How Much Does A Chemical Peel Cost?

How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?

One important thing to know from the start is that Chemical Peels are almost always considered cosmetic procedures. For this reason, insurance rarely ever covers the cost of a peel. This makes the full cost of the chemical peel the responsibility of the patient.  With this in mind, here are the factors that affect the price of a chemical peel:

1. The location of the clinic – the cost of living varies from region to region and state to state.
2. The expertise of the provider – generally speaking, you will pay more when a physician performs a procedure and less when a certified technician performs the procedure.
3. The type of peel you get–

• Light Chemical Peel removes the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and can cost as low as $150.
• Medium Chemical Peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from the upper portion of the dermis (middle layer of skin) and has an average cost of $673.
• Deep Chemical Peels remove skin cells from the epidermis and from the mid to lower layers of your dermis. This is used for deeper wrinkles, scars, or even precancerous growths. and can cost upwards of $3000 especially if the patient needs anesthesia for this procedure. 

With all of this in mind, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost is $673 per treatment. The very best way to know the cost of a treatment based on your individual needs is to visit the staff at Skinatomy Laser Clinic. They can give you more details about each peel and help you decide which one is just right for you.
