Why is PRX DERM PERFEXION different than a peel? Although (TCA) has historically been used as a peeling agent, PRX Derm Perfexion itself, IS NOT A PEEL! Peels are known for the inconvenience of prolonged downtime (i.e., you will have to wait for the “peeling” to subside) and since outcomes can be difficult to control, there are increased risks (i.e., hypo- and hyper-pigmentation, infection.) This product delivers truly remarkable, age-defying benefits to the look and feel of skin without the peeling or downtime associated with chemical peels, injectables, or other invasive aesthetic treatments.
What are the benefits of this product? PRX Derm Perfexion is a no downtime and no photosensitivity treatment that is safe for all skin types and targets aging skin, texture, laxity, wrinkles, and dull skin for complete rejuvenation of the face and body.
Can I have the treatment if I have active acne? Yes, but active acne can cause the skin to be more fragile and sensitive than normal. It is recommended to consult with your provider before scheduling your appointment. If you are on a topical retinoic acid (isotretinoin), you must suspend its use 15 days before your treatment.
What is the process like during treatment? After a delicate cleansing, the provider will apply PRX Derm Perfexion with a certain massage technique, without using needles or injections. After the provider has applied the correct number of layers for your indication, they will rinse the residue from your skin with water and apply a post-treatment cream. Your provider will instruct you on the home care program before you leave your appointment.
Is there any discomfort during the treatment? Generally, the treatment is well tolerated by most patients. Only minimal itching or burning sensation during treatment is reported and is considered normal – especially during the first treatment. Please communicate with your provider if this sensation increases during treatment and if treatment becomes uncomfortable.
How many treatments do I need to see results? You will notice an immediate improvement after 1 session, but a full series (min. of 4 treatments) is needed for longer-lasting collagen formation.
What are the home care products? Immediately after and in the days following the treatment, you will apply Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin to restore your skin’s natural barrier. On the day following the treatment, you will apply Facial Smoothing Fluid in the evening and wait 30 minutes before applying any other products. For PRX Derm Perfexion on the body, on the day following the treatment, you will apply Moisturizing Body Cream in the evening.
Am I able to work out, wear makeup and/or be in the sun after treatment? SPF and makeup can be applied immediately after treatment. You may exercise after treatment, but please avoid saunas/steam baths for a minimum of 2 days post-treatment. Yes, you may go in the sun provided you use a high-level SPF suitable to your skin type.
Is there any downtime after the treatment? No. You will be able to resume your social and professional life immediately after the treatment. Any redness or light flaking can be alleviated by using Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin. |
