Let’s be honest, most of us want our skin to look better, but not at the cost of walking around with peeling skin or hiding out for a week. That’s the biggest issue with traditional chemical peels. The results can be great, but getting there is… a process.
That’s why we love PRX Derm Perfexion.
This is a treatment we offer here at Head and Heart that honestly just makes sense for people who want smoother, brighter skin without downtime. No flaking, no redness that sticks around, no guessing what your skin will look like tomorrow. It just works, and it works quietly.
What Is It, Exactly?
It’s technically called a biorevitalization treatment. Sounds fancy, but all it really means is that it helps your skin rebuild and repair from within. PRX was developed in Italy and uses a unique combo of TCA (a type of acid), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid.
But here’s the important part: it doesn’t peel your skin.
Instead of burning or exfoliating the surface, it works below it, right where your collagen lives. So you don’t get the trauma, but you do get the boost.
We use it for all sorts of concerns: dull skin, large pores, fine lines, acne scars, uneven tone. If your skin feels tired or just off, this can be a reset without the recovery.
What About PRX Plus?
Same concept, but with a little extra support for more mature or looser skin. It includes a peptide blend that helps give the skin more lift and firmness. A lot of our clients in their 40s and up gravitate toward PRX Plus, or we might recommend it if we’re layering it into a bigger treatment plan.
So, What Does It Feel Like?
Honestly? Pretty easy.
We apply the solution in layers, gently massaging it into the skin. You might feel a little warmth or tingling, especially during the first few layers, but it’s short-lived. Most people are surprised by how quick and comfortable it is.
Right after, your skin will look glowy. Maybe a little flushed, but in a healthy way, not like you need to go home and ice your face. You can literally go back to work, run errands, grab lunch, whatever.
Do You Need a Series?
Usually, yes. For long-term results, we recommend a series of four sessions spaced about a week apart. Think of it like building momentum; each treatment builds on the last. After that, a touch-up here or there a few times a year can help keep your skin in that healthy, balanced zone.
Before Your Appointment
It’s simple stuff. No retinoids, exfoliants, or acids for about three days before your treatment. Come in with clean skin — no makeup, no heavy creams. And let us know if you’ve had any other recent treatments like microneedling or laser. We’ll help with timing if needed.
What You’ll Do After
This is where it gets easy again.
There’s no recovery in the traditional sense, but your skin is doing a lot behind the scenes. So we recommend skipping hot yoga, saunas, or anything sweaty for 24 hours. Avoid strong skincare products (like acids or retinol) for a few days. Just keep things simple, gentle cleanser, good hydrating serum, and SPF 50 every day.
That’s it.
Can You Combine It With Other Treatments?
Absolutely. We often use PRX alongside microneedling, our NOUVADerm laser, or bio-stimulatory fillers like Radiesse. When we build out a skin program, PRX is often part of the puzzle, especially for clients who want to support collagen over time.
The goal isn’t to chase trends. It’s to help your skin stay strong, hydrated, and vibrant in a way that fits your life.
Final Thoughts
PRX Derm Perfexion is one of those treatments that doesn’t rely on drama to prove it’s working. It just helps your skin function better, feel smoother, and look healthier. The changes are subtle but real, and that’s exactly what a lot of our clients are looking for.
