PRX Plus peel

The most intense version of needle-free topical biostimulation: more renewal, for dull skin, marks and firmness that is starting to give

  • 30-40 minutes

About the treatment

What does it involve?

It is the most powerful version of the same family of peels: trichloroacetic acid at a high concentration, buffered with hydrogen peroxide and with kojic acid. The formula is reworked with stabilisers and an adjusted pH, and that makes it more biostimulating than the one used in the cleanse, without becoming harsher on the surface.

It is still needle-free and still does not leave your face peeling in patches, but the work is different: more layers are applied and the aim is to reorganise the dermis, not just to give radiance. The objective is density and firmness, as well as tone.

A more biostimulating formula No needles No peeling in patches

Its ground is the areas where the male face gives way first: cheeks, jawline and neck. Skin that has lost smoothness, that looks matt, with old marks and with a contour that is no longer as clean as it was a few years ago.

Here there is no facial cleanse involved, which is why the appointment is shorter: the skin is prepared and the time is devoted to the active. What we are after is renewal, not hygiene.

Like any treatment of this kind, it starts with a skin assessment. If your case is resolved with a gentler version, we will tell you: stepping up the intensity for no reason improves nothing.

What does it involve?

PRX Cleanse or PRX Plus Peel: which one is yours

  • PRX cleansing

    What it does: cleans the pores and gives an entry-level stimulus

    Who for: dull or congested skin, first times and maintenance: it is the PRX Cleanse

    Objective: radiance and decongested skin

    Appointment: longer, because it includes the cleanse

  • PRX Plus peel

    What it does: more layers of active and more dermal renewal

    Who for: marks, matt skin and mild sagging on cheeks, jaw and neck

    Objective: density, firmness and tone

    Appointment: shorter and focused on the active

  • They are used as a ladder

    The usual approach: we start with the gentle version if the skin is sensitive or reactive

    Then: the intensity is stepped up once the skin tolerates the active well

    And after that: it goes back down to maintenance

What does it act on?

It works on the quality of the tissue. It does not fill, it does not define the contour and it does not treat active acne.

What improves

  • Dull, matt skin with no glow
  • Post-inflammatory acne marks and spots
  • Uneven texture and fine surface relief
  • Loss of smoothness in the cheeks
  • A less clean jawline
  • Thin, wrinkled neck skin
  • Superficial wrinkles and a lack of density
  • Marks and stretch marks on the body

Common reasons for consultation

  • Skin that looks tired even when you sleep well
  • Noticing that your face has lost firmness without actually drooping
  • A neck that gives your age away more than your face
  • Acne marks that no longer improve with creams
  • Wanting a powerful treatment without needles or peeling
  • Looking for a result before an important date

What is the session like?

  1. Assessment and decision on intensity

    The skin is examined and we decide how many layers it will take. The intensity is adjusted at each session; it is not fixed in advance.

  2. Preparing the skin

    Make-up removal and degreasing. The active needs a clean, dry surface in order to penetrate evenly.

  3. Application in layers

    It is massaged in layer by layer up to the intended intensity, with particular attention to the cheeks, jaw and neck.

  4. Monitoring during the application

    The skin's reaction is monitored. You will feel heat and stinging that rises and falls with each layer.

  5. Removal, moisturising and protection

    The product is removed, the skin is deeply moisturised and sealed with sun protection before you leave.

  6. Session plan

    Usually 4-6 sessions 7-10 days apart. The schedule is adjusted according to how your skin responds.

  7. Maintenance

    Once the plan is finished, it is maintained with one session every 2-3 months or by alternating with the gentler version.

What it achieves

  • More density and better smoothness of the skin
  • A more even tone and less of a matt look
  • Acne marks better disguised
  • A slightly cleaner jaw contour
  • Firmer neck skin
  • Finer texture to the touch
  • Collagen stimulation without injections
  • No peeling in patches and no time off
  • Suitable at any time of year

Care before and after

Before the session

  • Stop retinoids, acids and exfoliants 5-7 days beforehand
  • Do not shave on the same day, better the day before
  • Do not arrive with skin that is sunburnt or irritated by the sun
  • Tell us if you get recurrent cold sores: a preventive course may be needed
  • Tell us if you have taken oral isotretinoin in recent months
  • Do not combine it on the same day with another technique on the same area

After the session

  • Respect the time we tell you before washing your face
  • Plenty of moisturiser morning and night for the first few days
  • SPF 50+ sun protection daily, no exceptions
  • No make-up or colognes on the area for the first few hours
  • Avoid sauna, steam, swimming pools and intense exercise for 24-48 hours
  • Go back to shaving after 48 hours and with a new blade
  • Do not go back to acids or retinol until 5-7 days have passed
  • Do not rub or exfoliate the skin even if it feels dry

What is to be expected is mild or moderate redness for a few hours, a feeling of tightness and skin drier than usual for three or four days. Some very fine peeling may appear, especially around the mouth, but not the patchy peeling of a classic peel. If you feel persistent stinging, blisters or redness that is getting worse, get in touch with us.

Frequently asked questions

So is it the PRX Cleanse or this one for me?

If what you want is radiance, clean pores and skin that looks rested, the PRX Cleanse is yours. If what bothers you are marks, matt skin and that firmness starting to give way in the cheeks, jaw and neck, then yes: this one.

How much more intense is it?

The formula is more biostimulating and more layers are applied, so the stimulus is greater and so is the reaction during the application. What does not change is the important part: it still does not break the surface of the skin, which is why there is no peeling in patches.

How many sessions and how often?

Usually between 4 and 6 sessions 7-10 days apart. After that you move on to maintenance, with one session every 2-3 months or alternating with the gentle version.

Does it sting a lot?

It stings more than the gentle version, especially in the first seconds of each layer and in the finer areas. It rises and falls on its own, needs no anaesthetic and by the end of the session there is no discomfort left.

Can I go to work the next day?

Yes. The redness goes down within a few hours and what is left is dry, tight skin for a few days. Even so, if you have an important date, it is better to leave three or four days' margin.

Does it work for sagging?

It helps with mild sagging, improving the density and smoothness of the tissue. If the drooping is obvious, this peel is not the right tool and the honest thing is to say so at the assessment and propose another route.

Can it be done in summer?

Yes, because it is not a photosensitising treatment and it can be done on tanned skin. The condition is daily sun protection and not spending the day in the sun right after the session.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, it is common to follow it with firming or skin quality treatments, but not on the same day on the same area. The order and the timings are defined at the assessment.

Who should not have it done?

It is not indicated with an infection or an active cold sore, a dermatitis or rosacea flare-up, open wounds, an allergy to any of the components, recent treatment with oral isotretinoin, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Step up with judgement

We assess your skin and tell you what intensity it needs. If the gentle version is enough for you, we will say so.
