What is LHALA Peel?

The LHALA Peel is a mild peel that uses LHA — an oil-loving acid — to gently clear sebum and built-up dead skin from inside the pores. This peel sinks into clogged pores and loosens buildup rather than irritating the skin. Downtime is short, and texture and tone tend to refine step by step when sessions are repeated at suitable intervals. Like washing greasy dishes — instead of scrubbing hard, dish soap seeps into the oil and dissolves it away; this peel works the same way, sinking into the oily buildup inside the pores and gently loosening it.

Who it may be considered for

If you have the following skin concerns, LHALA Peel may be considered as information for your reference.

• Sebum production, debris inside the pores, and built-up dead skin cells are a concern
• The skin is acne-prone or breakout-prone and the aim is to smooth the skin texture gently
• The skin feels dull and rough because of dead skin cells
• The skin is dry or lacklustre and improvement in hydration is desired alongside peeling
• A peel with relatively little skin irritation and downtime is preferred over strong resurfacing

LHALA Peel is a peeling treatment that refines dead skin cells and debris on the skin surface while also aiming to improve the skin's hydration and smoothness. As skin irritation and recovery burden are relatively low compared with strong resurfacing, it may be considered when the aim is gentle care of skin texture and tone.

Application to areas other than the face, such as keratosis pilaris (the rough, bumpy texture on the arms and legs), may also be considered; however, the treatment method and number of sessions may differ according to the area and extent, so eligibility is confirmed through consultation. Changes in skin texture, dead skin cells, and hydration are generally not completed in a single session, and gradual improvement can be expected when care is repeated according to the skin condition.

Which configuration suits your skin is decided in consultation with the medical team after assessing sebum, pores, dead skin cells, and other skin conditions with diagnostic equipment. Treatment may be restricted during pregnancy, when there is active infection in the treatment area (such as inflamed lesions or herpes), or in areas that have recently undergone semi-permanent (pigment) procedures, so please refer to the precautions for details.

What happens at the visit

A full LHALA Peel session at REPIC proceeds step by step:

1. Cleansing and a skin check.

2. The first peeling solution applied evenly with a dedicated brush for about 5 minutes.

3. Gentle removal with a sponge.

4. A second peeling solution applied with a cotton swab, combined with LED.

5. A water-based wipe-down to rinse away any leftover product.

Safety and aftercare

Treatment may be restricted during pregnancy, or when there is active skin disease, infection, inflammation, a herpes lesion, or an open wound in the treatment area. Prior confirmation is also required after recent strong sun exposure or after other procedures such as peels, lasers, or waxing.

If you are using topical vitamin A derivatives such as tretinoin, retinol, or adapalene, please be sure to inform the medical team before treatment; depending on the skin condition, use may need to be stopped for a period before treatment. Please also let us know separately if you are taking or have recently taken an oral retinoid such as isotretinoin.

If semi-permanent makeup has recently been applied in the treatment area, the pigment may fade or be affected, so that area may be avoided or the timing of treatment adjusted. Please also inform the medical team in advance about current medication, allergies, underlying conditions, and recent skin procedures.

Whether treatment can be performed and how it is applied may differ according to the individual's skin condition and history of previous procedures and medication use, and is determined after medical consultation.
