PRX Derm Perfexion Delivered Glowing Skin in Just 20 Minutes
In our ongoing series, Standing Appointment, we delve into the latest and most talked-about cosmetic treatments to determine their actual worth. This week, I tried out PRX Derm Perfexion, promising radiant skin in a mere 20 minutes.
Achieving that coveted clear, firm, dewy complexion resembling a perfectly glazed donut is often regarded as the pinnacle of skin health. Yet, those dedicated to achieving this luminous glow know that it typically requires a significant investment of time and effort. But what if I told you there’s a highly recommended in-office procedure that can deliver the radiant skin you’ve always desired in just one session? Even more enticing is the fact that it takes only 20 minutes, making it easy to squeeze into your lunch break. This revolutionary treatment, PRX Derm Perfexion, is entirely needle-free and requires zero downtime.
Dr. Ava Shamban, a board-certified dermatologist from Beverly Hills, refers to PRX as the tone, tighten, and lift remedy, noting that most patients rebook immediately after their session. It’s a notable advancement because it can effectively reach the fibroblasts and stimulate collagen and elastin production without the need for harsh procedures like peeling or other downtime associated with more invasive options.
So, what exactly is PRX Derm Perfexion? This innovative product falls within a new realm of collagen biostimulation, developed in Italy. Patients are raving about its immediate effects. The unique composition penetrates the dermal and basal layers of the skin, rejuvenating and promoting healing while enhancing cell turnover.
The treatment, which typically costs around $500 per session, is the only globally patented solution made with 33% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), hydrogen peroxide, and 5% kojic acid. It addresses a myriad of skin concerns such as firmness, fine lines, uneven tone, sagging, and even stretch marks.
To apply PRX Derm Perfexion, the liquid needs to be carefully administered. Initially, the product is drawn into a syringe, then dotted on the skin using a specified technique. You must apply three to five pounds of pressure per square inch, ensuring to avoid areas with excess fat. After application, the product is neutralized to mitigate the risk of hyperpigmentation.
PRX has an acronym that encapsulates its method: Push the formula through the epidermis to prevent frosting, Reach the papillitis dermis for deep activation, and X-celerate natural collagen production. Notably, PRX can complement other more invasive treatments, making it an excellent option for anyone wanting to enhance their results.
My firsthand experience with PRX was enlightening. At 35 and having dealt with occasional hormonal acne, I was eager to target my fine lines and revive my skin’s brightness. Upon arrival, the PA cleansed my face, prepared the solution, and began the treatment by dotting the PRX solution across my face and neck, using the prescribed pressure. The small vial was enough to cover my face, neck, and even the backs of my hands—because why not treat every area?
While my pain threshold is relatively high, I experienced a slight tingling sensation that subsided after a neutralizer was applied. Upon checking my skin in the mirror post-treatment, I was amazed by the immediate glow. My complexion appeared wet yet was entirely dry to the touch, looking somehow tauter and refreshed. The tightening effect lasted for about two weeks, and for those seeking even more dramatic, longer-lasting results, multiple sessions are recommended.
One of the appealing aspects of PRX is its accessibility; it suits individuals of all ages and skin types, making it inclusive. However, those with sensitive skin or certain skin conditions should consult with a professional first, as they might experience irritation.
As far as risks are concerned, PRX is minimally invasive with limited potential for adverse effects, though mild reactions like itching or changes in pigmentation could occur. Caution is advised for sun exposure post-treatment to avoid burns.
In an age of instant gratification, PRX Derm Perfexion is a promising addition to aesthetic offerings. Whether for a wedding, a pivotal date, or simply a self-care session, PRX is a treatment that can deliver. As Dr. Shamban puts it, every dermatologist office should carry PRX, akin to how essential salt is in a kitchen. It’s a fantastic option for those hesitant to undergo more invasive procedures but still desire visible results. I’ve already had multiple sessions and plan to incorporate it into my beauty regimen moving forward.
