What published research says

These numbers come from outside sources, not our directory; each one links to its source below.

• ASPS no longer reports chemical peels (or microdermabrasion) as separate line items. Since its 2022 report ASPS folds them into one "skin resurfacing" category (first reported in 2022, 3,322,292 procedures), so a peel-only "last 3 years" ASPS count does not exist. [3]
• ASPS's 2020 national average surgeon/physician fee was $519 for a chemical peel and $167 for microdermabrasion — physician fees in plastic-surgery practices, not med spa prices. [4]
• ASPS's average surgeon/physician fee for the combined "skin resurfacing" category was $1,829 in 2023 (up from $1,489 in 2022). [2]
• In ASPS's 2025 member survey, 33% of plastic surgeons said they used chemical peels and 14% dermabrasion/microdermabrasion as facial-rejuvenation approaches in 2025 (vs 69% using hyaluronic acid fillers). [5]
• ASPS's 2024 statistics are extrapolated from a questionnaire sent to over 5,000 board-certified ASPS members (almost 1,000 responses) plus CosmetAssure data, with a stated ±4.62% margin of error at 95% confidence. [1]
• The Aesthetic Society reports an average charge of $196 for a chemical peel (down 10% vs 2021) and $302 for microneedling (down 4%) in 2022 among its surgeon practices — surgeon-practice charges, not med spa prices. [6]
• A 2026 meta-analysis (Agu-Jefferson et al., Cureus; 11 studies, 713 participants) found no significant difference between microneedling and chemical peels in achieving clinically significant (≥50%) acne-scar improvement (RR 0.97), though microneedling was more likely to give any improvement (RR 1.79). [7]
• In a 5-year single-center review of 473 superficial chemical peels in skin types III-VI (Vemula et al., JAAD 2018), 3.8% were followed by complications — crusting 2.3%, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 1.9%, redness 1.9% — all resolving within 8 months; skin type VI had higher odds (OR 5.14). [8]

What these numbers can't tell you

• Counts are Google Maps listings we classify as med spas, so they include dermatology and plastic surgery practices that offer med spa treatments and exclude spas without a Google listing.
• A treatment counts when the spa's Google listing or website names it, so a spa with an outdated menu can be over- or under-counted.
• Credentials count only clinicians a spa names with a credential (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN) on its own website, so spas that leave their team off their website are left out of those shares.
• Prices are published prices on med spa websites: we keep each spa's lowest posted price, which often is an introductory or member price, so the typical bill is higher.
• We hold no patient records: every figure describes providers, their listings and their Google reviews, not who gets treated.
• Ratings and review themes are Google's, as shown on each listing on the snapshot date; Google filters some reviews and does not publish how.
