Chemical Peels Las Vegas
NON-SURGICAL
Introduction to Chemical Peels
At our award-winning practice in Las Vegas, chemical peels are one of our most common cosmetic treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin. They work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new skin that replaces it is often smoother, more even-toned, and less wrinkled. Using the highest quality in chemical peel aesthetic treatments, Platinum Plastic Surgery provides patients with choices for personalized facial treatment with chemical solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, and trichloroacetic acid and retinol) that adds more radiance to your skin.
Our team offers chemical peel treatments that improve skin flaws including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven patches, acne, scars and more. Below, we’ve included more information about getting a chemical peel in Las Vegas. If you’d like to schedule a one-on-one consultation, please contact us today!
What is a Chemical Peel?
Consulting with a skin care specialist is the first part of the journey to healthier skin. One of our Advanced Aestheticians will evaluate your skin during a consultation before selecting a chemical peel for ideal results. Chemical peel patients, of both genders, typically have visible problems in their skin like rough patches, acne/acne scars, discoloration, flaky skin, fine lines, sun spots, and more. We will recommend multiple types of peels to fit your concerns and suit your cosmetic goals together. *It is important to note that this procedure does require some healing time, so being patient and waiting for the results is part of the process as your skin heals.
Who are the Best Candidates for Chemical Peels?
Consulting with a skin care specialist is the first part of the journey to healthier skin. Dr. Costa or one of his team members at Platinum Plastic Surgery will evaluate your skin during a consultation in our Las Vegas, NV office before selecting a chemical peel for ideal results. Chemical peel patients, of both genders, typically have visible problems in their skin like rough patches, acne scars, discoloration, flaky skin, fine lines, sun spots, and more. We will recommend multiple types of peels to fit your concerns and suit your cosmetic goals for a healthier, brighter complexion. It is important to note that this procedure does require some healing time, so being patient and waiting for the results is part of the process as your skin heals.
What types of Chemical Peels do we offer?
In our Las Vegas, NV office, we provide chemical peels in multiple levels (light and medium) to fit our patients’ skin concerns.
- Light peels: You can receive a light peel on your lunch break and get back to your routine. Our light peels will remove the outer layer of skin (the epidermis), giving your complexion a more radiant appearance and smoother texture. We usually recommend that you get a light treatment around once a month for the ideal glowing results.
- Medium-depth peels:This strength of peel penetrates further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this level of facial treatment during an extended weekend to allow the needed social downtime. You may also prefer to prepare yourself for increased discomfort during and around one hour following the chemical peel. Medium-depth peels are best for patients who have deeper damage to their skin such as deeper lines and darker pigmentation problems.
What’s the First Step?
The first step is to book a consultation. We’ll want to meet with you in the comfort of our office for a private appointment. Our team will want to get a good idea of your skin routine, what medications you’re currently taking, and what you’re allergic to. If we both feel that a chemical peel will be the best solution to improve your skin, we’ll schedule your service and provide you with some pre-treatment instructions.
What to Expect on the Day of Chemical Peels
Your Advanced Esthetician will ensure the skin is cleansed and prepped before applying the peel to the treatment areas. We will apply the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for an appropriate length of time which will be determined by which peel is decided in your chemical peel consultation. Finally, we will follow the appropriate steps, depending on the specific chemical peel protocols. Patients are encouraged to bring sunscreen or a hat to wear outside following the procedure to protect them from environmental exposure.
Chemical Peels Recovery
Based on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you should expect the face to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks, with some redness and other side effects visible as well. One of our Advanced Aesthetians will go over methods to treat your face during your consultation to ensure the fastest healing time possible. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the post-treatment process, it’s not helpful to pick the skin off. You may create scarring on your delicate skin. After your skin has healed, you can enjoy brighter, smoother skin that has fewer afflictions and blemishes. Depending on the depth of the treatment, you may need to schedule follow-up appointments regularly to maintain your outcome.

At the helm of Platinum Plastic Surgery is Dr. Chirstopher Costa who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Chemical Peels FAQs
Are Chemcial Peels painful?
Dr. Costa does use a cooling compress on your skin to help your procedure be more comfortable, however, some patients do feel a burning sensation that can last between 5 and 10 minutes. You may be given some pain medication during or after a deeper peel.
How many appointments will I need?
This varies from patient to patient and depends on the extent of the desired treatment area. Many of Dr. Costa’s patients get a Chemical Peel once every month in order to maintain the effects of the treatment. For deeper or more intense treatments, we highly advise waiting 4 to 6 months between appointments.
How long until I see results?
You will be able to notice a significant improvement in your skin tone and texture following your first treatment.
Can I combine Facial Peels with other procedures?
Yes. Many of our patients will combine their Chemical Peel with a HydraFacial or Micro-needling. If you are interested in additional treatments, let Dr. Costa know during your consultation so that he can provide you with a personal treatment plan.
