In our office, we use the Melapeel to address pigmentation, acne, and large pores. The peel is a few hundred dollars and works well to treat the skin. We believe this peel is preferable to a glycolic peel. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
Most chemical peels can range from $100-$300 (and can go up from there) depending on the percentage of chemicals and the quality of the office you are going. It's best to look for an office that works with multiple chemical peels and have the experience of working with a range of skin types. The initial analysis it the most important. In my office we use the VISIA skin care analysis system that allow us to not only see what would work best or your skin but we can track your results.
The type of chemical peels offered in our offices (30% Glycolic or Jessner's Peels) is approximately $75 - $150 in our area of Los Angeles. Prices will vary depending on whether or not the service is purchased in a package and/or along with other treatments.
As with any cosmetic procedure, the price of a glycolic acid peel may vary greatly. Generally they range in price from $50.00. (usually in a spa) to $200.00. The price will also vary by region. When considering where to go also consider the strength of the glycolic acid peel. Higher strength peels, such as a 90% peel will generally be more expensive than a 30% peel. Dina Strachan, MD.

The fees for plastic surgery fees vary greatly depending on geographic location and the expertise of the surgeon. Glycolic peels tend to range from $50 to $200 per peel.
The cost for a single Glycolic Peel in my practice is $100. After having the first peel, you will most likely want to do a series of peels approximately 2-3 weeks apart. We offer a series of four peels for $300 and a series of six peels for $400. I use a 70% strength glycolic acid and apply it myself.
In our practice, usually the aesthetician performs the glycolic peels. We charge $85 for a single peel and $300 for a series of 4. It is probably lower in a so-called medi-spa, and a bit higher in places like LA or NYC.
TCA peels are strong but effective therapy for these dark scars on the legs. However, longterm treatment should begin with Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM topical creams in the setting of chemical peels. I would also strongly recommend the MelaPads to reduce the ingrown hairs and...
This is a case where more is better. The more peels you do, the better the results. It certainly takes a series of gylcolic acid peels to see initial results, as gylcolic acid is considered part of the group of light peeling agents. Glycolic acid is an α-hydroxy acid, a...
We are not big proponents of peels for the pigment you describe. For pigment caused by sun damage, we would suggest q-stitched lasers. For Melasma (pregnancy mask) we would suggest hydroquinone bleaching programs. Both of these programs will work better than chemical peels.
