Chemical peels are a popular treatment at Brickell Cosmetic Center in Miami, FL. Many Brickell and Pinecrest, FL men and women visit us to treat noticeable problems with their skin, like scars, discoloration, flaky skin, sun spots, fine lines, and much more. Chemical peels remove damaged, dead skin cells with the application of a special peel on the skin, which causes the oldest layer to peel off. As your skin heals and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you will see a clearer, smoother complexion. A chemical peel facial is a nonsurgical method to make your skin bright and may be appropriate for the neck and face.
