When Your Skin Needs a Reset
Without the Recovery Cost
Conventional skin rejuvenation usually means a tradeoff: chemical peels give you brighter, smoother skin but require 5 to 10 days of visible peeling and strict sun avoidance. Microneedling produces collagen, but recovery includes 1 to 3 days of redness and a few days of avoiding makeup. Laser resurfacing extends downtime even further. For Florida professionals and busy parents, taking a week off the calendar simply is not feasible, especially during high sun exposure months.
PRX changes the equation. The formulation combines low-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid in a topical solution that Dr. Farag massages into clean skin. The active ingredients penetrate the deeper dermis without injuring the epidermis, so there is no visible peeling, no downtime, and no sun-sensitivity window. Results build over a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart: brighter tone, firmer texture, refined pores, and softer fine lines.
What Is PRX Treatment?
Bio-Revitalization Without the Peel
PRX, commonly referred to as PRX-T33 (the original Italian formulation), is a topical bio-revitalization treatment that combines a low concentration of trichloroacetic acid (TCA, typically 33 percent), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid. The hydrogen peroxide acts as a barrier protector, allowing the TCA to penetrate the deeper dermis where it stimulates fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and elastin remodeling, without injuring the surface skin or producing visible peeling.
At RegalMed Clinic, Dr. Farag performs PRX as a 30-minute in-office treatment. The skin is cleansed, the PRX solution is massaged in by hand for several minutes until it is fully absorbed, and a hyaluronic acid serum and SPF are applied. There is no needling, no peeling, no redness window, and no sun-sensitivity restriction beyond standard daily SPF use. PRX is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I through VI) and is one of the few rejuvenation protocols suitable year-round in Florida.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRX?
Personalized Candidacy Review
PRX treatment is appropriate for nearly all adults seeking brighter, smoother, firmer skin without downtime. Because there is no epidermal injury, PRX is one of the few rejuvenation protocols safely used on all Fitzpatrick skin types and during high-sun seasons. Dr. Farag confirms candidacy through a skin assessment and goal review.
Ideal Candidates for PRX
- Adults with dull, uneven, or sun-damaged skin who cannot afford visible peeling or downtime
- Patients with melanin-rich skin who want safe brightening and pigment balancing
- Individuals who dislike needles and prefer a topical alternative to microneedling
- Florida residents who want year-round skin rejuvenation despite sun exposure
- Those wanting to treat face, neck, decolletage, hands, and stretch marks in a single protocol
Who Should Wait or Avoid PRX
- Active skin infection, herpes outbreak, or open wounds in the treatment area
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Known hypersensitivity to TCA, hydrogen peroxide, or kojic acid
- Active severe inflammatory dermatitis or uncontrolled rosacea flare
- Recent isotretinoin use within 6 months (per standard skin treatment guidelines)
Dr. Farag reviews medical history, current skincare regimen, and goals during your consultation and recommends a customized PRX series with home skincare support.
What Happens During PRX
Cleanse & Prep
The treatment area is gently cleansed and dried to maximize absorption of the PRX solution.
PRX Application
Dr. Farag massages the PRX-T33 solution into the skin for several minutes until fully absorbed.
Hydration & SPF
A hyaluronic acid serum and SPF are layered on to support hydration and Florida sun defense.
Series Plan
You receive a personalized 4 to 6 session schedule and home care plan to extend results.
Side Effects & Safety Profile
Honest Risk Discussion
PRX has one of the most favorable safety profiles in non-invasive skin rejuvenation. Because the formulation includes hydrogen peroxide as a barrier protector, the TCA does not produce visible epidermal injury or peeling. Common, transient effects include a brief tingling or warmth during application, mild skin tightness for several hours, and a mild glow flush that resolves within an hour.
Less common effects include temporary mild skin sensitivity in patients with very reactive skin, mild dryness in the days following treatment if home skincare is interrupted, and rare paradoxical pigmentation in patients with active hormonal melasma (which Dr. Farag screens for and may pre-treat).
Rare risks include allergic contact reaction to a component of the PRX solution, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in extremely reactive skin types, and infection if active herpes or other skin infection is present during treatment. Dr. Farag screens for contraindications, reviews informed consent before each session, and pauses the protocol if skin is irritated or healing.

PRX Treatment FAQ
What Patients Ask Dr. Farag
01 Is PRX really a chemical peel without the peeling?
PRX uses low-concentration TCA combined with hydrogen peroxide, which protects the surface epidermis. The active ingredients reach the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen, but you do not experience visible peeling, redness, or recovery.
02 How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance every 3 to 6 months sustains results.
03 When will I see results?
Most patients notice an immediate glow after the first session. Tone and texture improvements build through the series, with full collagen remodeling continuing 4 to 8 weeks after the final session.
04 Can I do PRX in the summer?
Yes. PRX is one of the few rejuvenation protocols safe to use during Florida sun season. Daily SPF is required, but there is no extended sun-sensitivity window.
05 Is PRX safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. PRX is approved for Fitzpatrick I through VI and is widely used as a safer alternative to traditional chemical peels for melanin-rich skin.
06 Can PRX treat areas other than the face?
Yes. PRX is commonly used on the neck, decolletage, hands, arms, and stretch mark areas. Pricing varies by area.
07 How is PRX different from microneedling?
PRX is needle-free and topical only, with zero downtime. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injury and produces some redness for 1 to 3 days. Many patients combine the two for layered results.
08 Are results permanent?
PRX produces real collagen and tone improvements that last, but skin continues to age. Maintenance every 3 to 6 months keeps the glow consistent. Daily SPF, hydration, and skincare extend results significantly.
