How does it work?

PRX-T33 is the innovative ally for skin rejuvenation. It is a regenerative medical treatment suitable for all ages: it maintains the characteristics of freshness and health of younger skin, it reverses the biological clock of the mature one. PRX-T33 is also an “instant” treatment, designed for those looking for an immediate effect, to obtain a younger, fresh and luminous skin. Precisely for this characteristic, the revolutionary PRX-Therapy is loved by actors and VIPs and is their best kept beauty secret.

The treatment is performed by massaging the active ingredients into the deep layers of the skin. This short session, painless and without downtime, immediately improves the complexion. This “instant” effect, linked to the long-term one, has made PRX-T33 famous all over the world, perfect for all skin types, from the lightest to the darkest. Created by Dr. Rossana Castellana, one of the pioneers of aesthetic medicine in Europe it is present in over 40 countries and should be carried out exclusively by certified specialists. Patients choose it for its immediate rejuvenating effects, no “downtime”, simple and painless application.

About the procedure

The face is cleansed and a prep solution is applied. The PRX-T33 is rubbed into the skin using a firm upward pressure, 2-4 layers are applied until we see the skin tightening. The PRX is washed off with water and a rich moisturiser is applied. TCA bypasses the epithelium, which means no pain and no peeling. Growth factors will be stimulated that trigger the healing process, thus minimising lines, tightening skin and reducing scars. The overall result is a visible tightening of the face and glowing, dewy skin. As the dermis has been stimulated, the improvements will continue post procedure.

The treatment is around 30 minutes for the face and up to 60 minutes for larger areas. There are no needles involved, no pain and no downtime. You will experience a tingling sensation, some might feel slight burning but most patients find the procedure very relaxing.

You will be able to continue with your routine after the treatment, you may experience a little redness although this will subside within a couple of hours. Due to the nature of the peel you can resume activities immediately and no need to avoid makeup.

How many treatments are required and when will I see results?

Some results of the PRX-T33 are immediate such as a tightening, brightening effect, which will improve further over the coming weeks. Many clients like this treatment to boost the skin prior to a photoshoot or special event.For maximum results we recommend between 2-5 treatments or until you see the desired level of tightening, you can then schedule maintenance treatments between 6-12 months depending on your age and skin concerns.

What is the precare and aftercare?

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PRX-T33 is a medical procedure to help improve the hydration, texture and pigmentation of the skin.

It is advised to avoid any exfoliating products (such as glycolic, lactic, salicylic acids) and retinol (Vitamin A) products on your skin for one week prior to treatment and until healing is complete. Similarly, avoid shaving or waxing the area for a few days prior to treatment. The procedure should not be performed alongside any other exfoliating treatments including other skin peels or microdermabrasion without the agreement of your treating practitioner. The treatment should not be performed on irritated or sunburnt skin and it is recommended to avoid tanning and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks.

If you have previously suffered with cold-sores, you must disclose this to the practitioner prior to treatment as you may require medication to prevent an outbreak.

If you have had any recent beauty or aesthetic treatments, this should be discussed with your practitioner to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the procedure.

A medical history form must be completed prior to any treatment.

If you are feeling unwell on the day of treatment, please contact the clinic to re-arrange your appointment.
