Step 1
Choose the most affordable chemical peel option of all: purchase an at-home kit. While at home kits require several applications and may never reach the same results as a deep, surgical chemical peel, they will certainly improve the quality of your skin, without the cost or side effects of a more powerful peel.

Step 2
See a spa technician who is qualified to give a chemical peel. Chemical peels administered by cosmologists or spa technicians are a step above home peel kits, yet still not quite as powerful as those given by a surgeon. However, spa chemical peels can be a great option for those who choose to save some money, heal faster and still see noticeable results.

Step 3
Get one single deep chemical peel if you are looking for drastic results quickly and easily. While it may not seem like the affordable option at the time, the cost of one peel can save you the cost of multiple superficial peels spread over time.
-
Step 4
Spread your chemical peels out over time if you do not mind waiting for your results. Many people find that they can easily afford a superficial peel once or twice a year for a year or two in order to get the same results of a more expensive deep peel in one shot. Additionally, superficial peels are often a better option for those with sensitive skin, skin conditions or darker skin.

Step 5
Call a few surgeons in neighboring states for price quotes. Because medical licensing procedures vary form state to state, you can often choose a much more affordable peel yet equal quality peel by crossing a border. Just make sure you take the time to review your doctor's credentials before you make a final decision based on cost alone.
