What Is PRX-T33?
PRX-T33 is a no-needle skin treatment that combines 33% TCA, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. The formula works below the surface to stimulate collagen without peeling the top layer of skin. At the Osteopathic Center for Healing in Rockville, MD, Jennifer Gularson, PA-C, IFMCP uses PRX-T33 for dull skin, fine lines, uneven tone, dark spots, mild laxity, scars and stretch marks. Most people do a series of four treatments about a week apart, with no downtime.

What Does PRX-T33 Treat?
How Does PRX-T33 Work?
TCA 33%
A peel acid that, in this formula, works deeper instead of peeling the surface.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Calms the skin and helps the TCA reach deeper layers, where collagen is made.
Kojic Acid
Helps fade dark spots and even out tone.
What Happens During Treatment?
Cleanse
Your skin is cleaned and prepped. No numbing needed.
Application
Jennifer massages the solution into your skin in layers. You may feel warmth or tingling.
Done
About 20 to 30 minutes in total. You leave with at-home care products to use between sessions.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
Most people do 4 treatments, 7 to 10 days apart. Your skin often looks brighter after the first one, and firmness and tone keep improving through the series. Results can last several months, and many people come back for maintenance.
Great Before an Event
Because there's no downtime, PRX-T33 is a popular pick before weddings, photos or vacations. Start your series about a month before.
