  • Tell the practitioner about cold sores, pregnancy or isotretinoin use before the peel
  • Ask who will carry out the chemical peel and what training they have

Chemical Peels cost: questions people ask

A single light peel is usually £60 to £180, with about £110 typical outside London. Medium and deep peels cost far more.

Around 30 to 45 minutes. A first visit with a full consultation takes longer.

Superficial peels are often done by trained skin therapists. Medium and deep peels should be carried out by experienced medical practitioners because the risks of scarring and pigment change are higher.

For acne, pigmentation or texture, several light peels spaced a few weeks apart usually beat a single session. Clinics often price a set of peels below the cost of booking each one.

Medium and deep peels, priming creams and aftercare products are normally priced on their own.
