LaLa Peel in Bongdam: Is the Stinging and Redness Normal?

The stinging and warmth felt during LaLa Peel, and the temporary redness after the treatment, are common reactions that usually settle within a few hours to a day or two. However, irritant dermatitis or pigmentation changes can rarely occur, so before your LaLa Peel in Bongdam, it's best to let us know about any cosmetics you've recently used and skin procedures you've had. Knowing the difference between common reactions and ones that need an exam can make it less stressful to watch your skin change afterward.

• During the treatment, you may feel stinging, burning, or itching.
• After the treatment, redness, tightness, and light flaking can occur, and the degree varies from person to person.
• If redness lasts for several days, or blisters or oozing occur, you should contact us right away.

What Kind of Peel Is LaLa Peel?

LaLa Peel is a treatment that uses a peeling agent combining an exfoliating ingredient called LHA with an alkaline component. It's used to help clear old dead skin from the surface and smooth out skin texture.

The time and amount of the peeling agent applied are adjusted based on your skin's thickness and sensitivity. Since it's an ingredient that acts on the skin, reactions can occur depending on your skin's condition.

The treatment takes around an hour, and you can return to your daily activities right afterward. However, on days when your skin is more sensitive, reactions can be stronger, so the treatment is carried out based on your skin's condition that day.

What Are the Common Reactions During and Right After the Treatment?

While the peeling agent is applied, your skin may feel stinging, burning, or itchy. How much you feel it varies with skin thickness and sensitivity, and if it becomes hard to bear, let us know right away and we'll adjust the time.

After the treatment, your face may become red, or feel tight and dry. Thin flakes of dead skin may lightly lift over the next few days — don't pick at them with your hands; they'll naturally resolve with moisturizer.

Redness is usually most noticeable right after the treatment and fades as time passes. If you have the treatment in the evening, the redness will often have settled quite a bit by the next morning, which can ease the burden on your schedule.

What Rare Side Effects Can Occur?

In rare cases, the skin can overreact to the peeling ingredients, causing irritant dermatitis with redness and itching that lasts for several days. There are also cases where an allergic reaction to the ingredients causes hives or swelling.

• Redness or stinging continues for more than a few days.
• Blisters form, or oozing occurs.
• The treated area turns dark in color.
• Cold sores reappear around your lips.

After a peel, your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight, and a lot of UV exposure can cause pigmentation; and if you often get cold sores, they can flare up again after the treatment. If you notice changes like these, you should contact us right away for an exam.

What Should I Do Before and After the Treatment to Reduce Reactions?

It's best to pause using retinol, exfoliating products, and scrubs a few days before the treatment. Also adjust any facial waxing or laser appointments so they don't overlap with the treatment date.

After the treatment, apply plenty of gentle moisturizer and be sure to use sunscreen. On the day of treatment, avoid saunas, hot baths, and workouts that make you sweat heavily, and don't rub or pick at any flaking skin.

It's best not to try new cosmetics for a few days after the treatment. Using gentle products that have suited you well before makes it easier to identify the cause if a reaction occurs.

What to Tell Us Before Your LaLa Peel Consultation in Bongdam

If you're looking into LaLa Peel in Bongdam, organize the information below before your consultation. Whether and how the treatment is done is decided after our medical staff checks your skin's condition.

• Note any laser, peel, or waxing treatments you've had in the past two weeks.
• Check whether you're using products that can make your skin more sensitive, like retinol or acne medication.

FAQ

Q. If my skin doesn't flake, does that mean it didn't work?

A. How much flaking occurs doesn't necessarily correspond to how much your skin has changed. Depending on your skin condition, you may see barely any flaking at all.

Q. How much should I avoid the sun after the treatment?

A. Your skin can be more sensitive to the sun for a few days after the treatment, so it's best to apply sunscreen carefully and cut back on midday outdoor activity.

Q. Can I get this treatment if I have sensitive skin?

A. It's decided based on your skin's condition. If there's severe skin inflammation at the time, we may postpone the treatment until it settles down.

Q. What should I do if redness is still there after several days?

A. It usually settles within a day or two, so if it lasts more than a few days, please contact us to have your skin checked.

Q. What should I do if the stinging is too intense during the treatment?

A. Please don't try to bear with it — tell us right away. We can adjust by shortening the time the peeling agent is left on or moving on to the calming step.
