In certain cases, health insurance may cover the peel procedure. Be sure to check your policy and contact your insurance company before the procedure is performed. Chemical peel in most cases is considered elective or "cosmetic" surgery, which means you’ll have to pay for it yourself.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 1998 the average fee charged by the surgeon for chemical peel was $1,353. (That does not cover sedative or hospital/surgical center charges.) The ASPS reports the following state-by-state averages of fees charged by surgeons in 1998 for a full face chemical peel: California, $1,662; New York, $1,550; Florida, $1,048; Texas,$1,869.
