How Much Does a Chemical Peel Cost?

Hi there-
The cost of a chemical peel is determined by the type of peel you are having done.
For example, in our practice a glycolic peel is $75 and our Lactic peel is $65.00 per treatment.
We offer a stronger peel called the VI peel that is $300 per treatment.
Package pricing for all our peels is also available since typically a series of treatments is required to achieve optimal results.
Package prices will usually lower the cost of each peel since you are paying for multiple treatments at one time.
The cost of your chemical peel treatment will vary depending on the areas you are having treated as well.
The cost of $75 for a glycolic peel includes treatment of the face, neck and decollete. If you are wanting to treat your arms and hands as well this would be considered a separate treatment for another charge of $75 due to the additional solution that would be used.

There are several factors that determine the cost of a chemical peel. The most significant difference in cost is related to the type of chemical peel that is being performed. Superficial peels such as those containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid are typically much cheaper than the stronger medium- and deep-depth chemical peels, like the TCA peel and the phenol-croton oil peel. These stronger peels are often performed under anesthesia, which contributes an added cost, and may take more time to perform and manage after the procedure is complete. However, the results of these stronger peels are usually permanent, whereas a more superficial peel may require several repeat treatments to achieve an adequate result. The severity of the skin issues to be treated, such as the deepness of the wrinkles or the amount of pigmentation changes, will be factors in determining which treatment is right for you. I recommend that you schedule a consultation with a board-certified physician who specializes in facial skin care and can evaluate your particular concerns to recommend the treatment that is most effective for you within your proposed budget. Remember, when it comes to your face, cost is a consideration, but the most important thing is that you find someone who will provide you with safe and effective treatment!

Peels come in all strengths. The cost will depend on the type of peel and
who will perform it. For example, peels
performed under a general anesthetic by a Plastic Surgeon will be more costly
than a peel performed by a medical aesthetician. It also depends on the areas
being treated, as certain acids can be applied on specific areas and others should
be applied on the face. The price can
range from $100 to $2000.

In my opinion chemical peels can be one of the best treatments for hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scars, oily prone
skin, fine lines, large pores, uneven skin texture and tone. I’d recommend a medical consultation to find
the right peel for you.

The depth of a chemical peel will determine the cost of treatment. Not everyone needs a deep chemical peel. In our office, we perform many lighter peels to reduce pigmentation and fine lines. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

In Cincinnati the average cost for a full face TCA peel is $500-$2000. The cost can depend on whether you are combining procedures. Glycolic peels average about $100.

Light chemical peels such a Jessner's solution cost $175 each and usually need 5-6 peels at 2 weeks apart. 10-15% TCA peels run about $250 each and need 3-5 peels. 20-25% TCA peels run about $500-750 each and most need 2-3 peels. 30-35% TCA peels run about $750-1500 each and 1-2 peels do great for most patients. You also will need a good cortisone lotion, prescription bleaching cream and sunscreen with each peel.

Thank you for your question! Every office likely charges different prices for different peels. The price may depend on the type of peel, depth of peel, and/or area being treated. You should be able to call around to a few offices in your area to see what they charge for different peels. I would recommend an in person consultation prior to having any type of chemical peel though, to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure and to ensure you are aware of the pre and post treatment guidelines! 

Thank you for your question. The cost of a chemical peel is determined by the type of peel used, its strength, the area being treated and the number of sessions required to get the result that you desire. Also the city in which you live and the professional experience of the cosmetic doctor will contribute to the cost of administering the chemical peel. 
Chemical peels range in strength from light to medium to deep and generally price goes up as strength goes up. See a cosmetic physician and determine the following: extent of sun damage, severity of wrinkles, severity of scars, and the amount of downtime you can afford. After answering these questions the type of peel, number of treatments needed and post care regime can be determined. 
At our location chemical peel prices range for $75 - $1200 depending on the individual clients needs.

The price of a chemical peel will depend on a number of factors, but the starting point will be the condition or conditions that you are hoping to improve.  That will directly determine the type of chemical peel used, the strength, the area or areas being treated and the number of treatments that you require.  Of course the location of the clinic and experience of the professional treating you, will also be relevant.  
Chemical Peels range from the Superficial, which will give you gentle exfoliation and can be repeated at frequent intervals, to Medium which will use stronger solutions and achiever greater peeling, to Deep, which as the name suggests will produce more visible results but the potential for complications and side effects with Deep Peels is also much greater.  
In my clinic many patients opt to have chemical peels as a maintenance treatment in between their scheduled visits for laser or other energy based treatments.  
Chemical peels are also very popular for the person who wants to improve the appearance of fine lines or other imperfections on their skin, but does not want to have any injectable or energy based (laser, IPL etc) treatments.  Prices for chemical peels at my clinic in Central London start at £190.  I hope this information has been helpful.
