Chemical Peel Cost
Chemical peel cost will vary from one area to another, and will be dependent upon which type of chemical peel that you are having.
Chemical peel costs
A mild chemical peel using glycolic acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid will cost between $150-$300. This cost is for the doctor’s fees only and does not cover the cost of anaesthesia, the use of an operating room, or, if needed, a stay in hospital.
Medium chemical peels using trichloroacetic acid smoothes out surface wrinkles, removes superficial blemishes and corrects uneven skin tone. This treatment can cost from $1000-$2000. Bear in mind that it’s likely this treatment will need to be repeated every two to three months, so this should be a consideration when working out your budget.
Deep chemical peels using phenol acid will remove several more layers of skin and will eliminate sun damaged skin and acne scars. This treatment gives longer lasting results and will cost approximately $2500-$6000. These costs usually include consultation fees and any follow-up care deemed necessary.
The cost of chemical peels is also dependent upon any other issues the patient may have, and so the above pricing is approximate only.
In the case of chemical peels on suspected cancerous tissue it may be possible to get help from your insurance company, but this would have to be discussed with the people concerned.
Generally speaking it’s best to discuss all the options which may be open to you with your doctor who can advise you on the best way to overcome any expenditure which may result over and above the original chemical peel price.
Before you decide, you must also consider whether or not in the case of the mild or medium chemical peels, you’ll be able to fund any future treatment comfortably, bearing in mind they may need to be repeated every 2-3 months.
