Your New Favorite Fresh Start
Everyday sun exposure while driving through Downtown Miami or boating near Miami Beach alters skin health. Over time, typical skincare products fail to resolve the accumulated effects of sun damage. Patients notice structural skin changes, like uneven skin tone or rough skin texture. Dr. White takes a clinical approach to topical skin rejuvenation. Our medical team uses specific chemical solutions to restore skin health without unnecessary trauma. We focus on skin quality.
A chemical peel treatment is a controlled application of a clinical chemical solution that exfoliates the outermost top layers of skin. This procedure breaks cellular bonds, shedding dead skin cells to stimulate collagen production and reveal a smoother skin texture.
Living in South Florida accelerates cellular aging. Over-the-counter creams fail to reach deep discoloration. Our medical formulations strip away compromised superficial layers to expose healthy tissue.
The cost of your treatment will depend on the type of chemical peel you choose based on your skin needs. For example, someone with serious scarring who needs a stronger peel will pay more than someone getting a lighter peel. We cannot provide fixed prices over the phone.
If you have a light peel, you won’t need to take time off from your regular activities. For medium-depth peels, plan for about 5 to 7 days of recovery as your skin will peel noticeably. Deep peels take longer to heal because they require more significant changes to the skin.
During a chemical peel, you might feel a little stinging, which some describe as a prickly heat in the treated areas. We use special cooling fans to help make the experience more comfortable.
The entire process of a chemical peel usually takes between 30 to 90 minutes. This includes preparing your skin and applying protective treatments afterward. You can go back to your normal daily activities right after your appointment, as long as they are not too strenuous.
When it comes to skin treatments, it's important to focus on fixing deeper issues rather than just making the surface look brighter for a short time. In 2022, chemical peels were one of the most popular treatments because they can help with so many skin problems all at once. Our team creates a personalized plan just for you to help you achieve your skin goals.
Chemical peels can be applied to the neck and hands to improve skin texture.
The type of skin care you need will determine how deeply we can treat it. Chemical peels come in three levels: superficial, medium, and deep, and we pick the right one after carefully checking your skin.
Superficial peels are the gentlest option. They use mild acids to treat just the top layer of your skin, which means there's almost no downtime afterward. For instance, the Illuminize Peel helps with minor skin issues without causing heavy peeling, while lactic acid formulas provide a gentle exfoliation that’s great for sensitive skin.
Medium peels go a bit deeper and are effective for issues like dark spots and sun damage. The Vitalize Peel works specifically on these concerns, and peels with 20-30% salicylic acid help improve skin texture. After a medium peel, you can expect to take about 5 to 7 days to recover, during which some peeling will occur.
Deep peels use stronger ingredients to tackle more serious problems like deep wrinkles and scars. An example is the BioRePeelCl₃® Gold, which contains 50% of a powerful acid for more significant skin issues. These peels can provide noticeable results but come with longer recovery times and potential risks. Often, people need several sessions to achieve the best outcome.
When we apply these treatments, they encourage the top layers of skin to shed, which helps stimulate collagen production beneath the surface for overall skin renewal.
Medical-grade chemical exfoliation changes the tissue environment fast. You can clear away years of environmental damage in a single appointment.
Most patients report a radiant skin complexion after just one treatment.
A thorough evaluation at our practice determines your eligibility. We assess your specific skin type and medical conditions before recommending any chemical peel options. Patients with sun damage, acne blemishes, or early signs of aging are ideal matches. Our team manages all skin types safely.
We turn away individuals with active sunburns or open skin inflammation. If you spent yesterday baking on Miami Beach, your appointment must wait. Chemical peels are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. We maintain realistic expectations. A light peel cannot repair deep facial sagging. It will not replace a surgical lift.
The procedure is precise. Our clinical team begins with a medical cleanse to strip surface lipids. We protect sensitive mucosal margins near the nostrils and eyes with a thick protectant balm. Your provider then applies the specific chemical solution in strategic passes. Chemical peels take 30-90 minutes to perform.
A chemical peel can cause slight stinging during application. You will feel a sensation of prickly heat across the skin surface. We utilize cooling fans to mitigate discomfort. A medium-depth peel may lead to a "white frost" on the skin during the procedure. This indicates proper epidermal protein interaction.
The skin displays temporary redness and mild irritation for twenty-four hours. It feels tight.
Superficial peels trigger minor flaking with minimal downtime. Medium-depth formulas require five to seven days of visible shedding. Patients may experience slight scabbing after a chemical peel. Do not pick the skin sheets.
Miami’s intense sun requires strict post-peel sun protection and diligent sunscreen use. Post-peel skin must be protected from direct sun exposure to prevent hyperpigmentation. Avoid strenuous exercise for forty-eight hours to prevent sweat under the fresh tissue layers.
Apply the specific gentle skincare products provided by ARC Plastic Surgery. Use a mineral barrier every two hours when driving through Coral Gables or Palmetto Bay.
After getting a chemical peel, the healing process usually takes about a week. Once your skin starts to shed, you'll notice smoother and fresher-looking skin. This treatment helps your skin produce more collagen, which promotes renewal over the following weeks.
To maintain long-lasting results and reduce age spots or blemishes, it's important to protect your skin from the sun. Exposure to sunlight can reactivate pigmentation issues. We often recommend a combined approach, using chemical peels alongside other treatments, like injectables, to help smooth out fine lines while improving overall skin tone.
A clinical peel is a medical procedure requiring anatomical expertise. Dr. White brings advanced surgical judgment to our non-invasive treatment options. As an author of definitive medical textbook chapters on facial rejuvenation, his strict safety protocols govern every treatment. We do not use unbuffered products found in standard day spas. We select the ideal peel in Miami to achieve your aesthetic goals safely. Schedule your appointment today.

Chemical peel costs vary based on treatment type. The cost of chemical peels depends on the extent of damage to be cleared. Predicting a cost without touching the tissue is an unscientific guessing game. A personalized consultation allows us to evaluate your skin goals and provide a hard financial figure.
You can receive a light peel if you maintain strict post-peel sun protection. You must avoid direct sun exposure on Miami Beach and wear a physical mineral sunscreen. For deeper chemical peels, our team recommends scheduling during cooler winter months.
Superficial peels address minor blemishes and surface cells. Deep chemical peels or a series of medium peels treat permanent acne scarring. Your treatment plan will depend on a thorough evaluation of scar depth.
Mild peels cause minor flaking that looks like a light sunburn. Medium peels trigger visible peeling sheets for three to five days. Patients may experience slight scabbing after a chemical peel treatment.
Yes. We select specific chemical peel options like salicylic acid or lactic acid to treat deeper skin tones safely. This avoids triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or dark spots.
No. You must avoid harsh cleansers and acid-based products during your recovery time. Use the gentle post-peel products provided by our clinical team to prevent skin irritation and redness.
