When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, combination treatments are the secret to unlocking long-lasting results. One standout treatment that’s been gaining momentum in the aesthetic world is the PRX Derm Perfexion facial. This powerful, no-downtime treatment not only delivers beautiful skin on its own, but it also pairs exceptionally well with popular procedures like skin tightening lasers and microneedling—amplifying results and prolonging the glow.

What Is the PRX Facial?

The PRX Derm Perfexion is a revolutionary biorevitalization treatment that uses a unique combination of 33% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid to rejuvenate the skin without the peeling or downtime you might expect from a chemical peel. It penetrates deeply into the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging cell turnover while leaving the surface layer of the skin intact.

The result is immediate radiance and tighter, smoother skin with no needles, no downtime, and no photosensitivity—meaning you can do it all year round, and don’t have to worry about being extra sun sensitive (not a valid reason not to wear sunscreen, though!).

Why PRX Works So Well with Other Treatments

PRX isn’t just a star on its own - it’s also a powerful team player. When combined with microneedling or laser treatments, PRX can:

1. Enhance Results

By stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture at a deeper level, PRX can amplify the effects of laser and microneedling treatments. Whether you’re addressing fine lines, acne scars, or dullness, PRX helps push those results further.  While not proven to extend the life of neurotoxins like Botox®, we have noticed that to be possible through anecdotal evidence with our own patients. PRX will surely enhance your results when treated a few weeks after Botox®, adding to your youthful glow.  

2. No Downtime!!!

If you are looking for some of the fabulous results of a chemical peel, but are not up for the peeling, this is a fantastic alternative.  The best thing is, you will be absolutely glowing from day 1, so you can be treated the morning of a big event.  You are also able to apply makeup an hour or two after treatment.  Keep in mind, though, that this may vary if you add additional treatments.

3. Speed Up Recovery

PRX supports skin healing and regeneration, which can help reduce redness, dryness, or irritation sometimes experienced after more intensive procedures.

How to Pair PRX with Laser or Microneedling

Most patients benefit from a series of 4 PRX treatments, spaced one week apart. Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend:

  • PRX before microneedling to prep the skin and stimulate collagen
  • PRX after laser treatments to maintain and enhance results over time
  • Alternating PRX and microneedling as part of a long-term rejuvenation plan

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRX is safe for all skin types and tones, and it's ideal for anyone looking to improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation or melasma
  • Acne scars and texture issues
  • Laxity or dullness
  • Uneven tone

If you’ve invested in laser or microneedling, consider PRX your skin’s best friend. It doesn’t just maintain your results—it makes them better.
