Medium Chemical Peel in Miami

What is a Medium Chemical Peel?

A medium chemical peel uses a stronger acid, most often trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at a moderate concentration, sometimes layered over a Jessner's solution, to remove the upper and part of the middle layers of skin. It treats moderate sun damage, melasma, fine lines, acne scarring, and uneven tone more aggressively than a light peel.

The peel itself takes 15 to 30 minutes and causes a stinging, hot sensation. Unlike a light peel, you will visibly peel and shed skin for about five to seven days, looking sunburned then flaky before fresh skin emerges. Most people take a few days of social downtime. Results, including brighter, smoother, more even skin, build over two to four weeks.

Medium peels carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, especially on medium to deep skin tones, so provider experience and proper pre-treatment (sunscreen, sometimes a prep regimen) matter. Often a series or a single deeper session is used depending on goals.
