Having the perfect skin is a dream we all indulge in, but it’s never as easy as it seems. Sometimes, bad genetics, sun damage, and even natural aging can make the skin look like it lacks vitality. Chemical peels are a popular way to restore that youthful appearance, but they’re only recommended for those who can handle the recovery time of the peeling process. For social butterflies, an alternative solution is the PRX Derm Perfexion treatment. At Hotchandani Laser, Vein & Cosmetic Surgery, we can offer PRX Derm Perfexion procedures to anyone looking for a chemical peel but wanting to bypass the peeling process.
The PRX Derm Perfexion treatment is a versatile option that can address various skin concerns, whether they result from aging or sun damage. If you have discoloration on your face, large pores, skin laxity issues, or fine lines and wrinkles, this procedure can easily help you correct them. Individuals with stretch marks and scarring (caused by acne or other injuries) can also benefit from this procedure.
The procedure is best recommended for those who want to enjoy the effects of a chemical peel but do not have the social availability. Since this is a “no peel” type of system, it is the perfect option for those who cannot handle the peeling process. It’s also a gentle treatment, making it a good choice for sensitive skin.
While the PRX Derm Perfection treatment benefits almost every patient, you may want to express caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have fresh wounds, active infections, or sores on the skin, you should wait until they heal before you get the treatment. If you have known allergies to the ingredients, you should consider an alternative treatment. A consultation with Dr. Hotchandani can help determine whether or not you are a candidate.
Derm Perfexion (previously known as PRX-T33) is a facial treatment applied to the skin similarly to a chemical peel, but it acts differently. The unique formula of the treatment reaches deep into the dermal layer, stimulating natural rejuvenation and triggering your body’s healing response. As the cell turnover process kicks in, the damaged layers of the skin are flushed out, leaving only the healthy cells behind.
The formula is made from various active ingredients, including TCA, which makes up about one-third of the content. This stimulates fibroblast growth within the skin while inhibiting acne-causing bacteria. Kojic acid within the treatment halts melanin production, whereas hydrogen peroxide removes unwanted particles from your skin.
The procedure is pain-free and takes 15 to 20 minutes to perform, depending on the size of the treated area. Provider will thoroughly cleanse the skin and then apply the Derm Perfexion solution, gently massaging it into the skin. Depending on the number of imperfections on the skin, you may receive between one to three layers of treatment.
