Swich Dermal Rejuvenation is a mitochondrial-energizing skin treatment manufactured by Circadia that activates the skin’s natural repair system without inducing the tissue damage traditional chemical peels rely on.
Clients see reduced fine lines and improved tone with minimal downtime. Rosana Bermejo, ARNP, oversees Swich protocols at Med Aesthetics Miami’s locations.

Swich Dermal Rejuvenation works by applying a topical acid solution containing pyruvic and succinic acid, followed by Fraction V, a mitochondrial-energizing lotion that supports ATP (cellular energy) production within the skin.
This process activates the skin’s own repair pathways rather than relying on the controlled injury that a chemical peel uses to trigger renewal.
Succinic acid is a natural intermediate in the mitochondrial energy cycle, and peer-reviewed research confirms it supports ATP production and cellular repair signaling in skin tissue.
Pyruvic acid has been studied separately in a split-face clinical trial, in which it measurably reduced sebum secretion and increased skin hydration over a series of treatments.
A separate randomized controlled trial found pyruvic acid carries a low risk of scarring compared to more aggressive peeling agents, since it converts physiologically to lactic acid in the skin.
Swich activates the skin’s repair mechanisms without the controlled tissue injury a traditional chemical peel relies on. The table below outlines the difference:
| Factor | Swich | Traditional Chemical Peel |
| Mechanism | Activates the skin’s natural repair system without controlled injury | Relies on controlled tissue damage to trigger repair |
| Downtime | Minimal | Can involve visible peeling and redness |
| Active ingredients | Pyruvic and succinic acid, Fraction V mitochondrial lotion | Varies by peel type (glycolic, salicylic, TCA) |
| Frequency | Typically once monthly | Varies by peel strength |
Swich is one of several alternatives to peels available for clients seeking gentler options, and can be built into a broader skin rejuvenation plan.
A Swich treatment follows a consistent application process, summarised below:
| Detail | What to Expect |
| Application | Cleanser, EpiPrep, and the Swich acid solution applied to the skin |
| Sensation | Brief tingling, similar to a mild chemical peel, that resolves quickly |
| Aftercare | Fraction V applied approximately 30 minutes after treatment to support recovery |
| Frequency | Typically once per month, often performed in a series |
| Downtime | Minimal; most clients resume normal activities the same day |

From the latest state of the art hair laser removal to Morpehus8, IPL, and many more.
IPL facials are the best! Wonderful results with laser hair removal as well. Nurses are A+.
Only aesthetics spa I go to in Miami. I've been going for 2 years now and I do a few of their devices which are laser hair removal and ipl laser for the face. My results are amazing I am so happy every time I go.
My top favorite aesthetics spa in Miami. I've been going for over a year now and I do a few of their devices which are laser hair removal and ipl laser for the face. My results are so good!
Second time doing IPL. Like always Rosanna and the girls are amazing. Can't wait to see the final results.
Results from Swich build gradually across a monthly treatment series rather than appearing after a single session. Clients most commonly report a smoother texture and reduced fine lines, with results developing over several months of consistent treatment.
The pyruvic acid clinical trial referenced above measured improvement within a series of four treatments spaced two weeks apart, giving a general reference point for how quickly acid-based mitochondrial treatments can produce measurable skin changes.
Common guidance for this treatment suggests it suits clients over 35 showing early signs of aging, including fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation, and it works safely across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
A skin assessment with the clinical team at Med Aesthetics Miami confirms candidacy and determines whether Swich or another treatment from the core skin care menu fits a client’s specific skin goals.
Swich is generally well tolerated, with brief tingling as the most commonly reported sensation. Limited data exists on its use during pregnancy, so providers typically recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before starting treatment.
Clients using prescription retinoids, recovering from other exfoliating treatments, or managing sensitive skin should discuss timing with the clinical team, since layering multiple active ingredients can increase skin sensitivity.
Swich can be combined with most facial procedures as part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan.
Clients seeking more targeted results for acne or pigmentation may pair Swich with treatments such as chemical peels, HydraFacial, or broader dermatology services, as determined during a consultation.
Swich Dermal Rejuvenation, manufactured by Circadia, uses a topical acid solution and a mitochondrial-energizing lotion to activate the skin’s natural repair system without the tissue damage a traditional chemical peel causes.
Sessions are typically monthly with minimal downtime, and the treatment is considered safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Swich Dermal Rejuvenation is a topical skin treatment manufactured by Circadia that uses an acid solution and a mitochondrial-energizing lotion to activate the skin’s natural repair system. It targets fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation without the tissue damage a chemical peel causes.
Swich activates the skin’s repair mechanisms without relying on controlled tissue injury, unlike traditional chemical peels. The active solution and Fraction V lotion support cellular energy production, so clients see comparable rejuvenation with less visible peeling and less downtime overall.
Most clients experience brief tingling during application, similar to a mild chemical peel, which resolves quickly. Pyruvic acid, one of Swich’s active ingredients, carries a lower risk of scarring than more aggressive peeling agents, according to peer-reviewed clinical research.
Swich typically runs once monthly, often as part of a longer treatment series, to build cumulative improvement in fine lines, tone, and skin texture over time. The clinical team determines an appropriate number of sessions based on the skin condition during the initial consultation.
Yes. Switch works safely across all Fitzpatrick skin types, since it activates the skin’s own natural repair system rather than relying on aggressive exfoliation or pigment-targeting technology, which can carry greater risk for darker skin tones during any given session.
Swich targets fine lines, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and overall skin texture and tone. It’s generally recommended for clients over 35 who are beginning to show visible signs of aging or cumulative environmental skin damage from years of sun exposure.
Swich requires minimal downtime, and most clients resume normal activities the same day it’s performed. This is a key difference from more aggressive chemical peels, which can involve several days of visible peeling and redness during the full recovery period.
Yes. Swich can be combined with most facial procedures, including chemical peels and HydraFacial, as part of a broader skin treatment plan. The clinical team determines the best combination based on a client’s specific skin goals during an initial consultation.
Yes. Peer-reviewed research confirms succinic acid supports ATP production and cellular repair signaling in skin tissue. A separate clinical trial on pyruvic acid found it measurably reduced sebum secretion and increased skin hydration, supporting the physiological basis for Swich’s dual-acid formulation.
Limited data exists on Swich’s safety during pregnancy, so most providers recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to begin treatment. A consultation with the clinical team at Med Aesthetics Miami can confirm timing and discuss alternative treatments that may be appropriate during pregnancy.
Fraction V is a mitochondrial-energizing lotion applied approximately 30 minutes after the Swich acid solution. It supports ATP production and cellular repair following treatment, helping the skin recover and rebuild collagen and elastin without the trauma associated with traditional chemical peels.
Pricing depends on the treatment area and the number of recommended sessions. Contact Med Aesthetics Miami directly or schedule a consultation for accurate, individualized pricing based on your specific skin condition and treatment goals, since every protocol is tailored to the individual.
