Biorevitalization —
collagen stimulation without peeling.
The PRX family of treatments represents one of the most significant innovations in professional skincare in the last decade. PRX uses TCA (trichloroacetic acid) as a collagen-stimulating agent — but unlike traditional TCA peels, the patented formulation includes hydrogen peroxide, which neutralizes the caustic action at the skin surface. The result is deep dermal stimulation with zero visible exfoliation.
Aquagold takes a fundamentally different approach — delivering customized cocktails of active ingredients directly into the superficial dermis through gold-plated micro-needles finer than a human hair. It is one of the most precise, painless delivery systems in aesthetics. Both technologies are available at Desert Sands and can be combined for exceptional results.
Stimulates fibroblasts in the deep dermis to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — without causing visible peeling at the skin surface. Immediate radiance with cumulative tightening.
Higher-potency biorevitalization for more advanced skin concerns — deeper laxity, mature skin, and patients wanting accelerated collagen stimulation results in fewer sessions.
Combines the biorevitalization mechanism of PRX with a high-concentration vitamin C complex for enhanced brightening, antioxidant protection, and pigmentation correction.
Delivers Botox, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and custom skin boosters directly into the superficial dermis via 20 gold-plated micro-needles — finer than a human hair. Instant glow, zero downtime.
PRX Derm Perfection.
PRX Derm Perfection is a patented biorevitalization treatment developed by WiQo that fundamentally reframes what a TCA treatment can do. Traditional TCA peels work by causing controlled damage to the skin surface — then letting it heal. PRX Derm Perfection does the opposite: the TCA is formulated with hydrogen peroxide, which prevents any surface reaction while the acid penetrates to stimulate fibroblast activity deep in the dermis.
The result is a treatment that produces the collagen and elastin stimulation of a medium-depth peel — with no peeling, no flaking, and no hiding. Patients receive the treatment and walk straight back into their day. Skin appears immediately brighter and more radiant, with structural tightening continuing to improve over the following weeks.
PRX Derm Perfection is effective on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and abdomen — treating laxity and texture in areas where traditional peels or lasers carry higher risk. It is suitable for all skin types including darker Fitzpatrick phototypes, and is one of the few effective treatments for stretch marks and skin laxity on the body.
- No visible peeling — zero social downtime
- Immediate radiance after first treatment
- Stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the deep dermis
- Safe for all skin types including darker tones
- Effective on face, neck, décolleté, hands, and body
- Treats stretch marks, laxity, acne scars, and fine lines
- Series of 4–6 sessions for optimal cumulative results
Skin laxity and early sagging, fine lines and texture, acne scars and post-inflammatory marks, sun damage, uneven tone, stretch marks on the body, and patients wanting a peel-level result with no recovery period.
PRX Plus.
PRX Plus is the enhanced formulation within the WiQo PRX range — a higher-potency biorevitalization treatment designed for patients with more advanced skin concerns or those who want to accelerate results. While PRX Derm Perfection delivers excellent outcomes across a standard series, PRX Plus intensifies the fibroblast stimulation response for deeper or more stubborn skin laxity, mature skin, and patients whose skin has had more significant cumulative damage.
Like its predecessor, PRX Plus produces no visible peeling and requires no downtime. The treatment experience is identical to PRX Derm Perfection — a smooth application with a brief warming sensation — but with a more robust stimulation of the dermal collagen and elastin response. It is recommended for patients who have already completed a standard PRX course and want to maintain or deepen their results, or for those starting treatment with more pronounced laxity and texture concerns.
- Enhanced formulation for advanced skin laxity and mature skin
- Deeper fibroblast stimulation than standard PRX Derm Perfection
- Same no-peel, no-downtime profile
- Ideal for maintenance following a completed PRX series
- Produces faster visible tightening in patients with greater laxity
- Can be combined with PRX C for comprehensive rejuvenation
Advanced laxity and deeper wrinkles, mature skin requiring intensified collagen stimulation, patients who have completed a standard PRX course, and those wanting faster structural results.
PRX C.
PRX C brings together the biorevitalization mechanism of the PRX family with a high-concentration vitamin C complex — creating a treatment that stimulates collagen from below while addressing pigmentation, dullness, and oxidative damage from within. Vitamin C is one of the most clinically validated antioxidants in skincare, and at the concentration delivered in PRX C, it goes far beyond what any topical serum can achieve.
PRX C is particularly effective for patients dealing with sun-induced pigmentation — a concern that is widespread in St. George's high-UV, high-altitude climate — as well as for patients who want the collagen-building benefits of PRX alongside a brightening and evening effect on their skin tone. Like all PRX treatments, it produces no visible peeling and requires no downtime. The vitamin C in PRX C also provides antioxidant protection that supports skin health well beyond the treatment session itself.
- Combines PRX biorevitalization with high-dose vitamin C delivery
- Targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone
- Antioxidant protection extending beyond the treatment session
- Brightens and evens complexion alongside collagen stimulation
- No peeling, no downtime
- Ideal for sun-damaged skin in Southern Utah's high-UV climate
- Pairs naturally with IPL photofacial for comprehensive pigment correction
Sun damage, brown spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, dull complexion, and patients wanting the structural benefits of PRX alongside visible brightening. Especially relevant for Southern Utah's UV-intense climate.
Aquagold Fine Touch.
Aquagold Fine Touch is a 24-karat gold microchanneling device that delivers a fully customized cocktail of active ingredients directly into the superficial dermis in a single, painless treatment. Its 20 hollow, gold-plated micro-needles — each finer than a human hair — stamp the skin simultaneously, depositing the chosen active ingredients precisely where they are most effective.
The "cocktail" is what makes Aquagold uniquely versatile. At Desert Sands, the formulation is customized for each patient — typically combining micro-doses of neuromodulator (for pore tightening and sebum control), hyaluronic acid (for plumping and hydration), and vitamins or skin boosters selected for your specific skin concerns. The result is an immediate glow, softened fine lines, visibly tighter pores, and a smoothness and luminosity that no topical product can replicate. Treatment takes approximately 30 minutes with no visible downtime whatsoever.
Aquagold is exceptional as a standalone glow treatment before an important event, or as a regular maintenance treatment every three to six months. It pairs powerfully with PRX treatments — Aquagold is often performed in the same session to compound surface radiance with deeper dermal stimulation.
- 24-karat gold-plated micro-needles — painless, non-reactive
- Custom cocktail: neuromodulator + hyaluronic acid + vitamins
- Tightens pores and controls sebum production
- Immediate glow and hydration — results visible same day
- Softens fine lines and surface texture
- Zero downtime — makeup can be applied immediately
- Ideal pre-event treatment or ongoing maintenance every 3–6 months
- Pairs with PRX for compounded surface and deep rejuvenation
Pre-event glow, enlarged pores, fine lines and surface texture, dull or dehydrated skin, and patients wanting immediate visible radiance with no recovery. Also exceptional as a regular maintenance treatment every three to six months.
The advantages of no-downtime skin renewal.
PRX Derm Perfection, PRX Plus, PRX C, and Aquagold all share the same defining advantage over traditional resurfacing and peel treatments — remarkable results with no recovery period. For busy patients who cannot schedule downtime around a treatment, these are among the most powerful options in our menu.
No Downtime
None of these treatments produce visible peeling, redness that lasts beyond a few hours, or any recovery period. Treatments can be received on a lunch break and returned to normal activity immediately.
Immediate Radiance
All four treatments produce visible skin quality improvement after the first session. The glow and smoothness patients see walking out is not swelling — it is genuine skin quality improvement that continues to build.
Safe for All Skin Types
PRX treatments are safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types including darker tones that cannot safely receive many traditional laser or peel treatments. Aquagold's gold-plated needles are hypoallergenic and non-reactive in all skin types.
Cumulative Results
While results are visible immediately, the real value of PRX treatments compounds over a series. Each session deepens the collagen stimulation response, producing structural improvements that continue to improve over weeks after the last session.
Complementary
PRX and Aquagold work at different levels of the skin and can be combined in the same appointment. PRX stimulates collagen from the dermis up; Aquagold delivers active ingredients from the surface down. Together, they address every layer simultaneously.
Versatile Treatment Areas
Unlike many laser or resurfacing treatments, PRX can be safely applied to the face, neck, décolleté, hands, and body — including delicate areas and areas with stretch marks where traditional resurfacing carries too great a risk of complication.
During treatment & after.
Minimal
Arrive with clean skin free of makeup. No pre-treatment topical discontinuation is required for PRX or Aquagold — though we recommend avoiding active sun exposure in the treatment area the week before.
Warm & Painless
PRX treatments produce a warming sensation during application that subsides within minutes. Aquagold microchanneling is essentially painless — the gold micro-needles are finer than a human hair. Both are well-tolerated without topical numbing.
Glow. No Peel.
Skin will appear immediately brighter and more radiant. Mild redness may be present for one to two hours. There is no peeling, no flaking, and no visible recovery period. Makeup can be applied the same day.
Immediate + Cumulative
PRX results build progressively over a series of 4–6 treatments, with collagen improvement continuing for weeks after the final session. Aquagold results are immediate and last three to six months depending on the cocktail used.
