PRX-T33 Peel is a non-injectable bio-revitaliser used to restore the skin’s natural radiance
Imagine a medical TCA peel that doesn’t cause any damage to the outer surface of the skin but penetrates almost instantly to the deeper layers of the epidermis down to the basal layer where it can stimulate, renew and regenerate. Well, the solution has now arrived in the PRX-T33 medical peel. Made possible by the addition of hydrogen peroxide which modifies the skin barrier and promotes penetration without causing any harm or pain and producing an immediate and evident firming of the skin. Ideal to reduce fine lines, crepe skin, rehydrate and thicken the dermis. The addition of Kojic Acid to the formula also helps to deal with pigmentation issues.
The PRX-T33 is the next generation of bio revitaliser that does not require injections, it contains 33% TCA, Hydrogen Peroxide and Kojic Acid. This formulation provides all of the benefits of a high percentage TCA peel but without the associated side effects – discomfort and peeling, best of all there is no downtime thanks to the addition of the Hydrogen compound. The PRX difference is that the TCA penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin, this intense stimulation creates immediate hydration, firmness and tightening of the skin whilst leaving the top layer of the skin intact.
THE PRX DIFFERENCE
TCA Is a chemical agent that has long been used for peeling and treating damaged skin.
H2O2 in low concentrations will promote the healing of wounds, help remodel the extracellular matrix and regulate inflammation.
KOJIC ACID is an effective skin-whitener and depigmenting agent. It plays an important role in inhibiting the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur in susceptible individuals.

TREATMENT STEP BY STEP
Here is some essential information about the treatment and what to expect before, during and after your visit with us.
STEP 1
CONSULTATION
At Empire Clinic, nothing is more important to us than your health, safety and wellbeing. During your initial consultation, we discuss in depth what your wants and needs are and make a plan on how we can achieve that for you. We also talk through your medical history to make sure there aren't any potential contraindications. If you have any qualms or questions of your own, this appointment provides a great opportunity to ask away.
STEP 2
DURING YOUR TREATMENT
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.
