Introduction to pHformula Treatments and Products
Skin Sensitivity Test
Treatment Description
The pHformula skin sensitivity test, using the S.P. Complex, is a unique skin response treatment to assess your skin sensitivity levels and is the perfect guide to assess and prepare your skin for optimum results. Knowing your skin sensitivity levels will guide us in prescribing the correct skin resurfacing protocol and will help to guarantee a positive treatment outcome.
Protocols
Different protocols can be combined in a prescription program and the strength and depth of the products are controlled by your Skin Specialist, based on application technique and the number of layers applied during the skin resurfacing procedure.
Homecare
A personalized prescription is integrated and used at home in preparation or after completion of the pHformula resurfacing procedure and for maintenance thereafter.
pHformula CORE RESURFACING TREATMENTS
A.C. Resurfacing Treatments (ACNE)
Take control of chronic breakouts, excess sebum, and enlarged pores with specialized, antimicrobial solutions. By penetrating deep into the follicles, they actively reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm severe inflammation to restore a smooth, clear, and perfectly balanced complexion.
A.G.E. Resurfacing Treatments (AGING)
Turn back the clock with advanced, medical-grade skin resurfacing treatments designed to reverse fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Working from the inside out, these innovative protocols drive powerful active ingredients deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen and fade dark spots with minimal irritation and zero social downtime.
C.R. Resurfacing Treatments (CHRONIC REDNESS)
Soothe and restore skin prone to chronic redness, inflammation, rosacea, and barrier damage with these ultra-gentle protocols. Engineered with potent anti-inflammatory actives, they instantly reduce flushing, repair your natural skin barrier, and build long-term tolerance.
Optional booster: Touch Therapy with P.U.R.E. rosehip oil
M.E.L.A. Resurfacing Treatments (PIGMENTATION)
Target stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone at the cellular source with these powerful brightening treatments. Their masterfully blended actives quickly inhibit melanin production and clear away dark patches, leaving you with a luminous, beautifully balanced complexion without aggressive peeling.
Optional booster: The Radiance Boost Treatment, using pure L-ascorbic acid powder dissolved into the radiance release activator (V.I.T.A.C.) just before application, is an advanced system to treat photo-aged and pigmented skin.
Targeted Homecare
There are 5 Homecare Kits. By adhering to the complete program, as recommended by your pHformula Skin Specialist, you can anticipate not only noticeable improvements but also the ability to safeguard your skin against future damage.
pHformula Advanced and Specialised Treatments
Meso-Resurfacing Booster Treatment (Spicules)
MESORESURFACING™ concentrate is a next-generation professional booster that delivers micro-needling-like results without invasive tools. Powered by purified hydrolyzed spicules and five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, it enhances transdermal delivery while promoting controlled skin resurfacing.
This intelligent formula creates microchannels in the skin to boost cell turnover, oxygenation, and absorption of active ingredients, leading to smoother texture, deeper hydration, and visible rejuvenation. By stimulating natural renewal and structural repair, MESORESURFACING™ concentrate helps restore firmness, clarity, and radiance with minimal downtime.
Neck & Décolleté Resurfacing Treatment
This treatment utilizes the N.E.C.K. complex and/or T.D.S. firming, both formulated to assist in superficial exfoliation and self-renewal, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Boosters to Resurfacing Treatments
Advanced regenerative therapies such as the AZ blue drops, the EXOS biomimetic concentrate and the PDRN active cubes are introduced following advanced resurfacing treatments to speed up skin repair, healing, and absolute cellular revitalization.
TCA Touch™ Resurfacing Treatment
A controlled, premium resurfacing treatment featuring a 12% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) concentration. It provides intense skin remodeling and rapid cell renewal with enhanced patient comfort compared to traditional chemical peels.
PROTONPEN micro-needling / nano-needling Resurfacing
Micro-needling
This protocol utilizes medical-grade micro-needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin (Collagen Induction Therapy). It triggers the body’s natural healing response to dramatically boost collagen and elastin production while preserving epidermal integrity.
Best for: Deep scars, acne scarring, stretch marks, skin laxity (sagging), thinning skin, and deep wrinkles.
How it works: Your Skin Specialist uses the PROTONPEN Micro-needling Protocol alongside concentrated sterile transdermal solutions (like VITA A for wrinkles or VITA C for structural support) to activate cellular metabolism refine pores, and lift the skin.
Nano-needling
This is a non-invasive, gentler alternative that uses microscopic silicone hair-like cones instead of traditional needles. It works perfectly on delicate or highly sensitive areas where standard micro-needling might be too aggressive.
Best for: Delicate eye and lip contours, uneven skin texture, early loss of elasticity, dullness, and hyperpigmentation.
How it works: The PROTONPEN Nano-needling Protocol provides an instant, radiant glow by maximizing nutrient release and infusing corrective transdermal solutions (such as HA for volume loss or VITA B3 for brightening) into the skin with minimal to zero downtime.
pHixel Glow Red Carpet Resurfacing Treatment
A premium hybrid protocol that pairs the PROTONPEN Advanced Nano-needling with an Alpha Amino acid solution (rich in arginine) and dermabrasion. This treatment is perfect for anyone seeking immediate skin plumping, smoothing, and an intense hydration boost without standard post-needling redness. There is no pain and no downtime!
