How Much Does a Glycolic Peel Cost?

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.
