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.
