How Do Chemical Peels Work?
A chemical peel’s main purpose is to peel away the top layer of your skin where all the damage from age, exposure, and the sun accumulate. It sounds simple, but skin is complex, and the number of skin concerns a chemical peel can rectify is pretty significant. That’s why, at ZENA Medical, we use only medical-grade chemical peels that are highly customizable to each patient’s desires for skin clarity and improvement. Worried about wrinkles or age spots? We have a chemical peel for that. Are acne scars, blemishes, and texture concerns your main focus? ZENA Medical’s chemical peels can target them, too. In fact chemical peels can be customized for virtually any skin issue, such as:
- Sun damage
- Rosacea, melasma, and hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars, blemishes, and texture irregularities
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots
- Dull, dry (or oily) complexion
Because chemical peels can be light, moderate, or deep, it’s best to see a medical professional, like Dr. Zenovia and the experts at ZENA Medical, for a thorough evaluation and frank, honest discussion about what chemical peels will do for your specific skin type and concerns. ZENA Medical also offers Dr. Donna West’s signature Radiant Skin regimen, which combines the benefits of microdermabrasion with Glyderm chemical peels. It’s a signature series of treatments performed every 2-4 weeks which can get to the source of your deepest skin concerns and rectify them with amazing results.
How Much Are Chemical Peels?
Because of the vast array of choices with chemical peels, there’s a lot of leeway in the price. At ZENA Medical, we prepare you for all aspects of your chemical peel, including in how much you’d expect to pay.
Nationally, according to Healthline, the average chemical peel costs around $673. As the peel increases in strength, so does the price. For the deepest peels, which require the patient to go under general anesthesia, the cost can be as much as $6,000. For patients seeking a light peel a few days before a big event to refresh their complexion, the price may be as small as $100.
