PRX-T33 Peel for Immediate Aesthetic Improvement and Deep Hydration
PRX-T33 is an advanced skin rejuvenating treatment that firms and smooths the skin. It has both an immediate effect and continual improvement over weeks after a single treatment.
What is PRX-T33?
PRX-T33 is an innovative treatment that is safe for all skin-types that restores and improves a variety of skin imperfections, as well as overall skin health.
The PRX-T33 formula is a combination of trichloroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. The peel penetrates down to the basal layer of the skin, which promotes the stimulation of fibroblasts and growth factors to regenerate and renew the skin without causing inflammation or damage.

Overall, PRX-T33 can address:
Fine lines and Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation / Melasma
Skin Tightening
Scars / Acne Scars
Stretch Marks
Enlarged Pores
Dull Skin
How does PRX-T33 improve my skin?
Patients who receive this treatment will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a firmer, brighter, and more hydrated-looking complexion after a single treatment. The treatment may result in minimal flaking and/or peeling for some, though for most, does not exfoliate or cause any peeling of the skin. The immediate results post-treatment will continue to improve in the following weeks.
Another benefit of this treatment is that it isn’t photosensitizing, so you can do it anytime of the year, including the summer months! Please keep in mind that you will still need to wear your daily SPF.
PRX-T33 can be used to improve the skin on the face, including the lips, eye area, neck, hands, and décolleté.

What is the PRX-T33 treatment like?
The treatment requires approximately 30 minutes for application. There may be minimal to no downtime and provides immediate firming. Dryness can occur 1-2 days post application.
How many PRX-T33 treatments do I need?
While some of the results of PRX-T33 are immediate and will further improve in the following weeks. We recommend a series of PRX-T33 treatments until the desired results are achieved. Based on your goals and skin quality, our providers will establish a customized treatment based on your specific needs.
PRX-T33 can also be used in combination with other treatment modalities including MOXI and BBL Hero for patients who want to maximize their skin changing results.
