Everything You Need to Know About LHA LALA Peel: The Latest Korean and Japanese Glass Skin Solution



If you're on the lookout for the latest skincare craze, look no further than the LHA Peel.

Hailing from South Korea, this innovative treatment has taken the K-beauty & J-Beauty world by storm as the ultimate shortcut to achieving that coveted glass skin look✨


But what exactly is it, and how does it work? Read on to find out everything you need to know about the LHA Peel and why it's quickly becoming a must-try during everyone's facial salon visits.

LHA Peel, also known as LALA Peel, is a revolutionary treatment that focuses on nurturing your skin from within. Unlike traditional peeling methods that strip away skin layers, LALA Peel helps promote the skin's natural renewal process by delivering active ingredients deep into the skin, where they work to boost hyaluronic acid and collagen production, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.


Inspired by the glowing reviews from my esthetician friends in Japan, I decided to experience the LHA Peel Glass Skin Facial firsthand during my last visit in Tokyo 🇯🇵

And I'm thrilled to report that the results were nothing short of amazing! The treatment left my skin looking radiant from within for days, which is significant coming from someone like me, a skincare geek obsessed with achieving glass skin for years. The LHA Peel treatment stood out from any other treatments I had tried before, and I was instantly captivated by the results. Driven by my enthusiasm, I promptly signed up for a training program, eager to incorporate LALA Peel into my facial services.

I was fortunate enough to be in Tokyo at the right time, where I had the opportunity to take a one-on-one course with Miho, my esthetician friend and a certified LALA Peel instructor from BEIGE BEAUTY in Kumamoto.


Now, I'm excited to share the benefits of LHA Peel with my clients, helping them achieve the same glowing complexion I've come to love!

#1: What is LHA LALA Peel?


What sets LHA Peel apart from other treatment is its unique approach, prioritizing gentle and natural rejuvenation. Unlike conventional peels which thinned the skin by exfoliating the surface, LALA Peel focuses not only on exfoliation, but also on filling the skin with nourishing ingredients.


This latest innovation in peeling treatments works from the inside out, using gentle exfoliation method to break down unnecessary dead skin cells and melanin buildup, reducing excess sebum and tightening the pores, while simultaneously delivering beneficial ingredients deep into the skin. This unique approach aims to create plump, healthy, radiant skin.


LHA LALA Peel is suitable for a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin, and addresses common concerns, including:


Dehydration/Dry skin

Hyperpigmentation

Dullness

Redness

Enlarged Pores

Acne

Fine Lines

Loss of Elasticity



With its ability to create a glass skin complexion without any downtime or irritation, it's no wonder that LHA Peel has become a popular choice for those seeking a more gentle yet effective way to achieve their skin goals ✨

#2: LHA LALA Peel's 3 Key Ingredients


LALA Peel is a unique formulation combining three key ingredients: Lipohydroxy Acid (LHA), P-sol, and Lipids. Let's take a closer look at each component and their individual effects and roles:


  1. LHA (Lipohydroxy Acid)

    LHA is a new, innovative oil-soluble acid developed by L'Oreal. LHA is a derivative of popular Salicylic Acid (BHA). Compared to the well-known Salicylic Acid, LHA has a larger molecular size and a fatty acid structure, allowing it to penetrate the skin at a slower rate. This results in a a gentler and more tolerable experience, setting it apart from other acids on the market. Moreover, LHA pH level is 5.5 (mild acidic), which is the same as our skin's natural pH level. This means that unlike other peels, you won't experience the tingling sensation or discomfort commonly associated with such treatments, making it a perfect choice for any skin types, including sensitive skin.


    Additionally, LHA is recognized for its anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and comedolytic properties. Comedolytic means it helps reduce blackheads and blemishes by regulating oil production and stopping sebum from getting trapped in the pores, thus keeping breakouts and blackheads at bay.


    Furthermore, LHA is known for its ability to penetrate the skin slowly but deeply, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells. By gently dissolving unnecessary dead skin cells, LHA promotes skin cell regeneration that closely resembles the natural skin renewal process. This gentle exfoliating action reduces irritation while leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and healthier.


  2. P-sol: This alkaline component, sourced from natural plant oils such as olive and coconut, is formulated using patented Korean technology. P-sol stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, all of which are essential for a plump, youthful skin.


    P-sol also protects the skin's surface and generates a barrier of proteins and lipids, reducing potential irritating side effects from the exfoliation process.


  3. Lipids: These fatty compounds are similar to the skin's natural lipids and help protect and repair the skin barrier. When combined with exfoliating ingredient like LHA, they help reduce irritation and downtime, ensuring a gentler, comfortable experience.


Together, these 3 ingredients work synergistically to provide a comprehensive skincare solution for healthy, nourished, and rejuvenated Glass Skin.

#3: What to Expect During a LHA LALA Peel, Glass Skin Facial in Tokyo?


So, are you excited to experience the coveted glass skin glow with the LALA Peel? While some salons and clinics may offer the LHA peel as a standalone treatment, I've developed a customized facial experience that caters to each client's unique skin concerns by combining the LHA peel with other targeted treatments. This personalized approach ensures that we can achieve the best possible results for you.


Here's what you can look forward to during my LHA Peel Facial at my salon:


Step 1: Cleanse


The treatment starts with thorough cleansing using a special cleanser called Micro-Bubble Cleanser, which also contains LHA components. Micro-Bubble Cleanser helps maximize the peeling effect by balancing the pH level before using LALA Peel.

During the facial, I will use two brushes to gently cleanse your face, creating a calming and relaxing experience. This unique brushing technique not only delivers deep cleansing but also aids in improving lymphatic flow, reducing puffiness and promoting detoxification, preparing your skin for the next steps in the treatment.


The LHA Micro Bubble Cleanser undergoes a fascinating transformation when it comes into contact with the skin. At room temperature, it has a gel-like consistency, but upon touching the skin, it transforms into liquid at body temperature, dissolving deep into the pores. The cleanser then morphs into oxygen bubbles that effectively remove impurities while maintaining the skin's natural balance.


This mildly acidic, gentle bubble cleanser is suitable for all skin types, especially for those who suffer from dryness. Its unique properties make it an excellent choice for achieving a refreshed, clean complexion without stripping away essential skin components.

I highly recommend Micro-Bubble Cleanser for home-use as well!



Step 2: LALA Peel Application


Now, it's time for the star of the show, the LALA Peel!

LALA Peel treatment involves two different solutions. To begin, I'll apply the first solution (LHA Basic) using a special brushing technique that enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.


This method gently exfoliates dead skin cells while nourishing the skin. After a few minutes, the first solution is removed and a second, more potent solution (LHA Ultra) is applied to further boost the treatment's effectiveness. Depending on your skin type, this second solution will be left on for approximately 10 minutes before being removed with a cold cloth.

Step 3: Extraction, if necessary


At this point, I will also perform extractions to remove blackheads and congestion from the pores. LHA Peel treatment helps loosen and open your pores, making the extraction process more effective and efficient.



Step 4: LED Light Therapy

Now that your skin is exfoliated and nutrients are delivered deep into the skin, this is a perfect time for LED light therapy to further stimulate collagen production, heal your skin and energizes the skin cells.



Step 5: Electroporation Serum Infusion


This step is crucial for maximizing the results of the treatment. I will carefully select potent serums tailored to your skin's specific needs. (Vitamin C, Stem Cell Growth Factors, Glutathione, Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, to name a few)

To enhance serum absorption, I will utilize an electroporation device, delivering active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin.


Electroporation is often referred to as "needle-less microneedling," as it uses a specialized electric current to generate temporary microscopic pathways between skin cells, increasing serum absorption.



Step 6: Soothing Mask


To conclude the treatment, a soothing sheet mask called Biome Fit Clear Embo Gel Mask is applied. This mask is specifically designed to complement the LHA Peel treatment and features patented technology that allows it to contain 25g of potent serums within a single sheet. This is an amazing sheet mask to incorporate into your home routine as well, especially when your skin needs more hydration or a boost!


Biome Embo Gel Mask is composed of a hydro-gel infused with active ingredients that react solely to human skin temperature (approx. 36.5°C), gradually releasing the ingredients into the skin. The patented technology ensures that the active ingredients, such as Adenosine, Centalla Asiatica Extract, Ceramide and Niacinamide, penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, even reaching the dermis. Another hero ingredient is Lactobacili, which supports the skin's natural microbiome, promoting overall skin health and balance.

Step 7: Moisturizer Application with Lifting, Relaxing Massage


As with all treatments at my salon, each facial will conclude with a relaxing, lifting and sculpting massage, leaving you feeling fully recharged and refreshed.


⚠️ While the general outline above gives you an idea of what to expect from the LHA LALA Peel facials at Glow by Tomoko, your individual experience will always be customized to address your specific needs for optimal results.

Seeing is believing. Here are some transformative results my clients have experienced after just one LHA LALA Peel treatment:

#5: Takeaway on LHA LALA Peel


LHA LALA Peel is an innovative treatment that goes beyond traditional peels by not only exfoliating the skin but also replenishes the skin with essential nutrients. This cutting-edge peel boosts our skin's natural collagen and hyaluronic acid production, reduces excess oil and prevents breakout and blackheads. It is a comprehensive treatment suitable for any skin types and makes your skin truly glow from within!


As a skincare enthusiast, it's always exciting for me to discover new treatments that elevate my skin's health. LHA LALA Peel was one of them, and I am so excited to share this remarkable treatment with you!


At Glow by Tomoko, I don't just offer the LHA LALA Peel on its own—I combine it with additional targeted treatments like extractions, serum infusions, and light therapy, all of which work together to maximize the peel's effectiveness. By incorporating these supplementary treatments, I ensure that you receive a comprehensive facial and personalized experience that delivers exceptional results.
