Aqua Peel vs. LHALA-Peel vs. PLA Peel

Old dead skin cells, sebum, and impurities accumulated on the skin surface can make the skin texture rough and the tone dull over time.
This is when peeling treatments become necessary.

Recently, instead of strong chemical peels, a variety of gentle and low-irritation peeling procedures have been developed to suit different skin types.
Among them, we will compare the characteristics, effects, and recommended skin types of Aqua Peel, LHALA-Peel, and PLA Peel.

Aqua Peel

What Is Aqua Peel?

As the name “Aqua (water) + Peel (exfoliation)” suggests, Aqua Peel is a hydrating peeling treatment that uses water pressure and suction technology to gently remove dead skin cells, sebum, and impurities.
By applying peeling solutions containing AHA, BHA, etc., it dissolves and extracts waste from the pores, finishing with a hydrating and soothing solution to minimize irritation.

LHALA-Peel

What Is LHALA-Peel?

LHALA-Fill is a fourth-generation low-irritation peeling treatment that combines LHA (Lipohydroxy Acid) with alkaline ingredients.
Rather than simply removing dead skin, it strengthens the skin barrier and promotes collagen production a smart peeling solution.

PLA Peel

What Is PLA Peel?

PLA Peel combines LHA and PHA ingredients to gently induce natural exfoliation.
Its mildly alkaline formulation helps improve the skin barrier and enhance moisture retention.
Some clinics also combine it with Platinum PTT (Platinum Photothermal Therapy) for programs targeting pore and pigmentation improvement.

Main Benefits

Effect	Description
Natural exfoliation	Gently removes dead skin cells with LHA and PHA
Skin barrier strengthening	Restores the lipid barrier and forms a protective layer
