Why Consider a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels can be light, medium, or deep to accommodate a wide variety of skin conditions. This facial peel is especially helpful in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring and improving skin texture. It is also safe and effective to use on the face, neck, and hands.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Before any chemical peel in Las Vegas at Stile Aesthetics, the skin will be assessed to determine the exact skin concerns and the most appropriate type of peel. The skin will be thoroughly cleaned and prepped prior to the peel. We offer light, medium, and deep facial peels.

Superficial/Light Peels

The superficial/light chemical peel is the mildest form of peel that works by removing the outermost layer of skin. The peel is usually a diluted version of glycolic acid that is left on the skin for a few minutes. After the peel, the skin will be slightly red, but there will be no downtime. The patient’s skin may peel slightly for 3 – 5 days, and a series of treatments is usually required to achieve optimal results.

Medium Depth Peels

A medium-depth peel removes several layers of skin to treat deeper skin problems. These peels are good for moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, as well as moderate scars and other skin problems. TCA, or Trichloroacetic Acid, is applied in a controlled manner for a specific length of time. After a certain point, the acid will be neutralized to stop its effects. The recovery period for this peel is about ten days, and the results will be more dramatic than those of a light peel.

Deep Peel

A deep peel produces the most dramatic results, so it is reserved for more serious skin conditions. Since it’s an invasive procedure, local anesthesia or numbing cream may be used. Phenol acid is used for severe lines and wrinkles, various facial irregularities, and deep acne scars. It takes a patient about 14 days to recover since the peel is similar to second-degree burns. Most patients will only need one peel to reach their aesthetic goals.

What Results Will I See From a Chemical Peel?

Problematic skin problems can be peeled away with a light, medium, or deep chemical peel. The peels are great at clearing up a number of skin issues, such as fine lines and wrinkles or tone and texture issues, to leave you with better, clearer, more rejuvenated skin. Patients may see optimal results within a few days or a few weeks, depending on the depth of their peel.

Is There Any Downtime After a Chemical Peel?

In most cases, there is only downtime associated with medium or deep peels. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after a light peel. For deeper peels, recovery time may be necessary, and we will provide aftercare instructions.

Chemical Peel Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which type of chemical peel is right for me?

The appropriate type of chemical peel depends on your skin concerns. Dr. Stile will assess your skin condition and recommend either a light, medium, or deep peel based on factors like wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture.

How many chemical peel treatments will I need?

For optimal results, multiple treatments may be required, especially with light peels. Medium and deep peels typically produce more dramatic results after just one session. Dr. Stile will create a treatment plan based on your skin needs and goals.

What are the main benefits of a chemical peel?

Chemical peels help to rejuvenate the skin by improving texture, reducing fine lines, minimizing acne scars, and enhancing overall skin tone. Each peel type addresses specific concerns, from mild exfoliation to deeper resurfacing for more significant skin issues.

How long will my results last after a chemical peel?

Results can last for months depending on the type of peel and your skincare routine. Light peels may require regular treatments, while medium and deep peels typically offer more long-lasting results. Dr. Stile will guide you on maintaining your results.

Is there any pain during a chemical peel treatment?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during light peels. For medium and deep peels, numbing agents or local anesthesia may be used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Any discomfort after the treatment is usually mild and can be managed with aftercare.
