How Much are Chemical Peels?

With so many options for achieving clear, even skin, how do you know which one to choose? Chemical peels are a popular, customizable tool for skin rejuvenation. These treatments address a wide range of skin concerns, from acne to lines and wrinkles. While the cost of chemical peels varies widely, they can be a lower-cost alternative to lasers and other facial treatments. 

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels or facial peels are skin rejuvenation treatments applied to the skin and left on for a period of time. They typically use different types of acids that separate the outer layers of dead, damaged skin cells and reveal smoother, clearer layers beneath. We will customize a peel for your needs using these options:

• Advanced Pigment Corrector
• AHA (Alpha hydroxy acids) 20% & 30%
• BHA (Beta hydroxy acid) 20% & 30%
• Glycolic Peel
• Lactic Acid 2%
• Lactic Acid & Salicylic Acid 14%

These options can be combined to create facial peels of different strengths and target different skin concerns. 

How Much are Chemical Peels?

Because chemical peels come in many varieties and are often customized, it is difficult to provide an estimated cost. Light chemical peels are less expensive than stronger ones but will require more sessions. Factors that affect the cost of your chemical peel include:

• Your location
• Your aesthetician’s skill and experience
• The type of chemical peel
• The number of sessions needed

The average cost of a chemical peel is about $650. A light peel can cost as little as $200, while a deep peel, which is only performed under very specific conditions, can cost up to $6,000. We recommend scheduling a consultation so we can discuss your goals and develop a plan to help you achieve them, including your overall cost. 

What Can Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels can treat a wide range of skin issues. They refresh and rejuvenate your skin’s surface layers to eliminate textural and pigmentation issues for all skin types. We often recommend chemical peels to address the following:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Acne and acne scars
• Enlarged pores

Combine your chemical peels with medical-grade skincare and sun protection to maximize your results and see the most dramatic improvements. Our team can recommend the best products for your skin.
