How often do I repeat the PRX Derm Perfexion?

When it is applied with a specific technique, it provides nearly immediate aesthetic improvement and deep hydration. This means you will see the benefits of treatment in a single session. However, repeating the application of PRX Derm Perfexion once every 7 to 12 enhances the aesthetic effect. The number of treatments to maximize your results will be determined during your consultation. 

On average 4–6 treatments are recommended for best results.

Is there any downtime after having PRX Derm Perfexion?

Remarkably, there is NO downtime!

Can the application of PRX Derm Perfexion be performed at any age?

Yes, PRX Derm Perfexion is safe to use on patients aged 5 and upwards. In our experience, it helps in these ways:

• 5-12 years: scars (chicken pox, impetigo)
• 12-25 years: smooth the outer layer of the skin, including individuals with mild acne. Facilitates the function of the skin and corrects the appearance of stretch marks.
• 25-45 years: restores luminosity, firmness, and texture of the face and body It helps to prevent skin aging, sagging breast skin, and stretch marks.
•  Over 45 years: Improves laxity, color, pore size, and luminosity of the face, neck, chest skin, and other areas of the body

* Please note that we will only treat patients 18 and older.

Is PRX Derm Perfexion right for my skin type?

Yes, PRX Derm Perfexion is safe to use on all skin types. There is no risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin types.  Those who are more prone to irritation or have very delicate skin will have fewer layers applied, and a more delicate massage is used in sensitive patients.

Those with seborrheic dermatitis, herpetic eruptions, angular cheilitis, or skin otherwise damaged are not candidates. If you have sensitive skin, you may react with redness or report a burning sensation during the session. If this occurs, the session can be stopped and cool compresses are applied to neutralize any reaction.

How long does the application of PRX Derm Perfexion take in office?

A face and neck application takes around 30 minutes, including pre- and post- application. If treatment is combined with other technologies, such as microneedling with/or without radio frequency, Clear and Brilliant laser, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Lightwave, and PRF - (Plasma Rich Fibrin), treatment times range from 30 to 90 minutes. 

Why is PRX Derm Perfexion different from a peel?

Peels work by removing old skin cells and exposing the new skin underneath. This process can be more or less invasive - depending on the depth and aggressiveness of the peeling agent used, but all peels expose you to downtime (i.e. you’ll have to wait for the flakes to fall off) and risks(i.e. hypo- and hyper-pigmentation, infection). PRX Derm Perfexion Plus on the other hand helps to stimulate the skin to create new collagen, which gives it structure and elasticity, with no downtime and none of the risks commonly associated with peels.

How do I prepare for a PRX Derm Perfexion treatment?

It is important to discontinue the use of Retinol and other exfoliants 2 weeks prior to treatment.

*Individual results do vary from person to person. More treatments may be needed depending on the issue and skin maturity.
