Dullness, uneven tone, and early signs of aging can make even the best skincare routine feel like it’s not doing enough. If you’ve been researching advanced treatments, you may have come across PRX and wondered if it’s a good option.
At Youthology Medical, PRX treatments are performed under the guidance of Dr. Craig Grobman, a nationally recognized aesthetic physician known for his artistic, personalized approach and superior results.
This guide explains how a PRX session at Youthology Medical works, what the experience is like, and how your skin may respond in the days following the appointment.
What Is PRX?
PRX combines trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid to stimulate collagen production while improving the skin’s appearance. Unlike traditional chemical peels that primarily exfoliate the outer layer, PRX works deeper within the skin while leaving the surface largely intact.
What Happens During a PRX Session?
A typical PRX appointment is relatively quick and comfortable. The visit involves:
- Skin Cleansing: Your provider will begin by cleansing the skin to remove oil, makeup, and impurities.
- Application of the PRX Solution: The specialized PRX formula is gently massaged into the skin in layers. The provider carefully monitors the skin’s response throughout the process.
- Absorption and Activation: The solution penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture.
- Moisturizer and Sunscreen: Once the treatment is complete, soothing products and sunscreen are applied to protect the skin.
Most sessions take about 30 minutes, making it possible to fit this service into a busy schedule.
How Your Skin May Look Immediately After Treatment
After your appointment, you may notice:
- A mild warmth or tight sensation
- Slight redness that fades quickly
- Skin that looks brighter and more hydrated
Most patients go back to normal activities soon after their visit.
What to Expect in the Days After PRX
Over the next several days, you may experience the following as collagen stimulation continues:
- Subtle tightening or firmness
- Improved skin glow and texture
- Mild flaking in some cases
