Bio Revitalization

THE ART OF SKIN TRANSFORMATION

There are many tools available to use for skin transformation.  Peels are great (except for the downtime); now imagine a medical grade Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel that DOESN’T cause any damage to the outer surface of the skin but penetrates almost instantly to the deeper layers of the epidermis down into the dermal layer where it can stimulate, renew and regenerate. The solution has arrived in the form of the Bio Revitalization PRX-T33 medical peel. This level of transformation is  made possible by the addition of hydrogen peroxide which modifies the action of the TCA at the skin barrier and promotes penetration without causing harm or pain and producing an immediate and evident firming of the skin. It is ideal to reduce fine lines, crepey skin and rehydrate and thicken the dermis. The addition of Kojic Acid to the formula also helps resolve pigmentation issues.

How does the treatment work?

Bio Revitalization by Bio Revitalization utilizes a unique combination of three important ingredients to give the best clinical result without any downtime. The hydrogen peroxide combines with TCA  to produce skin tightening effects without downtime, pain, surgery or peeling. Many providers are very familiar with TCA as it is traditionally used in chemical peels. Bio Revitalization's topical patented PRX -T33 solution uses hydrogen peroxide to move the acids past the top layer of the epidermis, allowing it to move through the pores and avoid peeling. Once the solution reaches the dermal layer these ingredients get to work. The TCA stimulates collagen by activating tissue fibroblasts (cells that make collagen), the hydrogen peroxide breaks apart into water and oxygen which immediately hydrates and oxygenates the tissue. The kojic acid gets to work by brightening the skin. Bio Revitalization can be used anywhere on the face and body -- and has a lasting, immediate visible effect. TCA has been used in chemical peels for many years and does achieve great benefits for the skin, although its use is limited due to the amount of damage it can cause to the surface of the skin. 


If you want to get really nerdy: TCA (33%)  stimulates the growth of new skin cells, has an anti-inflammatory action, helps to clean the pores, destroys bacteria associated with acne and increases the collagen and elasticity of the skin. Hydrogen peroxide H2O2(3%)  is known for its strong antiseptic properties but when applied to the skin, also releases a huge amount of oxygen which nourishes the skin and makes it more receptive to other agents. It also releases water when it loses the second oxygen molecule (becoming water H2O and oxygen O2) giving the skin intense hydration. Scientific studies have shown that it promotes the healing of wounds, helps remodel the skin’s extracellular matrix and reduces inflammation. When combined with TCA, it enhances the penetration and efficacy of the acid. Kojic Acid (5%), the second acid in this magic formula, has been used in many products and peels to deal with pigmentation problems for lightening and brightening. It is a potent suppressor of melanin (dark pigment found in skin) production.

What should I expect at my appointment?

This is a simple, relatively quick treatment with stunning results. Makeup will be removed and your face will be wiped down. Then the “P solution” glycolic wash is applied to the treatment area and removes skin oil (lipids) to allow greater penetration of the final product. This step is followed by the PRX-T33 solution itself which is applied with a special technique designed to get the most benefit from the treatment. A moisturizing cream finishes the treatment and leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated, tighter, smoother and overall hydrated. The entire process only takes about 30 minutes. After your first treatment we send you home with your homecare products (facial smoothing fluid and moisturizing cream) to continue to progress results between clinical treatments. You will then return one week later to repeat the clinical process -- there are a total of four-six weekly treatments for the initial Bio Revitalization PRX-T33 therapy of the face and decollete. Stretch marks can require up to 15 weekly treatments in order to see optimal results.

The advantages of the PRX-T33 facial peel

  • It is a non-invasive treatment
  • It provides non-ablative (not harming the top layer of skin) chemical stimulation of the dermis without exfoliating the epidermis
  • It is absolutely painless
  • It works very well both as a single treatment and in combined treatments, as the results of each are enhanced
  • It is not photosensitising, so it can be used even in summer
  • It can be used on all skin types (unlike many chemical peels which cannot be used on darker skins)
  • The results are immediate
  • After the facial peeling treatment, there is no bruising or redness, so the patient can go back to their everyday life with no sign of cosmetic treatment

FAQs

Comfortably performed in our office, the Viora has little or no downtime. Treatment time will vary depending on the part of the face or body being treated and the size of the area. During treatment for the face, a brief pulse of thermal heat will be delivered. The facial areas require 6 passes of radiofrequency (RF) energy. The tip of the handpiece has a cooling sensation while in contact with the skin. The tip cools and protects the epidermis while the energy penetrates deep into the skin to heat collagen fibers in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. During body treatments, the pulse of thermal heat will be delivered while the handpiece serves as a vacuum to increase the depth of the heat and to help move triglycerides and fatty acids out of the fat cells to the lymph system.
When the Viora energy is applied, you will feel a deep but brief heating sensation, which is an indication that collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. During the Viora body contouring procedures, the heat will be accompanied by a vacuum, which will be adjusted to your comfort level. To protect the surface of your skin, the tip of the handpiece contains a cooling device. Either a gel (for the face) or a glycerin oil (for the body) is applied during treatment to help keep the surface of your skin cool. During your procedure you will be asked for feedback on the level of heat sensation experienced during the procedure to help balance your comfort with maximum results. Heat is absolutely essential to tighten the collagen and stimulate new collagen growth.
The Viora is not suitable for patients with pacemakers, internal defibrillators, or other implanted electrical devices. It is also not recommended for patients who are pregnant or who suffer from an auto-immune disease. During the treatment a deep heating sensation will be noticeable and is an indication that the treatment is stimulating your own collagen production. Common side effects include swelling, reddening and bruising. Reddening (if any) typically subsides within a few hours after the treatment. Swelling typically goes down within a day but can last 3-5 days for some patients. Bruising may occur as a result of the vacuum during the procedure, and usually subsides within a few days. Degrees of swelling, reddening and bruising vary from person to person. A complete list of potential side effects is available during your consultation.
The effect is natural. At first, you may be the only one to notice the change. Your family and friends may remark that you look rested or ask if you have lost weight. Some patients will notice subtle tightening immediately post-procedure but more noticeable results will be evident 2 months after the treatment. One maintenance treatment is recommended every 4-6 months after completion of the treatment plan.
