A chemical peel is one of several facial treatments we offer in Las Vegas. It is a skin resurfacing treatment that applies a controlled acid solution — such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or TCA (trichloroacetic acid) — to the skin. The acid breaks the bonds between dead and damaged cells on the surface, causing them to peel away over several days and reveal fresh, smoother skin underneath.
Types of Chemical Peels
- Superficial peels (glycolic, lactic): Lightest option; minimal downtime; good for brightening and mild texture
- Medium peels (TCA, Jessner's): Moderate peeling for 5–7 days; targets deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage
- Deep peels (phenol): Most aggressive; significant downtime; reserved for severe scarring or deep wrinkles
