Chemical Skin Peel

Chemical skin peel is not an exorbitantly expensive treatment method. However, the cost of the treatment is dependant on several factors. Some of these include the type of chemical being used, professional qualification and experience of the surgeon performing the peel and the facility at which the treatment is being done.


The type of chemical being used for a chemical peel is the most important factor that determines the overall cost of the procedure. Chemical peels are classified into mild, medium and deep treatments. Mild treatment are done using glycolic acid peels and are effective to remove superficial scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Medium treatments are done using Trichloroacetic acid. Deep treatments involve use of phenol and target more severe problems such as coarse wrinkles, pre-cancerous growths and prominent scars. Each procedure is different and has a separate cost depending on the chemical used. In general, a mild treatment averages from $150 to $300. Medium treatment involving a full-face chemical peel costs between $1,000 and $2,000. In both the treatment procedures, multiple treatment sessions are required.
