175–450 USD Per Clinical Procedure

Every chemical peel procedure at Zenita Skin costs between $175 and $450 depending on acid concentration, active volume, application passes, and post-neutralisation barrier recovery steps.

Chemical peeling is medical exfoliation through controlled acid keratolysis. A mild AHA refresher costs $175, while a layered 20% TCA resurfacing session requiring intense neutralisation and active regenerative balms costs $450. We present fees openly before treatment starts. You receive an itemised review of acid lot numbers, target penetration depth, and post-procedure recovery supplies.

We reject the practice of applying unmeasured acid mixtures or skipping neutralisation timers. Every procedure is timed with digital stopwatches, monitored for frosting patterns, and terminated with pH-restoring bicarbonate rinse.

2021 Clinical Protocol Directorship

Irina Petrova has directed clinical formulation audits and skin chemical peel protocols at Zenita Skin since 2021, establishing strict pH monitoring and dermal safety tolerances.

Irina Petrova oversees every formulation batch entering our Austin facility. Backed by corporate registration in Florida and verified active membership in professional aesthetic dermatology associations, our clinic operates under precise cosmetological standards. We track chemical stability, buffer ratios, and manufacturer certification for every bottle.

Patients receive a structured chemical peel evaluation examining past sun exposure, Fitzpatrick skin phototype, and medication history. We will not apply high-strength acids if your barrier integrity score fails baseline testing.

Acid Purity Testing

USP Grade

All acid compounds are verified for USP pharmaceutical grade purity. Solutions are stored in amber glass under nitrogen seal to prevent photo-oxidation and crystallization.

Lot Tracking Irina Petrova Audit

Dermal Photometry

Fitzpatrick I–VI

Pigmentary response risk is mapped before peel selection. Fitzpatrick types IV through VI receive mandatory pre-treatment pigment suppressors to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Melanin Index Safety Protocol

Barrier Diagnostics

TEWL Sensor

Transepidermal water loss is measured before and 72 hours following treatment. Barrier reconstruction is documented with numeric hydration probes rather than subjective impressions.

Quantitative Data In-Clinic Verification
50 MIN Clinical Procedure Duration

A chemical peel appointment occupies fifty minutes in our Austin treatment suite, structured across lipid stripping, timed acid application, chemical neutralisation, and barrier encasement.

The process follows a rigid clinical standard designed to prevent uncontrolled penetration or post-peel crusting:

  1. Lipid Stripping & Degreasing: The skin is cleansed of sebum, makeup residue, and surface debris using an astringent medical witch hazel and isopropyl pre-peel cleanser. This step establishes uniform acid uptake across all facial zones.
  2. Calibrated Layering: The chosen formulation is applied with medical-grade cotton applicators in measured quadrants, beginning with the forehead and moving downward. Each pass is timed, observing erythema and pinpoint frosting.
  3. Alkaline Neutralisation: A buffered sodium bicarbonate solution is sprayed to halt acid activity immediately at the target endpoint, returning the epidermal pH from 2.4 back to 5.5.
  4. Barrier Encasement: A cold compress infused with panthenol and ceramide recovery cream is layered over the treated area, followed by non-nano zinc oxide physical sunblock.
6 MONTHS Isotretinoin Clearance Window

Patients must present at least six months of complete cessation following oral isotretinoin therapy before receiving any clinical acid peel at our Austin practice.

Chemical exfoliation is a medical procedure, not a superficial spa service. We do not treat clients who have used oral isotretinoin within the last six months, individuals with active herpes simplex lesions, or anyone with sunburn. Pregnant or nursing clients are limited to mild lactic formulations after medical clearance.

If you want instant peeling without adhering to a 14-day home-care sun protection protocol, our clinic is not for you. Peeling requires disciplined post-procedure care with lipid balms and daily broad-spectrum SPF.

Will my skin visibly peel off in sheets?

Visible flaking depends on the acid depth. Superficial AHA and BHA peels produce microscopic desquamation that resembles dry flaking for two to three days. Medium-depth TCA peels create controlled superficial sheeting starting on day three and concluding by day seven. You will receive precise post-peel lipid creams to accelerate re-epithelialisation.

What is the price basis and what does it include?

Our fees range from $175 to $450 per procedure. The quote depends on acid concentration, total passes, neutralisation steps, and the post-care recovery pack provided during your appointment. We give you a final, transparent price before treatment begins.

How soon can I apply makeup or exercise?

Light exercise and mineral makeup are permissible 24 hours after superficial AHA peels. For TCA peels, strenuous workouts, sauna visits, and cosmetic makeup must be avoided for 72 hours to prevent bacterial contamination and sweat-induced follicular inflammation.
