Taking care of your skin can be one of the most important things you do for yourself. Whether you’re undergoing a treatment to renew your skin or simply adding an extra step into your routine to give your skin a little well-deserved TLC, skincare is a form of self-care and should be embraced.
One of the newest skincare treatments on the market is PRX-T33 Biorevitalization, an innovative treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s regeneration processes with little to no downtime. It’s said to improve skin texture, tone and elasticity, for a radiant and smooth complexion that creates a “glass skin” effect.
“The benefits of PRX include instant skin tightening and lifting, as well as a visible glow,” says Sharona Rafaeloff, co-founder and head esthetician at Le Jolie Med Spa. “Over time, the treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin hydration and radiance, and diminishes hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.”
As someone who can’t resist a promising new skincare treatment, when I heard about this up-and-coming facial, I knew I had to try it. Here’s everything you need to know about PRX, plus my review of the treatment.
The PRX facial essentially offers the benefits of a facial peel without the actual peeling process. “PRX, or more specifically PRX-T33 Biorevitalizer, is a proprietary compound of TCA, hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid. Unlike other high-TCA peels, the addition of hydrogen peroxide in PRX dramatically reduces and nearly eliminates common side effects like pain and peeling,” explained AW Plastic Surgery.
During your PRX treatment, your esthetician will perform a soothing facial massage to activate the facial ingredients and allow them to penetrate deeper layers of the skin—all without damaging the surface microbiome.
During the treatment, your esthetician will typically ask you about your skin concerns and the problem areas you want to address with the facial. (Most people tend to focus on skin texture or areas where you might have fine lines and wrinkles.) After cleansing your face and applying the PRX solution through a facial massage, the ingredients stimulate the production of collagen and elastin without the use of needles or overly invasive chemicals.
Your esthetician may need to apply multiple layers of the solution depending on your skin type and needs. This process leaves an instant glow and ultimately leads to an improvement in skin texture.
On average, the PRX-T33 Bio Revitalization retails for around $500.
With no needles and no downtime, a PRX facial is a fairly non-invasive way to improve the appearance of your skin. You can see visible improvements immediately after leaving the spa, and I personally didn’t experience any pain during the treatment. I did experience some temporary redness, but it subsided fairly quickly.
The concept of glass skin has been trending for a while, and the possibility of a PRX facial giving me clear, dewy skin seemed too tempting to turn down. For such an effective facial, the experience was completely relaxing and pain-free. I also saw immediate results; when I looked in the mirror after the PRX treatment, my skin absolutely glowed.
Admittedly, I have a pretty clear complexion, with the exception of an occasional pimple here and there. My biggest concern with skincare is the dark spots left over from popped spots of the past, which I feel have significantly reduced after the treatment.
The real magic, however, was how my skin looked days after the treatment. Usually, the effects of a facial wear off a few days after the treatment, but PRX Biorevitalization left my face looking radiant and fresh for weeks—not to mention my pores were practically invisible. I can’t even count how many people told me in those first few weeks, “Your skin looks amazing!”—which, if you know me, is the greatest form of flattery.
Dr. Rafaeloff noted that results can last for several months, depending on your skin type. For optimal results, she recommends a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about 1-2 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to prolong the positive effects.
In addition to a soothing and relaxing facial—seriously, I almost fell asleep during the procedure—PRX Biorevitalization offers the benefits of a typical skin peel and more.

What makes this facial an innovative procedure is the increase in collagen and elastin it causes, which is essential for firm and youthful skin. Unlike traditional skin peels, it is also non-photosensitizing and does not involve exfoliation of the epidermis, meaning it can be safely performed multiple times a year and any time of year.
The most fascinating thing about the PRX Bio Revitalization for me was its ability to effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, scarring and more. With no needles and no downtime, you could see visible and lasting results, which made the facial worthwhile for me.
