Chemical Peel Cost: Light, Medium and Deep

    Chemical peel pricing splits cleanly by depth. A light peel at a Pennsylvania med spa is $100 to $300 and needs repeating. A medium peel is $400 to $1,000 and comes with about a week of visible peeling. Any quote that does not say which depth you are getting is not a quote yet.

    How long does chemical peel last?

    1 to 3 months for a light peel.

    A light peel lasts a month or two and is designed to be repeated, which is why it is normally sold as a course of four to six. A medium peel lasts six months to a year. Deep peels last years but are a surgical procedure done under sedation, not something a med spa performs.

    What changes the price

    • Depth. This is the whole price. Light peels run $100 to $300, medium peels $400 to $1,000.
    • Who performs it. Dermatology offices charge roughly 30 to 50 percent more than med spas for the same light peel.
    • Course versus single. Light peels only really work as a series, so compare course prices rather than one visit.
    • Membership pricing. Some practices fold a quarterly light peel into a monthly membership, which changes the maths if you were going regularly anyway.

    Common questions

    How much does a chemical peel cost?

    $100 to $300 for a light peel and $400 to $1,000 for a medium one at a Pennsylvania med spa. Dermatology offices generally charge more than med spas for the same light peel.

    How long does a chemical peel last?

    One to three months for a light peel, which is why they are sold as a course of four to six. A medium peel lasts six months to a year.

    What is the difference between a light and a medium peel?

    Depth, downtime and price. A light peel exfoliates the outer layer with little visible peeling and no real time off. A medium peel reaches further, causes about a week of obvious peeling, and does correspondingly more for pigmentation and fine lines.
