LHALA Doctor: Treatment Process
Treatment Process
01
Examination
The doctor will assess dryness, dullness, how easily your skin peels, and your history of peeling treatments. We will explain the area to be treated with LHALA Doctor and the approximate contact time for the solution. We will answer your questions and explain what to expect on the day and the precautions to follow at home.
02
Cleansing
We will remove makeup, sunscreen, and oil to help the solution spread evenly. We will check areas that may be sensitive to irritation, such as around the eyes and mouth and the sides of the nose. If you feel any discomfort or have concerns, we will address them at this stage as we proceed.
03
Application
We will apply the LHALA Doctor solution area by area and adjust the contact time while monitoring redness and irritation. We will also decide when to wipe it off based on your skin's response.
04
Finishing care
We will wipe off the solution, moisturize, and soothe the skin. We will apply a protective product to areas prone to dryness and check the degree of redness and stinging immediately after treatment. We will also explain which symptoms to watch for at home.
05
Aftercare instructions
We will advise you to avoid rubbing the skin on the day of treatment and to continue moisturizing and protecting it from the sun. As peeling, dryness, or redness may occur, we will also explain when to resume peeling products and scrubs. We will address any remaining questions along with your next appointment and when to seek medical attention.

FAQ
Pain and stinging are generally mild. Depending on your skin condition, you may feel slight irritation, but the sensation is similar to a massage and allows you to relax. Because it is gentle on the skin, it is also an approachable option for people who dislike pain or are new to aesthetic medicine.
There is almost no downtime. Although this treatment does not forcibly strip the skin's surface, redness, dryness, or mild peeling may occur afterward. Makeup can be applied immediately, but if you plan treatment before an important event, please discuss a schedule that allows enough time.
The main difference is the idea of nurturing the skin rather than peeling it away. Conventional peels dissolve and remove old surface cells with acids. LHALA Doctor uses ingredients such as LHA to condition the skin without excessive exfoliation, aiming for a radiant appearance.
Yes. This gentle treatment can also be recommended for people with sensitive skin or those whose skin has not tolerated peels in the past. It delivers active ingredients gently while protecting the skin's barrier function. However, we may postpone treatment depending on your skin condition, such as when symptoms of atopic dermatitis are severe, so please discuss this during a consultation first.
For more noticeable results, we recommend starting with around 5 sessions at a rate of 1 treatment every 1–2 weeks. After that, continuing with 1 treatment a month is ideal for maintaining your skin in good condition.
