Ananya Aesthetics is excited to introduce the Wiqo PRX-T33® Bio Revitalization. Though one of the main ingredients is 33% trichloracetic acid (TCA) which normally is a medium strength peel, this product is NOT a peel because it does not cause frost. Rather it is a non-injectable bio-revitalizer that induces a dermal bio-stimulation without harming the skin. It has been used as a non-peeling treatment for children with chickenpox scars. PRX-T33 is revolutionary for correcting facelift scars, stretch marks, and sagging skin.* Applied with a specific technique, it provides nearly immediate aesthetic improvement and deep hydration.* Repeating the application once a week for the number of sessions determined by one of our providers enhances the aesthetic effect.** PRX-T33 is unique because it combines the effects of H2O2 and high concentration TCA. It is indicated for all individuals as young as 5 years old and of all skin types as a bio-revitalizer of the face and body.* And it is even more remarkable as there is NO downtime!
It helps treat the following:

How Exactly does it work?
Our skin has three layers – epidermis, dermis, and the subcutaneous. Inside the dermis are things called fibroblasts and this is where the laxity or tightness of the skin comes from. If you want to make real change in the skin, you need to stimulate the fibroblasts.
You may have heard about collagen and elastin. These are proteins in the skin that we have a lot of as we’re young and become less effective and less present in the skin as we get older. Hence, as we get older we get wrinkles and sagging skin. Collagen is (the plumping protein) and elastin (the elastin protein) reside in the dermis area of the skin, and together with fibroblasts, the connective element of tissue, work to keep skin tight. PRX-T33 works by stimulating the fibroblasts to stimulate the production of more collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter skin. Whew! Sorry, but I love skincare. Basically, just know that PRX-T33 helps your body make more collagen and elastin so you get tighter skin. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can the application be performed at any age?
Yes, PRX-T33 is safe to use on patients aged 5 and upwards:
• 5-12 years: scars (chicken pox, impetigo)
•12-25 years: a substitute for facial cleansing (smooths epidermis and facilitates the removal and pustules), stretch marks
•25-45 years: beautification of the face, of the body, help prevention of skin
ageing, sagging breast skin, and stretch marks
•> 45 years: hypotonic skin, sagging breast skin, as well as beautification of the face and body
*Please note that Ananya Aesthetics will only treat patients 18 and older.
Can the application be performed on any skin type?
The application is contraindicated on skin affected by seborrheic dermatitis, herpetic eruptions, angular cheilitis, or otherwise damaged. Remember that some skins may be particularly reactive to acidic products ("sensitive skin"), even if they don't present visible symptoms. Clients with sensitive skin may react with redness or report a burning sensation during the session; in this case stop the session and apply WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin.
Can the application be performed on any skin color?
Yes, PRX-T33 is safe to use on all photo-types. There is no risk of hyperpigmentation in high photo-types. Asian skin is often more prone to irritation and is very delicate in the zygomatic area, so apply with fewer layers and a more delicate massage.
How long does the application take in office?
A face and neck application takes around 30 minutes, including pre- and post- application.
How many sessions are recommended? How long should we wait in between sessions?
You will see an immediate improvement after the first session, but the full results are brought about repeating the sessions. The optimal interval
between sessions is one week, but you can schedule sessions 7-10 days apart. In some situations, your provider may opt to do treatments as frequent as daily.
Is there anyone who would NOT be a good candidate?
The application is contraindicated on sensitive skin (see above), or skin affected by seborrheic dermatitis, herpetic eruptions, angular cheilitis, or
otherwise damaged. People with unrealistic expectations, mental health problems, or unable or unwilling to comply with the post care program
should also be excluded.
Can you use the product on pregnant/breastfeeding persons?
No. PRX-T33 is not systemically toxic, but pregnant/breastfeeding persons are ineligible for application.
Is it necessary to use the WiQo skin care line after the application?
The WiQo skincare line is specifically designed to alleviate possible side effects such as redness / light flaking in the days following the application,
and to enhance and prolong PRX-T33 dermal stimulation. Please note that immediately after the application the skin may be more sensitive and react unusually to moisturizers and other cosmetics, even those the person has been using for a long time.
Can an aesthetician perform the application, or does it have to be a medical provider such as a nurse, nurse practitioner, physician's assistant or physician?
No. PRX-T33 is for professional use only. Only a medical professional has the level of knowledge of the skin required to administer PRX-T33 and offer
effective post care assistance.
Is this product also effective on the body?
Yes, and with great results (on the inner arms, thighs, décolleté), but it is important to avoid the mucosae and the inframammary fold (midline), where the skin is very thin.
How will the skin look immediately after application?
Immediately after the application the skin will look brighter and feel smoother and firmer; there may be some redness or light flaking, but these will recede in the following days with the use of WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin. After the full cycle the skin’s texture will be more even
and the pores and fine wrinkles will be less visible. The overall appearance of the skin will be rejuvenated and fresher.
What is the down time/possible side effects?
PRX-T33 does not cause heavy peeling. Redness, flaking and itching are normal after effects. All skin types react differently, some may present no after effects at all, other to varying extents. More severe side effects could be caused by undiagnosed underlying pathologies or by an incorrect application technique. It may be that the application of PRX-T33 highlights a subclinical dermatological condition: this will give you a chance to diagnose and treat it before re-assessing the client’s eligibility for PRX-T33.
What results can persons expect?
A full PRX-T33 cycle will conduce the formation of new collagen: it will thicken the dermis and improve its elasticity, but also regulate (thin) the epidermal layer improving the natural complexion and skin tone. PRX-T33 does not replace other aesthetic therapies such as volumetric fillers, neurotoxins, EDBs etc. Be realistic when taking your client through the expected results, and deal with their expectations early on in the consultation. Educate your client on the importance of the home care regime with WiQo products and of a healthy lifestyle.
What is PRX-T33? Is it a peel?
PRX-T33 provides an immediate aesthetic improvement, deep hydration and an effective dermal stimulation. Even though one of PRX-T33 ingredients (TCA) has historically been used as a peeling agent, PRX-T33 itself is not a peel: it doesn’t cause frosting and subsequent desquamation, but it helps to stimulate the deeper layers of the skin without harming the superficial ones.
Why is PRX-T33 different than a peel?
Peels work by removing old skin cells and exposing the new skin underneath. This process can be more or less invasive - depending on the depth and aggressiveness of the peeling agent used, but all peels expose you to downtime (i.e. you’ll have to wait for the flakes to fall off) and risks(i.e. hypo- and hyper-pigmentation, infection). PRX-T33 on the other hand helps to stimulate the skin to create new collagen, which gives it structure and elasticity, with no downtime and none of the risks commonly associated with peels.
What are the benefits of this product?
PRX-T33 has multiple advantages: it works very well on its own to beautify or refresh the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and body, or it can be combined with any procedures to enhance them. The most common application is on the face, but it can be used to improve stretch marks and recent depressed scars on the face or body.
Is there any discomfort during the application?
Generally the application is very well tolerated and way less painful than a chemical peel. Some people may experience a varying degree of discomfort
with sensations such as light to moderate burning, itching, stinging, especially during the first session. Keep open communication with your provider during the sessions, so that he/she is aware of your sensations throughout. In case the application is too uncomfortable for you (this could be because your skin is especially reactive, or due to some pre-existing dermatological condition), the application of WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin has an immediate calming effect.
How many applications do I need to see a difference in my skin?
One session is sufficient to achieve an immediate but temporary glow effect, more (4 to 6 depending on your level of chrono-ageing) are needed for longer lasting new collagen formation. After assessing your skin your provider will advise you on the best course of action for you.
How long do I have to wait in between sessions?
Seven days is the optimum interval, but there may be situations where your provider will recommend a different regimen.
Can I combine PRX-T33 with other procedures?
Yes! PRX-T33 can be combined with most other aesthetic procedures, your provider will advise you on the best combination procedures to address your aesthetic needs.
If I am doing this before an event, how many days prior should I schedule the appointment?
If you are already familiar with PRX-T33 and you know your skin’s reaction to it, you could even have it done on the same day of your event. If this is the first time you have PRX-T33 or if you’re receiving the application after a long time from the last session, we suggest you allow up
to 5 days for your skin to resolve any flaking / redness that may occur.
What should I expect immediately post-application?
After the application your skin will look brighter, plumper, tighter, more rested. There could be some flaking (it means that your skin needed to shed
some excess dead cells), moderate redness. Both the flaking and the redness are alleviated by WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin. Please note that after application with PRX-T33 your skin may become sensitized to cosmetics. Stick to the WiQo home care program prescribed by your doctor to avoid any side effects.
What is the after care?
Immediately after and in the days following the application you will apply WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin to restore the hydrolipidic film.
From the day following the application you will apply WiQo Facial Smoothing Fluid for all skin types in the evening, at least half an hour before any other products. If you perform PRX-T33 on your body from the day following the application you will apply WiQo Moisturizing Body Cream for all skin types in the evening.
Am I able to work out/ wear makeup/ be in the sun after application?
Yes, but avoid saunas / steam baths for a few days. Yes, you’ll be able to wear makeup immediately after the session. Yes, you can go in the sun provided you wear a high-level SPF filter suitable to your skin type. Be aware that PRX-T33 may thin your epidermis, making it tan quicker but also more prone to sunburn. PRX-T33 is non-photosensitizing.
Is there any downtime after the application?
No, you’ll be able to resume your social and professional life immediately after the session. Any redness / light flaking can be addressed with the application of WiQo Moisturizing Face Cream for Dry Skin.
Yes, PRX-T33 is safe to use on patients aged 5 and upwards:
