Chemical Peels in JB: Types, Costs, and What Results to Expect
Published 15 April 2026 by Enzo
Chemical peels are one of the most cost-effective skin improvement treatments available at JB clinics. Prices start from just RM 100 per session for superficial peels, making them accessible even for budget-conscious visitors.
Peel Types and What They Treat
Chemical peels are categorized by depth:
- Superficial peels (RM 100-300): glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid. Target dullness, mild acne, early pigmentation. Minimal downtime.
- Medium-depth peels (RM 300-800): TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Jessner's solution. Target acne scars, deeper pigmentation, sun damage. 3-7 days downtime.
- Deep peels (RM 800-2,000): phenol-based. Rarely done at aesthetic clinics; more common in dermatology settings for severe scarring.
What to Expect
For superficial peels: the acid solution is applied for 2-5 minutes. You feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation. The peel is neutralized and removed. Mild redness fades within hours. No visible peeling in most cases.
For medium-depth peels: the acid stays on longer and penetrates deeper. Expect a more intense stinging sensation. Your skin will visibly peel for 3-7 days after treatment. Avoid sun exposure during this period and use SPF 50+.
JB Clinics for Chemical Peels
Clinics like Dermed Clinic (led by dermatologist Dr. Muniandi), Aglow Clinic, and NARQES Medispa offer chemical peels as part of their treatment menus. For medium-depth peels, choose a clinic with a medical doctor rather than a beauty spa. Combine peels with microneedling in separate sessions for enhanced results on acne scars.
