What is Massage Peel (Collagen Peel)?
Massage Peel is a type of chemical peeling treatment that uses a specialized formula called PRX-T33® by WiQo.Developed after years of research, this peeling agent combines high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA), low-concentration hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and kojic acid.
TCA has a long history of use and is well-known for its effectiveness. However, its strong peeling action (dissolving the surface of the skin to activate cells) poses risks of chemical burns and requires a longer downtime,making it less popular in Japan.However, PRX-T33 utilizes a patented formulation that combines TCA with low-concentration hydrogen peroxide. This combination eliminates strong surface exfoliation while generating a powerful biological stimulation effect, delivering significant anti-aging benefits to the skin.
Kojic acid, another active ingredient,blocks tyrosinase enzymes involved in melanin production, providing a whitening effect.
This innovative peeling treatment offers elasticity and firmness from within the skin, which conventional peels couldn’t achieve.

Main Benefits of Massage Peel
Collagen Production
By allowing TCA to act on the dermis, it activates fibroblast growth factors. This effect continues to promote the production of new collagen in the dermis for several months after treatment.
Activating fibroblast growth factors stimulates the dermis to generate new collagen, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines.
Whitening Effect
Kojic acid is known for its ability to suppress melanin production (preventing spots). It also has other benefits, such as inhibiting skin glycation and reducing inflammation.
Instant Results
The treatment time is approximately 15 minutes, and you can feel a tightening and whitening effects immediately after the procedure.Regular treatments are recommended to maintain results.
Neck Wrinkles
This treatment is suitable not only for the face but also for hard-to-treat areas like the neck.
Differences Between Other Chemical Peels and Massage Peel
Both chemical peeling and massage peels use chemical agents for the peeling process.Chemical peeling works on the skin’s epidermis, while massage peels target the dermis layer.Massage peels are particularly effective in promoting collagen production, while chemical peeling is more effective for improving turnover and unclogging pores.
For surface treatments such as exfoliation, classic chemical peels are a good choice. However, when seeking significant anti-aging effects without stripping the skin’s surface and while protecting the skin, massage peels are an effective option within the chemical peel category.
| Types | Other Chemical Peels | Massage Peel |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Methods | Chemical agents work on the skin’s surface to promote turnovern | Chemical agents penetrate the dermis to promote collagen production |
| Action Area | Targets the skin surface, removing dead skin cells | Directly acts on the dermis to stimulate collagen production |
| Treatment Time | About 30 minutes | About 15 minutes |
| Downtime | Short recovery period | Almost no recovery period |
| Effects | Noticeable results after the first treatment | Noticeable results after the first treatment |
Treatment Process
Consultation
We will conduct a detailed consultation regarding your skin condition, overall health, and concerns.
Cleansing
Cleansing your face in the powder room to remove makeup, sebum, and impurities.
Treatment
A chemical agent is applied, followed by a lifting massage. Afterward, the area will be gently wiped, and you will wash your face. A moisturizing cream will be provided after washing.
Treatment Overview
This treatment uses medications that inhibit skin peeling and inflammation, with almost no recovery period.It is suitable for those concerned with fine lines, skin laxity, exfoliation, dull skin tone, clogged pores, or acne.
