About Chemical Peels
Offering only the best in chemical peel treatments, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Reuel Aspacio at Summerlin Dermatology provides patients with numerous options for a professional facial treatment with chemical solutions that give you healthier, radiant facial skin. At our Las Vegas, NV office, we offer medium-depth chemical peels (like the Obagi Blue Peel®) to go deeper into your skin. Medium-depth peels are for patients who have significant damage to their skin like deeper wrinkles and darker pigmentation issues.
Chemical peels help to minimize skin irregularities such as wrinkles, scars, fine lines, dry patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Customized for your skin, the chemical solution will dissolve damaged, dead skin cells, which will cause the visible layer to peel off. You'll probably want to do this type of facial rejuvenation treatment over a long weekend. As your skin heals and begins to rejuvenate and repair itself, you will notice a clearer, smoother complexion. A chemical peel treatment is a noninvasive option to make your skin luminous and may be used for the face and neck.
Chemical Peel Reviews
Ideal Candidates
Seeking the advice of a skin professional is the first step in the journey to smooth, healthy skin. You will have a skin analysis and assessment before Dr. Aspacio will choose your chemical peel treatment for optimal results. Chemical peel candidates, both men and women, will have noticeable issues with their skin such as scars, flaky skin, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and more. Dr. Aspacio may suggest different levels of chemical peels to meet your needs and goals.
Procedure Technique
On the day of your procedure at Summerlin Dermatology, we will have you lying down in a relaxed position to administer your peel. We will make sure your skin is cleansed before applying the customized solution to your face and/or neck. We will brush the solution onto your face and let it set for a specific amount of time, which will be discussed in your treatment planning session. Then, we will wash the solution off your face and apply a neutralizing agent. You may want to bring a light sunscreen and a hat to wear outside after the treatment to avoid sun exposure.
What to Expect
Depending on the type of the peel you have, you can expect your skin to itch and peel from a few days to a couple weeks. Dr. Aspacio or a member of his team will discuss how to care for your skin during your appointment. Please keep in mind that no matter how much your skin itches during the healing process, it is never a good idea to pull the skin off. You could cause scarring to your facial skin!
