What Is a Chemical Peel?
Before discussing costs, it’s important to understand what a chemical peel is. A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin that emerges is often smoother, more even, and less wrinkled. There are three main types of chemical peels:
- Superficial Peels: These peels use mild acids such as glycolic or salicylic acid and only penetrate the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis). They are ideal for light exfoliation and addressing minor skin concerns like mild pigmentation and fine lines.
- Medium Peels: Using stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), medium peels reach deeper into the skin to treat more pronounced wrinkles, acne scars, and moderate pigmentation.
- Deep Peels: Phenol-based peels go the deepest and are used for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and significant sun damage. These peels require a longer recovery period and often produce more dramatic results.
- Type of Peel
- Superficial Peels: Typically, these can cost between £60 and £150 per session.
- Medium Peels: These range between £150 and £400 per session, depending on the clinic and the complexity of the treatment.
- Deep Peels: Deep chemical peels are more intensive, and their price can range from £500 to £1,500 or more per treatment due to the expertise required and longer recovery times.
