The PRX-T33 biorevitalising peel, the ideal treatment in every season
What Is the PRX-T33 Peel?
The PRX peel is an innovation in dermatological treatments, combining the benefits of a traditional chemical peel with those of a biorevitalisation treatment, without the usual drawbacks such as significant peeling and prolonged recovery times. This treatment uses a unique formulation based on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 33% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and kojic acid.
How does the PRX-T33 peel work?
PRX works deep within the skin without disturbing its surface. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) stimulates the regeneration of the deep layers of the skin, while hydrogen peroxide modulates the action of the TCA to minimise side effects and promote rapid recovery. Kojic acid, meanwhile, helps to brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.
The process is simple: after the skin has been cleansed, the product is applied in successive layers with a massage to aid penetration. It causes no visible peeling, so you can return to your daily activities immediately.
The benefits of the PRX-T33 Peel
1. Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines: by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, PRX-T33 helps to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, for younger, firmer skin.
2. Improved skin texture: this peel improves the texture of the skin, making it softer and more even.
3. Softening of pigmentation spots: thanks to kojic acid, PRX-T33 reduces brown spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation, evening out the complexion.
4. Radiance and hydration: the skin looks more luminous and hydrated, with a visible "radiance boost" effect from the very first session.
5. Non-invasive and without major side effects: unlike other peels, PRX-T33 does not cause significant peeling or persistent redness, allowing an immediate return to normal activities.
A treatment compatible with summer
Thanks to its unique formulation of TCA modified by hydrogen peroxide, the PRX-T33 peel is considered safer for use in summer than traditional peels. Here is why:
1. No visible peeling: unlike traditional peels, PRX-T33 does not cause visible peeling, thereby reducing the risk of complications linked to sun exposure.
2. Rapid recovery: the skin recovers quickly after a PRX-T33 treatment, allowing an immediate return to daily activities with adequate sun protection.
3. Less irritation: the modulation of TCA by hydrogen peroxide reduces irritation and inflammation, making PRX-T33 more tolerable during the summer months.
Indications and uses of the PRX-T33 Peel
The PRX-T33 peel is indicated for a range of skin concerns, such as:
- Signs of ageing (wrinkles, loss of firmness)
- Acne scars
- Pigmentation spots and melasma
- Loss of radiance and tone
It can be used on the face, neck, décolleté and even the body, to treat stretch marks and other skin imperfections.
Results and frequency of treatments
Results are visible from the very first session, with more radiant, smoother skin. For optimal results, several sessions may be needed, generally spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. A typical protocol includes between 4 and 6 sessions.
Can I have a peel in summer?
It is possible to have a peel in summer, but it requires extra precautions to protect the skin from sun damage. Rigorous use of sunscreen, avoiding direct sun exposure and choosing appropriate peels are essential. The PRX-T33 peel can be a safer option during this period thanks to its specific advantages. However, it is always recommended to consult a professional before having a peel in summer to make sure the treatment is suited to your skin type and specific needs. Discover our in-centre peels.
