How much does a chemical peel cost?

The average cost of skin resurfacing procedures like chemical peels is $1,489, according to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Prices may be based on the expertise and qualifications of the person performing the procedure, type of chemical peel performed, time and effort the procedure or treatment requires and the geographic location of the office.

Chemical peel costs may include:

• Anesthesia fees (when done with anesthesia)
• Prescriptions for medications
• Facility costs

Be sure to ask your surgeon about all costs involved in your procedure.

When choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for any treatment, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
