Chemical Peels in Miami.
The treatment that started medical skincare — still the best value.
Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin, accelerating turnover and stimulating new collagen. Modern peels are a long way from the harsh phenol peels of the 1980s — we use medical-grade acid blends matched to your skin tone, condition, and downtime tolerance.
Peels are the workhorse of cosmetic dermatology. They're predictable, effective, safe across skin tones when chosen correctly, and remarkably good value. Our menu includes superficial (lunchtime) peels and medium-depth peels with 3–7 days of visible flaking.

What is Chemical Peels?
Chemical Peels, in plain English.
Products we use
- VI Peel + Precision Plus
- ZO 3-Step Peel
- Cosmelan
- Custom Lumère acid blends
Peels work by controlled chemical exfoliation. We choose between glycolic (texture), salicylic (acne), lactic (sensitive), TCA (deeper resurfacing), and proprietary blends (VI Peel, ZO 3-Step, Cosmelan for melasma).
Skin tone matters. Many superficial peels are universally safe; medium-depth peels need careful patient selection in Fitzpatrick III–VI. Our protocols include pre-peel pigment-suppression for at-risk patients.
