PRX-T33 Before and After: What Results to Expect

After a PRX-T33 series, most people see smoother, firmer and brighter skin with better texture and a more even tone. Changes often start after the first session and build with each of the four treatments. There is no downtime, and most people have little or no visible peeling.

PRX-T33 is a skin treatment that combines 33% TCA, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid to trigger renewal deep in the skin without peeling away the surface layer. At Desert Bloom it is called the Unicorn Facial, because there is no downtime and skin quality improves significantly. The treatment is done as a series of four treatments, 7–14 days apart depending on the formula used. This guide explains what your skin looks like after each session, how long results last, who the treatment suits and what it costs.

How does PRX-T33 work on your skin?

Most peels work by removing the top layer of skin. PRX-T33 works in a different way. The formula passes through the outer layer, called the epidermis, and reaches the dermis below. There it stimulates fibroblasts and growth factors, which drive collagen production, without causing inflammation or damage to the surface.

Because the surface stays intact, the treatment does not make your skin sensitive to the sun the way many traditional peels do. It can be done at any time of year, which matters in Scottsdale. It is also suitable for all skin types and skin of every color.

The treatment feels like a deep tissue massage, and most people find the appointment relaxing.

What does your skin look like after one PRX-T33 treatment?

Right after your first session, you can go back to your normal day. Most people leave with a glowing complexion, but very sensitive patients might notice mild redness. If your skin is sensitive, you may feel slight itching or burning during the treatment, and this is temporary.

In the days that follow, you may or may not see some light flaking. Many people see none at all. When flaking does happen, it is mild, and it shows the treatment is working. This is very different from the peeling and downtime that come with traditional chemical peels. Desert Bloom provides home skincare to support your PRX treatment, including a skin brightening serum and a WiQ moisturizer.

Most patients notice an improvement in glow and smoothness after the first session. Even so, one treatment is only the start. PRX-T33 is done as a series of four, because the collagen response builds with each visit.

What results can you expect over the series of four?

Desert Bloom performs PRX-T33 as four treatments spaced 7 days apart. Your skin becomes smoother, firmer and fresher with every session. The table below shows the usual pattern. Everyone’s skin is different, so your own results may vary.

Which concerns show the clearest change?

PRX-T33 is used for a range of skin concerns at Desert Bloom. The ones where people tend to see a difference include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet, as the skin makes new collagen.
• Large pores, which look smaller as the skin tightens.
• Acne scars and uneven texture, which soften over the series.
• Pigmentation, such as uneven tone, sun damage and even hard-to-treat melasma.
• Dull skin and dryness, as deep hydration restores a fresher look.
• Mild laxity, with skin that looks firmer and more elastic.

The treatment can also be applied to the neck and décolletage, so the results extend to areas that often get overlooked.

Can PRX-T33 help the skin around your eyes?

PRX-T33 can help with some eye concerns. Dark circles have several causes, and the cause decides the treatment. When the darkness under your eyes comes from brown pigment, Desert Bloom uses PRX-T33 as one of its main options. It is especially useful for darker skin tones, where laser pigment treatments can make circles darker instead of lighter.

Around the eyes, PRX-T33 can also improve skin quality and texture alongside treatments for crow’s feet. It does not fix dark circles caused by hollowing under the eye. Those are a volume problem, and filler is usually the better route. You can read more on the dark circles page.

How long do PRX-T33 results last?

Because PRX-T33 works on collagen in the dermis, results last longer than those of a surface facial. Collagen keeps building in the weeks after your fourth session. For collagen-level treatments like PRX-T33, results generally hold for about 6–12 months.

Your skin keeps aging, so maintenance treatments help you hold on to the result. Your aftercare matters too. Use a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer and daily sun protection, and drink plenty of water. Ask Dr. Borakowski how often your skin would benefit from a maintenance visit.

Who is a good candidate for PRX-T33?

PRX-T33 suits most adults who want firmer, smoother and brighter skin without downtime. It works on all skin types and every skin color. It is often a good choice for darker skin tones and for sensitive skin, since it does not remove the surface layer.

It helps to keep your expectations realistic. PRX-T33 improves skin quality, but it does not replace lost volume. For deep wrinkles or volume loss, dermal fillers may be a better fit. If you have an active skin flare, such as rosacea or eczema, mention it at your consultation so Dr. Borakowski can plan the right timing and approach.

How much does PRX-T33 cost at Desert Bloom?

At Desert Bloom, PRX-T33 is offered as a series of four treatments for $1,350. It is sold only as a series, because the results build across all four visits. You can see current prices for every treatment on the price list.

Is PRX-T33 worth it?

For many people it is. You get collagen stimulation and smoother, brighter skin with no downtime, and you can have it at any time of year. It suits all skin types, and it treats several concerns at once, from fine lines and pores to pigment and dullness. If your main concern is deep volume loss, another treatment may serve you better, and Dr. Borakowski will tell you so.

The best way to know what PRX-T33 can do for your skin is to talk it through in person. Dr. Natalya Borakowski, NMD will look at your skin, explain what results you can expect from a series of four and suggest the right plan. Book a consultation at Desert Bloom or call (480) 567-8180.
