Florida winters are mild, but spring still hits different. The humidity starts climbing, outdoor events fill the calendar, and suddenly everyone’s thinking about their skin again. If you’ve been putting off a treatment or waiting for the right moment to try something new, this is it.
University Park Dermatology & Medical Spa is running limited-time March specials across three of our most popular aesthetic treatments: VI Peel, BBL (BroadBand Light), and Daxxify. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage from years of Sarasota sunshine, stubborn pigmentation, or fine lines that have been bothering you, there’s a deal here worth acting on.
These specials are available at both our Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch locations, and they won’t last past March. Here’s everything you need to know.
Refresh Your Skin This Spring in Sarasota & Lakewood Ranch
Living in Southwest Florida is genuinely a gift. But it does come at a cost for your skin. UV exposure year-round accelerates photoaging, pigmentation, and uneven texture faster than most parts of the country. I’ve spoken with patients who didn’t realize how much cumulative damage they’d collected until they sat down for a consultation and we looked at everything together. It adds up quietly.
The good news is that the treatments we’re featuring this month are specifically designed to address exactly that kind of damage. And they work. At UPDerm, our board-certified dermatologists and licensed aesthetic specialists use medical-grade technology and clinically proven treatments. Not spa-grade approximations. Patients from across Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and Venice trust us for results that actually show up in the mirror.
This March, we’re making three of our most effective treatments more accessible than ever.
VI Peel Special: Brighter, Clearer Skin for $995
What Is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that works across all skin types and tones. It uses a blend of trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, and vitamin C to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production. It’s one of the most versatile peels we offer because it targets several concerns at once.
Patients typically see improvement in:
- Skin texture and overall tone
- Active acne and post-acne marks
- Melasma and sun-related pigmentation
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Dullness and uneven complexion
The peel process takes about 30 minutes in-office. Visible peeling happens over the next 5 to 7 days. Most patients find the downtime manageable and the results well worth it.
The March VI Peel Offer
Package of 3 VI Peels for $995, plus a FREE Pigment Correcting Kit to take home. A series of peels produces significantly better results than a single treatment, and this package makes that approach genuinely affordable.
I believe a series approach is the right way to do peels. You’re not going to see the full picture from one session. Three treatments give the skin time to respond, rebuild, and actually hold the improvement. That’s why we structured this offer the way we did.
This is one of the better VI Peel deals we’ve offered. If brightening and clearing your skin has been on your list, this is the time to commit to it.
BBL Treatment: Reverse the Damage Florida’s Sun Has Done
What Is BBL (BroadBand Light)?
BBL is an advanced form of intense pulsed light therapy, but more precise and effective than older IPL devices. It delivers targeted light energy into the deeper layers of skin, stimulating collagen while addressing surface-level discoloration and vascular irregularities.
In plain terms, it turns back the clock on sun-damaged skin. For anyone who’s spent years enjoying the Sarasota coast, that means a lot.
BBL is particularly effective for:
- Brown spots and sun freckles
- Redness from rosacea or broken capillaries
- Uneven skin tone and blotchiness
- Early signs of photoaging
- Dull or lackluster complexion
Sessions take about 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients experience mild redness that clears within a day or two. A package of treatments delivers cumulative improvement that a single session simply can’t match.
Spring is actually an ideal time to start BBL. Getting treatments in before peak summer sun means your skin has time to recover and reveal results before beach season hits full stride. It’s worth planning around the calendar on this one.
The March BBL Offer
20% off BBL package pricing this month only. If you’ve been thinking about BBL in Sarasota or at our Lakewood Ranch clinic, this discount makes it the most accessible it’s been.
Daxxify Special: Longer-Lasting Results, Fewer Appointments
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify is an FDA-approved neuromodulator in the same family as Botox and Dysport, but it works differently under the hood. It uses a peptide-based formula that helps it bind more effectively to nerve receptors. The practical result is noticeably longer-lasting effects. Most patients see results that hold for 6 months or more, compared to the typical 3 to 4 months with traditional neuromodulators.
It’s a newer option and, honestly, patients who try it tend to become regulars. Fewer appointments per year is a practical benefit most people appreciate once they experience it.
Daxxify works well for:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (the 11s between the brows)
- Crow’s feet
- Brow lifting
- Bunny lines and lip lines
One thing worth mentioning: the longer duration isn’t just convenient. It can actually mean more consistent, even results between touch-ups because you’re not cycling through as much variation in muscle activity over time.
The March Daxxify Offer
Buy 50 Units, Get 20 Units FREE. That’s a meaningful bonus for anyone treating multiple areas or planning ahead. Given how long Daxxify lasts, those extra units could be used to top off results a few months down the road without paying full price.
If you’ve been curious about Daxxify in Sarasota, or you want to switch from a neuromodulator you’ve used before, this offer is a good entry point. It’s the kind of thing that’s easier to evaluate once you’ve actually tried it.
Why Patients in Sarasota & Lakewood Ranch Choose UPDerm
There’s no shortage of med spas and aesthetics clinics in Southwest Florida. So why do patients keep coming back to University Park Dermatology & Medical Spa? A few reasons that come up consistently:
- Medical-grade care: Our treatments are performed or supervised by board-certified dermatologists, not aestheticians working without clinical oversight
- Real technology: We invest in clinically validated devices, including BBL Hero, which is widely regarded as the gold standard in broadband light therapy
- Personalized treatment plans: What works for one person won’t automatically work for another. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach
- Two convenient locations: We serve patients throughout greater Sarasota from both our Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch offices
- Transparent pricing: No hidden upsells. You know what you’re getting and what it costs
The reality is that cosmetic dermatology in Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota has expanded a lot in recent years. More options for patients is genuinely a good thing. But the range in quality has expanded too. We think our track record speaks for itself, and we’re proud of the results our patients share with us.

One Last Thing
Last month, a patient came in after putting off her VI Peel series for almost a year. She’d been waiting for the “right time.” After her first session, she told us she couldn’t believe she’d waited that long. Sound familiar? Your skin can’t wait for perfect timing either.
