Factors Affecting Price:

1. Treatment Area: Facial skin is relatively sensitive and requires higher precision and safety, so prices are generally higher.

2. Acid Concentration: Higher concentrations produce stronger effects but require more professional application and greater safety precautions, resulting in higher costs.

3. Regional Differences: In first-tier cities, where economic development, living costs, and market demand are higher, chemical peel prices tend to be higher as well.

It is recommended to consult at a reputable medical facility and have treatments performed by experienced physicians to effectively minimize risks.
