As we age, our skin undergoes various changes, and one common concern that many women face is crepey skin. If you’re experiencing crepey skin, you don’t have to just accept it! Here’s what to do instead.
Read MoreWe often get asked, “so what is this PRX-T33 treatment all about?” PRX is a relatively new treatment that we are really excited about. It can be used as a standalone service, or paired with some of our other treatments to really change your skin and overall appearance.
When done as a series, PRX treatments can improve:
Loose, sagging skin on your face, neck, and décolleté
The appearance of hyperpigmentation, melasma and/or age spots
Skin texture
Acne scars
Sun damage
Stretch marks
Overall signs of aging
But, we also love this treatment because there are no downtime requirements after your service, which means it can also be used to get you “red-carpet ready” before an event!
PRX-T33 can be used to improve stubborn skin conditions, or as an instant treatment that will enhance your skin that is already in good shape!
Known for being the peel that doesn’t peel, PRX -T33 is a solution that contains a combination of trichloroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. During a treatment the solution is applied by a PRX-T33 certified professional directly to the treatment area and then quickly pressed into the skin with very precise pressure and technique. Because of the unique formulation and the precise pressure of application, the peel penetrates deep into the layers of the skin and stimulates the living cells underneath to multiply.
The new cells then move up to the surface and help promote collagen and hyalouronic acid production. You’ll notice your skin will appear hydrated and firm while the top layer of skin remains intact, fine lines and wrinkles will fade and your skin will start to behave like it did in your youth.
We can literally rewind the hands of time in a 30-minute treatment!
While PRX-T33 is often referred to as the “peel that doesn’t peel”, it really functions completely different than a traditional chemical peel.
PRX-T33 does not exfoliate the top layer of skin. In fact, as mentioned above, PRX leaves the top layer of skin completely intact and works it’s magic below the surface.
Most traditional chemical peels do the opposite. They exfoliate the top layer of skin and reveal a new layer of skin that isn’t as damaged.
Comparing a traditional chemical peel to PRX-T33 is really comparing apples to oranges, but both have their place in the treatment room depending on the client’s individual needs.
The advantage to using PRX-T33 over a traditional chemical peel is that you need to plan for downtime because you won’t experience:
Redness or irritated skin
Peeling or flaking skin
Sensitivity to the sun after a treatment
If you’re interested in getting started with PRX-T33, it’s a great time to try it because we’re running a special this month (March 2023). To get started give us a call for assistance with scheduling. In general, most clients start with a series of four or more treatments, depending on the condition of their skin and their overall goals.
For best results, the first four or more treatments are suggested to be completed at a 7 to 12 day interval. Once desired results have been achieved, we recommend returning quarterly for maintenance treatments. If it has been more than a year, since you had any maintenance sessions, it is common to repeat the starting series for best results.
Clients with scarring , significant dryness, stretch marks or fine lines make even more progress when they combine PRX-T33 with some of our other modalities. PRX-T33 pairs very well with Tixel, CO2 and/or Micropen. Many clients also combine PRX treatments with Sculptra injections to replace volume.
This treatment is truly a miracle worker so if your goal is to improve your skin, don’t sleep on our March 2023 promotion to experience a PRX treatment for just $199 or a series of 4 for $775. It’s worth every penny!

“Can you reverse sun damage?” It’s one of the most frequently asked questions we receive. My answer is always, yes and no! Treating sunspots is not a black and white treatment so before we dig in to how to treat sunspots, let’s talk about what they are, how they happen, how to prevent them and then I’ll explain how we can help!
Sunspots are flat brown spots that can develop on the face and other areas of the body as a result of sun exposure. While they are generally harmless from a health standpoint, you should make sure you’re watching new spots to make sure they are only sunspots and not the start of something more serious. If you have concerns about new spots, I highly recommend seeing a board-certified dermatologist. That said, even though sunspots themselves don’t pose a health risk, many people are self-conscious of them and want to remove them!
Before I share how we can treat sunspots, I want to talk about prevention. It’s far easier to prevent than reverse sun damage once sunspots appear. To prevent sunspots, you should practice smart sun safety which includes:
· Wearing a high-quality SPF and reapplying it every few hours during prolonged sun exposure.
· Wearing protective clothing; large hats, sunglasses, light clothing.
· Avoiding sun exposure during peak and high UV times.
If you’re ready to get to work, reverse sun damage and erase sunspots, I recommend considering any one of these treatments at SkinSpaMED. They are all effective solutions for eliminating hyperpigmentation.
1. IPL-Photofacial is the medical gold standard
2. Chemical peels
3. PRX-T33
Additional Services That May Be Options
1. Tixel-followed by Hydroquinone 28%
2. DOT-SmartXide CO2 (breaks borders of spots and blends in hypopigmented white spots)
3. Microneedling
4. Hydrafacial MD or LED therapy
You may be wondering why we offer so many options to treat sunspots. The truth is, we offer multiple options so we can tailor treatments to the client’s overall skin needs. Having several options gives us the ability to select a treatment that will be safe and effective for your skin type and goals. We may even recommend using multiple modalities to help you reverse sun damage. To help you determine which service to book, I recommend scheduling a consultation with us so we can create an individualized treatment plan for you.
Because we offer multiple modalities, we can typically find a solution for most clients. It would be a unique situation for us to deem someone “not a good candidate” for sunspot removal.
This depends on a number of things including:
• How severe your sun damage is.
• The service treatment you choose.
• Whether or not your taking precautions outside of treatments while in the sun.
• If you follow our treatment plan.
In general, if you follow our treatment plan and home care instructions, we will be able to significantly fade and even erase sunspots in many cases.
Pre-treatment instructions and post treatment care will vary depending on the service you receive. For example, a chemical peel will likely have more “downtime” than PRX-T33. We’ll go over the pros and cons of each treatment option during your consultation so you can plan for downtime accordingly.
At-home treatments likely won’t be as powerful as in-spa services. To get noticeable results we recommend a combination of prevention tactics, like wearing SPF daily and protective clothing, combined with in-spa treatments and a good product regimen. Our CE Ferulic drops are the perfect addition to your home routine while trying to reverse sun damage at home in between your clinic visits. In some cases, we suggest prescription Triluma cream be used at home 12 weeks a year as well.

Sun lovers, this one is for you! If you’ve made it your New Years Resolution to improve your skin, and/or reverse sun damage you’ve done in the past, a Photo Facial is the next service you need to book! Flawless, makeup optional skin isn’t just something celebrities have. You can have it too when you book a service like this.
Photo facials, also known as IPL treatments, are perfect for targeting:
Redness
Rosacea
Brown spots
Fine Lines
Enlarged Pores
Sun Damage
Acne
And More!
While you’ll see an improvement after just one visit, photo facials generally require a series of treatments in order to arrive at your final results. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on the condition of your skin when you come in, along with what you’re hoping to achieve. Either way, an IPL treatment can get the job done and if you start your series of treatments NOW, by the time summer comes around again, you won’t have to think twice about being makeup free by the pool.
Here’s the best part…IPLs are also on sale throughout November at SkinSpaMED! Treatments are just $79 per area.
Whether you’re prepping for holiday events or committing to improving your skin in the year, booking one or all three of these services this month should be on your to-do list. Take advantage of our promos throughout November 2021, or join one of our membership programs. IPLs and DOT CO2 treatments are included in our packages.
