Treating Your Skin the Best Way Possible

Expert Skincare Solutions for Las Vegas Residents and Visitors!

Living in Las Vegas’ dry desert climate presents unique challenges for your skin. The intense sun exposure, low humidity, and extreme temperatures can lead to dehydration, premature aging, and increased sun damage. Without the right skincare routine and professional treatments, your skin may become dry, dull, and prone to fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

At Summerlin Dermatology, we specialize in advanced dermatology and aesthetic skincare solutions to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin—even in the harsh Las Vegas climate. Here’s how to give your skin the best care possible.

Start Your Day with the Right Skincare Routine

A proper morning skincare routine sets the foundation for hydrated, protected, and youthful-looking skin.

1. Cleanse & Exfoliate – Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil buildup. Using an exfoliating product (such as those from Obagi® or SkinCeuticals®, available at Summerlin Dermatology) 2-3 times per week helps remove dead skin cells and keep your pores clear.

2. Hydrate & Nourish – Apply a hydrating toner followed by a medical-grade moisturizer to replenish lost moisture and reinforce your skin barrier.

3. Apply Sunscreen Daily – Never skip SPF! Las Vegas' strong UVA/UVB radiation can cause sunspots, wrinkles, and skin cancer. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 45+ on all exposed skin, including your face, neck, and hands. If you’ll be outdoors for an extended period, reapply every two hours and consider wearing sun-protective clothing.

At Summerlin Dermatology, we can point you in the direction of dermatologist-recommended sunscreens that are lightweight, non-greasy, and safe for all skin types.

Nighttime Skincare: Repair & Rejuvenate

After a long day, your skin needs replenishment and repair.

1. Double Cleanse – Remove makeup, sunscreen, and pollutants with a gentle cleanser. A second cleanse ensures deep pore purification.

2. Use Retinol or Anti-Aging Serums – Retinol (Vitamin A derivatives) boost cell turnover, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture. Other beneficial serums include hyaluronic acid (for hydration) and vitamin C (for brightening and antioxidant protection).

3. Moisturize & Lock in Hydration – A rich night cream or hydrating mask can restore lost moisture, keeping your skin plump and refreshed.

For customized skincare recommendations, Dr. Aspacio and our team at Summerlin Dermatology can help you select the best medical-grade products tailored to your skin type.

Enhance Your Skincare with Professional Treatments

In addition to an effective daily regimen, regular in-office treatments can prevent and reverse signs of aging, sun damage, and dehydration. Some of our most popular skincare treatments include:

• HydraFacialMD® – Deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates skin for a radiant glow.

• Chemical Peels – Removes dead skin cells, reduces hyperpigmentation, and smooths fine lines.

• Microneedling with PRP – Stimulates collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.

• Laser Skin Rejuvenation – Targets sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone.

By incorporating advanced skincare treatments into your routine, you can boost your skin’s health and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What to Look for in an Aesthetician?

When it comes to skincare and aesthetics, choosing the right aesthetician, or laser & skincare specialist, is just as important as selecting a doctor. Whether you're considering a facial, chemical peel, laser treatment, or other skin rejuvenation procedure, the experience, skill, and professionalism of your technician can make all the difference.

At Summerlin Dermatology, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier aesthetic treatments under the guidance of Dr. Reuel Aspacio, a highly respected board-certified dermatologist with over 25 years of experience. Here’s what to look for when selecting an aesthetician to ensure your skin gets the best care possible.

1. Professionalism & Clean, Welcoming Environment

A top-quality aesthetician should always maintain a professional and inviting atmosphere. When visiting a skincare clinic, pay attention to:

1. The cleanliness and organization of the treatment rooms

2. Professional demeanor of the staff

3. Up-to-date technology and high-quality skincare products

At Summerlin Dermatology, our certified laser & skincare technicians work alongside dermatology professionals to ensure you receive safe, medically supervised treatments in a state-of-the-art, hygienic environment.

2. Personalized Approach & Great Communication

A great aesthetician should listen carefully to your concerns and recommend customized treatments based on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare goals. At Summerlin Dermatology, our team takes the time to:

1. Understand your skincare needs and goals

2. Perform a thorough skin analysis before recommending treatments

3. Educate you on procedures, aftercare, and long-term skincare maintenance

Dr. Aspacio and his team believe in a patient-first approach, ensuring you feel comfortable, informed, and confident before beginning any treatment.

3. Experience, Education & Proper Licensing

Not all aestheticians have the same level of training. When choosing an aesthetician, ask about:

• Advanced training in medical aesthetics

• Certifications in specific procedures (e.g., laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels)

• Experience working in a dermatology or medical setting

At Summerlin Dermatology, our laser & skincare technicians are highly trained in non-invasive and advanced skincare treatments, ensuring your procedures are safe, effective, and tailored to your skin type.

4. Wide Range of High-Quality Services

An experienced aesthetician should offer more than just basic facials. Look for a provider that specializes in a variety of advanced treatments, such as:

• HydraFacialMD® – Deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin for a radiant glow.

• Chemical Peels – Improves skin tone, texture, and reduces fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

• Microneedling – Stimulates collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.

• Laser Treatments – Reduces sun damage, pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines.

• Oxygen Facials – Refreshes and rejuvenates skin by infusing it with pure oxygen and antioxidants.

At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer all these dermatologist-approved treatments to help you achieve healthy, beautiful skin.

5. Positive Reviews & Patient Satisfaction

Before booking an appointment, take the time to read patient testimonials and ask for references. A trusted aesthetician should have consistent positive feedback and a track record of happy clients.

At Summerlin Dermatology, we are proud to have 5-star reviews from patients who trust us with their skincare. Our expert team, led by Dr. Aspacio, is dedicated to providing the highest level of care and customized treatments for all skin types.

Laser Hair Removal: Is It the Right Choice for You?

Unwanted hair can be a frustrating and time-consuming issue, leading many to seek a more permanent solution beyond shaving, waxing, and plucking. Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States, offering long-term results with minimal maintenance. At Summerlin Dermatology, we specialize in advanced laser hair removal using the latest technology to deliver safe, effective, and customized treatments for all skin types.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated pulses of light. The Elos® technology we use at Summerlin Dermatology combines laser energy with radiofrequency (RF) to precisely target and disable hair follicles while ensuring maximum comfort and safety. Over time, treated hair falls out and regrowth is significantly reduced, leaving skin smoother and maintenance-free.

Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

1. Long-Lasting Results – Over 90% of patients experience significant hair reduction after completing a series of treatments (typically 3 to 5 sessions). Unlike waxing or shaving, which require constant upkeep, laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution.

2. Precision Targeting – The laser selectively treats coarse, dark hairs while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. This makes it ideal for sensitive areas such as the face, underarms, and bikini line.

3. Fast & Efficient – Each laser pulse takes less than a second and can treat multiple hairs at once. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip, can be treated in under a minute, while larger areas like the legs or back may take under an hour per session.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer laser hair removal for a wide range of areas, including:

• Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks)

• Underarms

• Arms & Legs

• Bikini line & Brazilian

• Back & Chest

Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

To ensure optimal results, our board-certified specialists recommend the following pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid sun exposure for at least 6 weeks before and after treatment, as tanned skin can reduce laser effectiveness.

• Refrain from waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for at least 6 weeks before treatment, since the laser targets hair follicles, which need to be intact.

• Shave the treatment area the day before your session for better laser penetration.

Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

Following treatment, the treated area may appear slightly red or sunburned. This is temporary and typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. To help with healing:

• Apply a soothing moisturizer or cool compress to reduce any discomfort.

• Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, especially if the treated area is exposed to sunlight.

• Follow up with your scheduled treatments to achieve optimal hair reduction.
