Reveal brighter, healthier skin with customized chemical peels.
Healthy skin isn't achieved with a one-size-fits-all peel. At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, every chemical peel is selected based on your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and recovery goals. Whether you're looking for a gentle refresh before an event or a more advanced treatment for acne, sun damage, melasma, or signs of aging, we offer physician-directed peel options that safely improve skin health while minimizing unnecessary downtime.
From superficial enzyme treatments to medium-depth resurfacing and advanced pigment correction, our goal is healthier, clearer, more radiant skin — not simply peeling for the sake of peeling.
Perfect for patients seeking gentle exfoliation with little to no downtime. Enzymatic peels brighten dull skin, improve texture, and refresh the complexion, making them an excellent choice for sensitive skin, first-time peel patients, or routine maintenance.
Our Mesoestetic peel collection offers highly customizable treatments formulated to address acne, excess oil, pigmentation, photoaging, uneven texture, and early signs of aging. These physician-selected peels can be tailored to your skin concerns and are often paired with medical-grade skincare for optimal long-term results.
GREEN PEEL® offers a plant-based approach to skin renewal, with three treatment levels available at Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics. Fresh Up refreshes dull-looking skin without expected visible peeling. Energy is a more intensive option for skin that looks tired or uneven, also without the peeling process of Classic. Classic is the most intensive option and includes a follow-up facial five days after treatment. We’ll recommend the level that fits your skin concerns, schedule, and recovery preferences.
The VI Peel is a medium-depth peel that improves multiple skin concerns in one treatment. It helps reduce acne, acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation while stimulating healthier skin renewal.
The VI Body Peel improves pigmentation, acne, scars, rough texture, and sun damage on the chest, back, arms, legs, hands, and other areas of the body.
Cosmelan is an advanced professional depigmentation system for stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma. It targets the underlying pigment-production process and is paired with customized home care for optimal long-term results.
Pigment is not one problem. A sun spot sitting on the surface and melasma spreading across the cheeks and upper lip do not behave the same way, and the treatment that clears one can aggravate the other. That is the single most important reason melasma gets its own protocol here rather than being folded into a general brightening peel: the assessment comes first, and the peel is chosen afterwards.
It is also why we do not treat pigment on a first appointment without knowing what we are looking at. Your physician will look at the pattern, the depth and what is driving it — sun exposure, heat, hormones, previous treatment — before selecting anything.
Cosmelan is a system rather than a single appointment. There is an in-office treatment phase and a structured home-care phase that follows it, and the home care is not an upsell — it is the part of the protocol that holds the result. Your physician sets the timings, the products and the maintenance schedule for your skin, and reviews progress with you as the pigment lifts.
Broward County is a hard place to hold a pigment result. Between the UV index, the heat and the amount of time people here spend outdoors, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is part of the treatment rather than an afterthought — and the patients who see the longest-lasting results are the ones who treat it that way. Skin tone here also spans the full Fitzpatrick range, which is precisely why peel selection is made by a physician: on deeper skin, the wrong choice creates pigment instead of clearing it.
Peels are rarely the whole plan for pigment. Depending on what your skin is doing, Cosmelan may sit alongside Aerolase Neo Elite and IPL, which are selected carefully in pigmented skin, and a physician-directed Mesoestetic or Circadia regimen for home. The customized facial program is where melasma maintenance usually lives between treatments. What holds all of it together is that one physician — Dr. Ivy Lawson — is choosing every element rather than three different providers each selling their own device.
Cost depends on the treatment area, the protocol your pigmentation actually needs and the home-care system that goes with it. Because the home care is part of the treatment, it is quoted together at your consultation rather than discovered later. If you would rather spread it, Cherry, Affirm and CareCredit are available.
Not every pigment or anti-aging concern needs a peel in the traditional sense. The Circadia SWiCH™ treatment — often called the "peel without peeling" — stimulates cellular renewal with minimal downtime, and it is delivered as part of our customized Circadia facial program. If your priority is renewal without visible flaking before an event, ask about it there.
Melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, sun damage, age spots, brown spots, rough skin, dull complexion, oily skin, and congested pores.
Chemical peels may be combined with dermaplaning, customized facials, microneedling (when appropriately staged), Aerolase Neo Elite® and IPL, PRP, and physician-directed Mesoestetic and Circadia skincare.
Professional treatments achieve the best results when paired with consistent home care. Your provider may recommend a customized regimen featuring Mesoestetic and Circadia products along with daily sunscreen.
Every peel begins with a physician-directed skin assessment to select the safest and most effective treatment for your skin type, concerns, and goals. Patients travel to our Flamingo Road practice from Cooper City, Davie, Weston and Pembroke Pines for pigment work in particular, and the Radiance membership includes a facial or peel every month for skin that does better on a schedule.
Nothing is injected during a peel, so there is no needle to think about. What you feel is chemical: warmth, tingling, and a stinging that builds over the first minutes and then settles. Depth is what changes the experience. A superficial enzyme peel is mild enough that many patients describe little more than a tingle, while medium-depth peels sting more definitely and are timed to a set contact period rather than left on indefinitely.
Skin that is already compromised will announce itself — active breakouts and cracked skin around the nose are the usual culprits. In the days afterward the skin feels tight and dry before it flakes, and how much it flakes depends on the peel. Which peel your skin needs, and what it is likely to feel like, is decided at your assessment rather than chosen from a menu.
There is no single peel price, because there is no single peel. What you pay depends on which peel your skin needs, and that is chosen after an assessment rather than picked off a list.
Your consultation is complimentary, and it is where the peel is selected and priced, before you commit to a course. If a gentler treatment would serve you better, you will be told so. The Radiance membership includes a facial or peel each month for patients who would rather keep their skin on a schedule, and financing is available for longer pigment programs.
Cosmelan is one of our most effective options for stubborn melasma and hyperpigmentation, although the ideal treatment depends on your skin.
VI Peel resurfaces and rejuvenates the skin, while Cosmelan is specifically designed to manage persistent pigmentation.
Yes. When properly selected, many peels can be safely performed on a broad range of skin tones.
Recovery varies by peel. Some cause minimal flaking, while medium-depth peels produce several days of peeling.
Yes. Certain peels improve acne, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and mild acne scarring.
Yes. Peels are often paired with dermaplaning, facials, laser treatments, microneedling, and medical-grade skincare.
Enzymatic peels generally offer the gentlest exfoliation with minimal downtime.
Your provider may recommend Mesoestetic and Circadia products along with daily sunscreen.
Melasma is managed over time rather than dealt with once. That is exactly why Cosmelan is paired with customized home care and daily sun protection, and why your physician will set a maintenance plan alongside the treatment itself.
Cost depends on the treatment area, the protocol your pigmentation needs and the home-care system that goes with it. Because the home-care phase is part of the treatment rather than an optional extra, it is quoted together at your consultation.
There is no single peel price, because there is no single peel. Cost depends on which peel your skin needs, the area treated, whether it is one treatment or a planned series, and the home care that holds the result. The peel is selected and priced at your complimentary consultation.
Most do, to some degree. A peel is applied to the skin rather than injected, and what you feel is warmth, tingling and a stinging that builds over the first minutes and then settles. Superficial enzyme peels are mild; medium-depth peels sting more definitely and are timed to a set contact period. Skin that is broken or actively inflamed reacts more. Which peel suits your skin is decided at your assessment.
Book a skin assessment with Dr. Ivy Lawson and find out which peel — if any — your skin actually needs.
