— 01 / CONSULTATION
PRX-Plus.
A consultation and clinical assessment for skin brightness, firmness and texture, using a needle-free, topical skin booster, planned personally by an experienced practitioner. We start by understanding your skin and what’s on your mind, then talk through what’s realistic for you.
— 02 / ABOUT PRX-PLUS
About PRX-Plus.
PRX-Plus is a topical skin booster made in Italy by WiQo. It’s applied to the skin with a massage technique rather than injected, and is designed to work on brightness, firmness and texture, which may help improve how even, refined and refreshed the skin looks. It is not a chemical peel: the formula is designed to be absorbed without visibly exfoliating the surface. Individual results vary.
A consultation comes first. We assess your skin and your suitability, talk honestly about whether and how much it may help, and explain what’s involved. It’s often planned on its own, and sometimes alongside treatments such as skin needling, IPL or LED. No two plans are the same.

— 03 / WHAT TO EXPECT
What to expect during your appointment.
Personalised consultation
Your appointment begins with a clinical discussion of your concerns, goals and expectations. The practitioner assesses your skin to support a personalised plan, with information provided ahead of any decision.
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and prepared with a pH-balancing solution so the product can be absorbed evenly. Specific steps are discussed during your consultation, based on what’s being assessed.
Duration & recovery
The application itself usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the areas treated, and most people return to their day straight after. A mild tingling during application is common and short-lived; the practitioner explains what to expect for you.
Post-appointment care
Aftercare is simple and discussed with you. A nourishing moisturiser is applied after treatment, daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 is recommended, and retinoids and certain other treatments are paused for a short period.
— 04 / ABOUT SKIN BRIGHTNESS, FIRMNESS & TEXTURE
About skin brightness, firmness and texture.
Skin quality shifts over time, dullness, uneven tone, loss of firmness and a rougher texture build up gradually with ageing, sun exposure and lifestyle. It happens slowly, and how much it bothers you is entirely personal.
Whether it’s something to address and what approach might suit, depends on your skin, your concerns and what’s realistic to achieve. These factors are reviewed clinically during your consultation. This section is general information only.
BRIGHTNESS
Dullness and uneven tone can build up with age, sun and lifestyle, a common reason people come in for a consultation.
FIRMNESS & TEXTURE
How firm, smooth and refined the skin looks can change over time, and is part of what’s assessed clinically.
REVIEWED WITH YOU
Whether, where and how much is assessed clinically and in person, never from a page.

— 06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED
The questions we get most.
What is PRX-Plus?
PRX-Plus is a topical, needle-free skin booster applied to the skin with a massage technique. We explain exactly what’s involved, and whether it may suit you, at your consultation.
Is it a chemical peel?
No. PRX-Plus is formulated to be absorbed into the skin rather than to remove its outer layer, so there’s no visible peeling or frosting. Your practitioner explains how it compares with a peel and which may suit you.
Do I have to decide anything on the day?
No. A consultation is just that. Many people come to understand their options and decide later, or decide it isn’t for them. There’s no pressure either way.
Is there downtime?
Generally minimal. Most people return to normal activities straight away. Mild redness or a tingling sensation during application can occur and usually settles quickly; the practitioner explains what to expect for you.
How many sessions will I need?
A course is usually planned as a series of sessions around two weeks apart, with maintenance discussed afterwards. The exact number depends on your skin and goals, and is planned at your consultation. Individual responses vary.
Is it suitable for darker or sensitive skin?
It’s formulated for a wide range of skin types and can be used year-round, but suitability is always assessed individually at your consultation.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Sometimes. It may be planned alongside treatments such as skin needling, IPL or LED. Whether that’s appropriate for you is discussed at your consultation.
Who will I see?
An experienced registered nurse or skin therapist, who assesses your suitability before anything is considered.
Can under-18s book?
These consultations aren’t advertised to or aimed at under-18s. Any care for under-18s follows strict national guidelines, including mandatory cooling-off periods.
