Performed by Sarah Bowman — Cosmetic Nurse PRX Plus Peel
A revolutionary bio-revitalising skin treatment that deeply stimulates collagen production and skin renewal — without surface peeling, without needles, and without downtime. Suitable for all skin types and tones.
What is PRX Plus?
PRX Plus is an advanced bio-revitalising skin treatment that uses a patented formulation of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) combined with hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. Unlike conventional TCA peels — which cause significant surface peeling and several days of downtime — PRX Plus is designed to bypass the epidermis and act directly on the dermis, stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production deep within the skin.
The result is a genuine bio-revitalisation of the skin — improved firmness, radiance, texture, and elasticity — without the inflammatory peeling response associated with traditional chemical peels. There is no visible exfoliation, and most patients notice an immediate improvement in luminosity and skin quality after their very first session.
Because PRX Plus does not damage the skin's surface barrier, it is safe to use on all skin types and tones — including sensitive, darker, and tanned skin where conventional peels may carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Traditional TCA peels cause controlled surface injury — the skin then heals and renews. This process involves visible peeling, redness, and several days of recovery.
PRX Plus uses hydrogen peroxide to neutralise the surface action of TCA, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the dermis without causing surface damage. This means the stimulation of collagen and cell renewal happens without any visible peeling, swelling, or downtime.
It is not a peel in the traditional sense — it is a biorevitaliser that uses TCA as a delivery mechanism, not as an exfoliant.
A consultation with Sarah is required prior to your first PRX Plus treatment. This allows her to assess your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and confirm suitability. Please contact our rooms to book.
What happens during a PRX Plus session?
A PRX Plus session with Sarah takes approximately 45–60 minutes, including consultation and skin preparation. The treatment is comfortable with no need for topical anaesthetic.
Skin Assessment
Sarah reviews your skin, discusses your concerns, and confirms that PRX Plus is the right treatment for you at this appointment.
Skin Cleansing
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to ensure even penetration of the PRX Plus formulation.
Application & Massage
The PRX Plus solution is applied to the skin and massaged in using a specific technique. You may feel mild warmth or tingling — this is normal.
Multiple Passes
The application is repeated in multiple passes to deliver the active ingredients progressively deeper into the dermis.
Neutralisation & Soothing
The treatment is completed, the skin is soothed with a hydrating serum, and SPF is applied. Your skin will feel immediately refreshed and radiant.
Aftercare Guidance
Sarah provides tailored post-treatment instructions and recommends appropriate home care to maintain and extend your results.
What PRX Plus can do for your skin
PRX Plus delivers a wide range of skin improvements, building progressively with each session in a recommended course of treatment.
What skin concerns does PRX Plus treat?
PRX Plus is effective across a wide range of skin concerns, and is particularly well-suited to patients who want progressive, visible improvement without the recovery period associated with traditional peels or laser treatments.
PRX Plus is one of the few professional skin treatments that is safe for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) where conventional TCA peels and some laser treatments carry a higher risk of pigmentation side effects. It can also be safely performed on tanned skin. Sarah will confirm suitability at your consultation.

Common questions about PRX Plus
No — this is the key difference between PRX Plus and conventional chemical peels. PRX Plus is specifically designed to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal from within the dermis, without causing surface damage or visible peeling. Most patients experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours after treatment, which settles by the same evening. There is no visible peeling, flaking, or downtime.
Many patients notice visible improvement in radiance and skin quality after just one treatment. For progressive and lasting results, a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Sarah will advise on the most appropriate programme for your skin at your consultation, and can adjust the course based on your skin's response.
We recommend allowing the skin to settle for the remainder of the day after treatment without makeup. From the following morning, light mineral makeup can generally be worn. Sarah will provide specific aftercare guidance at your appointment, including product recommendations and sun protection advice.
Yes — PRX Plus is safe for use on all skin types and Fitzpatrick skin tones, including darker tones (IV–VI). This is one of its key advantages over conventional TCA peels, which carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin. PRX Plus can also be safely performed on tanned skin, making it a versatile treatment option year-round.
Yes — PRX Plus works very well in combination with other skin treatments. Sarah frequently combines it with SkinPen medical microneedling (the PRX Plus solution can be applied following needling to enhance penetration), Medi Infusions, and HEALITE II LED therapy. Your treatment programme will be tailored to your skin concerns and goals at consultation.
