LHALA Peel 4th-Generation Barrier Renewal

Fourth-generation LHA, P-Sol™, and lipid-complex "peel-and-fill" barrier renewal treatment that gently clears pore buildup and strengthens sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Treatment Overview & Clinical Mechanism

LHALA Peel 4th-Generation Barrier Renewal is a low-irritation "peel-and-fill" dermatological treatment in our Acne, Scar & Redness Treatment suite. Developed around Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA), patented alkaline P-Sol™ (derived from olive and coconut fermentation oils), and an epidermal Lipid complex, LHALA Peel mimics the natural skin pH (~5.5) to remodel the stratum corneum without harsh acid stripping.

Because LHA possesses a larger molecular structure and lipophilic affinity, it penetrates slowly along sebaceous follicles to loosen corneodesmosomes while P-Sol™ stimulates dermal fibroblasts and collagen matrix synthesis. Simultaneously, the Lipid component acts as a protective biomimetic shield for damaged skin barriers. At ReYeonK Clinic, Dr. Lee Doochan, Dr. Kim Hyunsu, and Dr. Choi Hyunho utilize LHALA Peel both as a standalone acne/glow treatment and as a safe preparatory step before energy-based lifting.

LHALA Bubble Cleansing: Deep pore purification using dedicated micro-bubble LHA cleanser and brush application.

Post-Treatment Care & Clinical Safety Notice

Maintain consistent hydration with a mild moisturizer and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily.
Avoid harsh exfoliating scrubs, retinol products, and high-heat saunas for 2 to 3 days after your session.
Use lukewarm water rather than hot water when washing your face during the first 48 hours.

Individual results vary depending on skin phototype, barrier sensitivity, and anatomical factors. Potential temporary side effects include localized erythema (redness), mild swelling, bruising, transient dryness or flaking, pigmentary shifts, or rare infection/vascular complications, which require proper post-treatment care and physician guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is LHALA Peel called a 4th-generation "peel-and-fill" treatment?

Unlike 1st- to 3rd-generation AHA/BHA peels that only strip the outer cornea, LHALA Peel gently dissolves dead cells with LHA while replenishing the barrier with Lipids and stimulating dermal remodeling with P-Sol™.

Q. Can I combine LHALA Peel with pigment lasers or skin boosters?

Yes. Because it preserves the epidermal barrier, LHALA Peel pairs well with Clarity Toning, Vascular Care & Synergy MPX Hair Removal or Rejuran Healer. Visit Contact Us to book your consultation.
