How Does PRX Work?
PRX is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen production and renews healthy skin with a more even texture and tone. Collagen is a protein that naturally gives the skin elasticity and structure for a firm texture. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to loose or crepey skin and gradual development of wrinkles on the face and body. PRX topical serums use a patented blend of TCA, hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out, encouraging collagen production in the deep layers without removing or damaging the superficial layers of skin.

What Treatments Complement PRX?
HydraFacial
The HydraFacial is a three-step treatment that involves deep skin cleansing, exfoliation and extractions to remove damaged skin cells and surface debris, and serum infusion customized to each patient’s needs. PRX can be used with a HydraFacial treatment to promote cellular renewal and simultaneously build results in the deeper layers of skin.
Microneedling
Combining microneedling with PRX amplifies the effects of collagen stimulation, resulting in more dramatic transformation in skin tone and texture. Patients can enjoy smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin by combining these treatments.
Dr. Benjamin is amazing! He takes the time to answer every question which is so important when making a surgical decision of any kind. He has been so kind and educational at all of my post ops that I couldn’t be more grateful for. I will recommend him to anyone considering plastic/ reconstructive surgery.

How Can I Maintain My Results?
Patients will immediately see smoother, firmer skin with a radiant glow after PRX treatments. Results will continue to develop for several weeks as new collagen fibers develop and healthy skin is resurfaced. While many patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, a series of treatments can be scheduled to provide more dramatic rejuvenation and maintain results. Protecting the skin from sun exposure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will also encourage long-lasting results.
What is PRX topical collagen biostimulator, and how does it work?
PRX topical collagen biostimulator is a non-invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional chemical peels or laser treatments, PRX works at the deeper layers of the skin without causing visible peeling or damage to the surface.
What skin concerns can PRX treatments address?
PRX treatments can effectively target a range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging or loose skin, stretch marks, scars, and uneven texture. It is also beneficial for improving overall skin tone, hydration, and radiance.
Is PRX topical collagen biostimulator suitable for all skin types?
Yes, PRX topical collagen biostimulator is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. Since it works without causing peeling, redness, or excessive irritation, it avoids the risk of hyperpigmentation that some traditional resurfacing treatments can trigger.
How does PRX stimulate collagen without damaging the skin’s surface?
PRX uses a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at a low concentration and hydrogen peroxide, which penetrate the dermis without harming the outer layer of the skin. This mechanism triggers fibroblast activity, encouraging collagen and elastin production while preserving the epidermis.
What ingredients are in PRX topical collagen biostimulator?
The key ingredients in PRX topical collagen biostimulator include low-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide (Hu2082Ou2082), and kojic acid. TCA stimulates collagen production, hydrogen peroxide protects the skin and enhances cellular repair, and kojic acid helps brighten and even skin tone.
How quickly will I see results from PRX treatments, and how long do they last?
Many patients notice improvements in skin texture, firmness, and radiance after just one session of PRX. Optimal results usually appear after a series of treatments, with effects continuing to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases.
How many sessions of PRX are typically needed for noticeable improvement?
Most patients achieve noticeable results with a series of three to six treatments, spaced one to two weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the patient’s skin condition, treatment goals, and the area being treated.
What treatments can be combined with PRX to enhance results?
PRX can be safely combined with other non-invasive treatments to enhance results, such as microneedling, dermal fillers, and laser therapy. Combining PRX with these procedures can further stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and address specific concerns like fine lines, scars, and hyperpigmentation.
How can I maintain the results of my PRX treatment over time?
To maintain PRX results, it is important to follow a consistent skincare routine that includes sun protection, antioxidant serums, and regular hydration. Periodic maintenance treatments, typically every few months, can help sustain collagen stimulation and skin firmness.

Is PRX pregnancy safe?
PRX is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as there is limited research on its safety in these situations. While the treatment is non-invasive and topical, it contains active ingredients such as TCA that may not be advisable for use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, your provider can recommend alternative safe skincare options. It’s always best to discuss your personal situation with a qualified professional before starting any treatment.
Will my skin peel after a PRX treatment?
Unlike traditional chemical peels, PRX is designed to stimulate collagen without causing significant peeling or downtime. Most patients may notice temporary redness or mild sensitivity, but visible peeling is uncommon. This makes PRX a great option for those who want skin rejuvenation without the recovery period associated with deeper peels. You can usually return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is PRX safe for patients with a history of melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Yes, PRX is generally safe for patients with melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, as it works in the deeper layers of skin without causing aggressive surface trauma. The treatment can help improve uneven skin tone while minimizing the risk of exacerbating pigmentation issues. However, it’s important to combine PRX with sun protection and a tailored skincare routine to maintain optimal results. Your provider can customize the treatment based on your skin type and history.
Will my results change if I stop treatments, and is there a risk of rebound skin laxity or pigmentation?
Results from PRX develop gradually as collagen production increases, and they can be maintained with ongoing treatments, healthy skincare, and sun protection. If you stop treatments, your skin will continue to age naturally, but there is no evidence of rebound laxity or worsening pigmentation caused by discontinuation. Many patients choose periodic maintenance sessions to preserve their refreshed skin and prevent future signs of aging.
When combining PRX with microneedling or HydraFacial, is it better to perform PRX before or after the other procedure?
When combining PRX with microneedling or HydraFacial, it is generally recommended to perform PRX after these procedures. Microneedling and HydraFacial prepare the skin by creating microchannels and cleansing surface debris, allowing the PRX serum to penetrate more effectively into the deeper layers. This sequence enhances collagen stimulation and optimizes results for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Your provider will tailor the timing based on your specific skin concerns and treatment goals.
