PRX-T₃₃ has a unique combination of three important ingredients to have the best clinical effect without any downtime.

Tricloroacetic acid (TCA) (33%): TCA has been used in chemical peels for many years and does achieve great benefits for the skin although its use is limited due to the amount of damage it can cause to the surface of the skin. TCA stimulates the growth of new skin cells, has an anti-inflammatory action, helps to clean the pores, destroys bacteria associated with acne and increases the collagen and elasticity of the skin.

Hydrogen peroxide (3%): H₂O₂ is known for its strong antiseptic properties but when applied to the skin, also releases a huge amount of oxygen which nourishes the skin and makes it more receptive to other agents. Scientific studies have shown that it promotes the healing of wounds, helps remodel the skin’s extracellular matrix and reduces inflammation. When combined with TCA, it enhances penetration and efficacy.

Kojic Acid (5%): This has been used in many products and peels to deal with pigmentation problems for lightening and brightening. It is a potent suppressor of melanin production.

This treatment treats a variety of skin complaints and is suitable for all skin types.

PRX-T₃₃ was developed with safety in mind, containing proven and safe ingredients that have a wealth of evidence for their use. It is suitable for all ages, skin types and skin colours.

There are no needles and the procedure is non-invasive. It may create a mild stinging or burning sensation but no pain, no downtime and no peeling. It is non-photosensitsing so can be performed any time of the year.

You may not be suitable for treatment if you have any of the following:

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
• Infection/inflammation at the injection site including herpetic outbreaks
• An impaired immune system or undergoing treatment for cancer
• Allergy to any of the ingredients of the peel
• Sensitive/irritable skin

Aftercare products are required following the treatment and these will be discussed with you at your free consultation.

Complications that may occur include:

• Prolonged peeling in areas with a very thick corneal layer which can last a few days.
• Prolonged redness, particularly on delicate skin.
• Intense burning sensation on application of the peel can occur on sensitive skin.
• Delayed redness, either widespread or in patches.
• Dark patches appearing within a few days, often due to drying of thicker layers of skin and settles within a few days.
• Allergy to any of the ingredients of the treatment.

PRX-T₃₃ is a medical procedure to help improve the hydration, texture and pigmentation of the skin.

It is advised to avoid any exfoliating products (such as glycolic, lactic, salicylic acids) and retinol (Vitamin A) products on your skin for one week prior to treatment and until healing is complete. Similarly, avoid shaving or waxing the area for a few days prior to treatment. The procedure should not be performed alongside any other exfoliating treatments including other skin peels or microdermabrasion without the agreement of your treating practitioner. The treatment should not be performed on irritated or sunburnt skin and it is recommended to avoid tanning and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks.

If you have previously suffered with cold-sores, you must disclose this to the practitioner prior to treatment as you may require medication to prevent an outbreak.

If you have had any recent beauty or aesthetic treatments, this should be discussed with your practitioner to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the procedure.

A medical history form must be completed prior to any treatment.

There will be some mild discomfort experienced during the treatment.

In normal circumstances, there is no downtime.

Following treatment, there may be some transient heat, redness, swelling, tenderness. The treated area may peel which may last for up to seven days. It is essential to use the correct aftercare products as prescribed by the practitioner to aid any the effects of the procedure. Although the peel is non-photosensitising, it is recommended to use a high SPF sun protectant during the healing process.
