Dr. Lane Smith: Board-Certified Surgeon Turned Med Spa Founder
Dr. Lane Smith is a plastic surgeon who holds four separate board certifications — a level of credentialing that places him among the most qualified aesthetic practitioners in the state of Nevada. After years of performing surgical procedures on hundreds of patients, Dr. Smith recognized a gap in the Las Vegas market: patients who had undergone cosmetic surgery needed a dedicated facility for non-surgical maintenance, and patients who were not yet ready for surgery needed access to medical-grade aesthetic treatments administered under physician oversight. In 2009, he founded Chic La Vie Med Spa at 7650 West Sahara Avenue, Suite 3, in Las Vegas, NV 89117 — a non-surgical aesthetics practice near the Summerlin corridor on the west side of the valley. The name, French for “the chic life,” reflects the practice’s positioning: clinical rigor delivered in a spa environment, with every treatment protocol designed or supervised by a board-certified surgeon.
Chic La Vie offers Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, HydraFacials, chemical peels, microneedling, body sculpting, and a range of skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments. The distinction between Chic La Vie and many of the med spas that have opened across the valley in recent years is medical depth — Dr. Smith’s surgical background means the practice can assess patients holistically, identifying which concerns are best addressed non-surgically and which may benefit from a surgical consultation. That clinical foundation has kept Chic La Vie operating for more than sixteen years in a sector where many med spas open and close within a few years. With 137 reviews on Yelp and a steady stream of referrals from Dr. Smith’s surgical practice, the spa has built its patient base through outcomes rather than promotional campaigns.
Chic La Vie Med Spa in the Las Vegas Valley
The med spa market in Las Vegas has expanded rapidly over the past decade, driven by the city’s image-conscious culture and the accessibility of non-surgical aesthetic treatments. That expansion has also brought a wave of minimally credentialed operators and franchise models into the valley. Chic La Vie Med Spa occupies a different tier — founded and directed by a quadruple-board-certified plastic surgeon with a practice that predates the current boom. The West Sahara location near Durango sits at the boundary between the established west valley neighborhoods and the Summerlin corridor, drawing patients from both sides. For Las Vegas residents who want medical-grade aesthetics administered under genuine surgical oversight, Chic La Vie has been the locally rooted answer since 2009.
