Chemical Peel Treatment in Selangor
Chemical peels use controlled acidic solutions to gently exfoliate the upper layers of the skin. As the treated skin renews, it becomes smoother, brighter and more refined. This treatment is suitable for patients who want clearer skin, reduced pigmentation and a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
What Conditions Can Be Treated
The procedure is suitable for both men and women.
What Is Involved in a Chemical Peel Treatment
Your skin will be cleansed thoroughly before the peel is applied. The chemical peel remains on the skin for a controlled duration depending on the strength of the formulation. The face is then neutralised and moisturised.
Most patients experience mild tingling during the procedure. Redness may be present for a short period and sun protection is essential. Your doctor will provide detailed aftercare instructions during the consultation.

What types of chemical peels are available in Malaysia?
Medical-grade chemical peels in Malaysia are categorised by depth: Superficial peels (glycolic acid 20–50%, lactic acid, salicylic acid 20–30%) address mild pigmentation, congestion, and dullness with no downtime. Medium peels (TCA 20–35%, Jessner's solution) treat moderate pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines with 5–7 days of visible peeling. Deep peels (phenol, high TCA) are reserved for severe photoageing and are performed under medical supervision with longer recovery. Your skin condition determines the appropriate peel depth.
Is a medical-grade chemical peel different from a spa facial peel?
Yes, significantly. Spa or salon peels use low concentrations of AHAs (typically under 10%) that have minimal penetration depth and produce surface-level effects. Medical-grade peels at clinics use higher concentrations, often combination solutions, and are performed by trained doctors who can customise the treatment for your specific skin concerns, pigmentation type, and skin tone. Medical peels produce more visible, clinically significant results with appropriately managed downtime.
How much downtime is involved after a medical chemical peel?
Downtime depends on peel depth. Superficial peels: mild redness for 24–48 hours, no visible flaking. Medium peels (TCA): skin begins to darken and peel from days 3–7, with new skin revealed after 7–10 days. Proper sun protection is crucial during healing. Deep peels: 1–2 weeks of significant recovery with medical supervision. Most patients prefer superficial-to-medium peels for manageable downtime balanced with visible results.
How many chemical peel sessions are needed for pigmentation?
For mild pigmentation and skin brightening, 3–6 monthly superficial peel sessions produce progressive improvement. Moderate pigmentation (melasma, PIH) may need 4–8 sessions combined with medical-grade homecare. Medium-depth TCA peels can achieve significant improvement in 1–3 sessions. Results accumulate over the treatment course, and ongoing sun protection is essential to maintain outcomes and prevent pigmentation from recurring.
How much does a medical chemical peel cost in Malaysia?
Medical-grade chemical peel costs in Malaysia range from RM200–RM800 per session for superficial-to-medium peels, depending on the peel type and clinic. The Vivardi Clinics medical peel protocol includes a pre-peel consultation, skin preparation, the peel procedure, post-peel care guidance, and homecare recommendations.
