What is PRX Derm Perfexion?

PRX Derm Perfexion is a 45-minute noninvasive skin care protocol which provides immediate skin improvement on the face or body with no downtime. This treatment is safe for all skin types and targets aging skin, texture, laxity, wrinkles, and dull skin for complete rejuvenation of the face and décolletage.

For best results, we recommend four treatments in total, once a week for a month. Each series includes two aftercare products at no additional cost: Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin and Facial Smoothing Fluid.

What are the benefits of PRX Derm Perfexion?

A complete PRX Derm Perfexion series will provide immediate and long-term results, helping improve the look of:

• Sun damage
• Melasma
• Pore Size
• Aging
• Skin discoloration
• Line and wrinkles
• Scars (acne, surgical scars)
• Hydration
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Skin tightening / laxity
• Exfoliation

What is the process like during the treatment?

After a delicate cleansing, the provider will apply PRX Derm Perfexion with a certain massage technique, without using needles or injections. After the provider has applied the correct number of layers for your indication, they will rinse the residue from your skin with water and apply a post-treatment cream. Your provider will instruct you on the home care program before you leave your appointment.

Is there any discomfort during the treatment?

Generally, the treatment is well tolerated by most patients. Only minimal itching or burning sensation during treatment is reported and is considered normal – especially during the first treatment.

Please communicate with your provider if this sensation increases during treatment, and if treatment becomes uncomfortable.

How many treatments do I need to see results?

You will notice an immediate improvement after 1 session, but a full series (minimum of 4 treatments) is needed for longer-lasting collagen formation. There is no downtime after the treatments; you will be able to resume your social and professional life immediately afterward. Any redness or light flaking can be alleviated by using Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin.

Can I combine PRX Derm Perfexion with other procedures?

Yes. PRX Derm Perfexion can be combined with many other aesthetic procedures; your provider will advise you on the best combination therapies to address your aesthetic needs.

How is PRX different than a peel?

Although TCA has historically been used as a peeling agent, PRX Derm Perfexion itself is not a peel! Peels are known for prolonged downtime (i.e., you will have to wait for the “peeling’ to subside) while PRX delivers truly remarkable, age-defying benefits to the look and feel of skin without the peeling or downtime associated with chemical peels, injectables, or other invasive aesthetic treatments.

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

• Do not wear makeup on the day of treatment.
• Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1 week prior to treatment.
• Stop any topical products with retinol in them 5-7 days pre-treatment.
• History of herpes or cold sores may require an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment.
• Notify INTERLOCKS of any changes to your health history or medications since your last appointment.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

• You will be sent home with two products if you purchased a series. Set aside all other skin care products, other than a gentle cleanser and a broad spectrum mineral sunscreen SPF 40+ (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide).
  
  • Day 1:
    
    • Apply Moisturizing Face Cream during the day to help with dryness.
  • Day 2 & beyond:
    
    • AM: Apply Moisturizing Face Cream during the day to help with dryness. Apply SPF 40+
