skin, but the itchy, peeling skin that patients have to contend with in the aftermath is less than desirable.

Thankfully, PRX Derm Perfexion is available. This innovative treatment can achieve the outstanding results of a chemical skin peel without causing any peeling of the skin.

What Is PRX Derm Perfexion?

PRX Derm Perfexion can achieve the remarkable results of a chemical peel without causing copious amounts of peeling on the skin. This potent procedure provides patients with a tighter, smoother aesthetic without causing massive irritation to the skin.

The formula in this treatment was designed to address scarring in young children. Its gentle formulation makes it a good method for treating a wide array of skin concerns, even on thinner, more sensitive areas of the skin. This treatment reaches the lower layers of the skin without affecting the top layer of the skin (epidermis). It achieves healthier skin by triggering regenerative processes in the deeper dermis and basal layers of the skin.

PRX Derm Perfexion has been found to be effective against various skin ailments.

Who is a Good Candidate for PRX Derm Perfexion?

How Does PRX Derm Perfexion Treatment Work?

PRX Derm Perfexion’s unique formula is able to achieve beautiful transformations in the skin by penetrating into the deep dermal and basal layers of the dermis to trigger the skin’s natural revitalizing processes. Each one of the formula’s active ingredients plays an important role in the process, leaving patients looking better than ever.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

About 33% of the formula’s contents are Trichloroacetic acid, which serves as an exfoliant in various chemical peels. It also stimulates fibroblast growth and contains numerous anti-inflammatory properties. Beyond that, it has proven to be effective at destroying bacteria and microbes, while clearing away dirt particles that collect within the pores.

Kojic acid

This potent chemical agent is known for its ability to halt melanin production. It can improve uneven skin tone, mitigate hyperpigmentation, and give the skin a more vibrant, healthier aesthetic.

Hydrogen peroxide

When applied to the skin, hydrogen peroxide causes a release of oxygen that simultaneously clears out redundant particles. It also temporarily lowers the defenses of skin cells, making them more receptive to other ingredients and increasing the efficacy of the treatment.

The treatment is known for being quick and virtually painless. The first step involves a full cleansing of the skin. From there, the PRX Derm Perfexion solution can be applied to the treatment area and gently massaged into the skin for proper absorption. The solution is usually applied multiple times throughout the treatment session. Patients typically receive between two and five applications, depending on their needs and their practitioner’s judgment. The skin is cleansed after each application, and a moisturizer is applied at the end of the treatment.

The entire procedure usually lasts only 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the scope of the treatment area. While mild tingling and itching are common side effects, they are quite tolerable and patients will not need any numbing agents.

What is the recovery process like?

Following the procedure, slight warmness and inflammation around the treatment site are normal for the first few hours. As previously mentioned, this procedure is not associated with the dry, peeling skin that comes with a skin peel. Nonetheless, some peeling will happen, particularly in areas of the skin of higher thickness. Swelling in areas where the skin is more sensitive (the skin around the eyes, for example) is also common and to be expected. Any side effects from the treatment will improve within the first week.
