Chemical Peels in Miami, FL
Sun exposure, uneven tone, dull texture, and fine lines can make your complexion look older or less even than you feel. DRG Cosmetic Surgery offers chemical peels in Miami as part of our broader skin treatment options for patients who want brighter, smoother skin without surgery. Care is guided by Dr. Sam Gershenbaum, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience and training in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses a topical solution to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin. As the treated skin sheds and heals, the newer surface may look smoother, clearer, and more even in tone.
Our Miami practice uses TCA, or trichloroacetic acid, peels. TCA peels can improve concerns such as sun damage, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and certain superficial scars. The strength and timing of the peel matter, which is why your skin should be evaluated before treatment.
What Can Chemical Peels Improve?
Chemical peels may be helpful if your complexion looks dull, uneven, or weathered from sun exposure. Depending on your skin type and the depth of treatment, a peel may help with:
- Uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Sun-damaged skin
- Rough or dull texture
- Mild acne-related discoloration
- Blotchy tone
- Early signs of aging
A consultation helps us determine whether a TCA peel is appropriate or whether another skin treatment may be a better match.
What to Expect After a TCA Peel
A TCA peel does not require anesthesia. Some patients feel warmth or mild stinging while the solution is on the skin. After treatment, the outer layer typically darkens, dries, and peels over the following week or so.
Most patients should plan for visible peeling for about seven to 10 days. During this time, it is important to follow aftercare instructions, avoid picking at flaking skin, and protect the treated area from strong sun exposure. Sun protection is especially important in Miami, where UV exposure can affect healing and pigmentation.
