PRX is at the cutting edge of non-invasive skin treatments, providing patients with a ground breaking approach to skin enhancement. Unlike traditional chemical peels it provides skin rejuvenation without causing visible peeling, allowing you to return to your daily routine as quickly as a few hours post-treatment.

To prepare your skin for your PRX treatment and improve the speed of recovery. We ask all patients to avoid the following 7 days prior to treatment:

• Exfoliants (chemical or physical)

• Active Skincare Products, including those with Retinols, Vitamin C, acids and benzyl peroxide.

• Picking at skin or creating any open wounds or skin irritations.

• Receiving other skincare treatments, including facials.

• Shaving or waxing any facial hair

Your experience with PRX starts with a personalized consultation with Jacki in our private East Grand Rapids office. There she will take time to understand your concerns and ensure that PRX is the best solution for your desired results. Then Jacki will take time to answer any questions and review the process so you feel confident with your treatment.

PRX is a multi-staged treatment plan, including an average of 4 treatment sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart.

During your PRX peel in Grand Rapids, Jacki will apply the active gel-like substance to your skin until it is full absorbed. Most patients don’t feel anything unusual during the procedure but some do experience a mild tingling sensation.

Each appointment, including treatment and after-care discussion should last around 30-45 minutes.

As PRX at Refine Aesthetics is a multi-treatment process full results are not visible until 7-10 days after the final treatment. However, some results such as improved radiance, increased firmness and skin smoothness are visible following your initial treatment.

After completing all treatment sessions, final results last for an average of 6 - 12 months. Many patients choose to extend this timeline with maintenance treatments every 6 months. The ideal approach for you will vary based on age, skin condition and lifestyle. Jacki will discuss individual recommendation with you during your appointment.
