Hello!
This is Dr. Jeong Bo-hwang of Cleor Clinic Gangnam. 😊
"I searched for Gangnam peeling, but there are so many types that I don't know which one to choose."
"Isn't all peeling the same? Can I just go anywhere?"
I've become interested in peeling, but
I'm not sure what the difference is between LHA LALA Peel, Pumpkin Peel, and Black Peel,
and it's hard to decide which one is right for my skin, right?
In fact, the three peels are similar in name only,
and their working principles, suitable skin types, and expected
effects are completely different.
Today, for those who are considering Gangnam peeling,
we will provide an honest and meticulous comparison so that you can make a wise choice based on accurate information.
What is peeling?
Peeling is a procedure that removes dead skin cells and
impurities from the skin surface and promotes new skin cell regeneration.
However, not all peels work in the same way.
Broadly speaking, it can be divided into "exfoliating peels" and
"filling peels," and LHA LALA Peel, Pumpkin Peel, and Black Peel are each located at different points on this spectrum.
Let's take a look at these three, which have been steadily popular in the Gangnam peeling market.
LHA LALA Peel, Pumpkin Peel, Black Peel
: What kind of peeling is each?
LHA LALA Peel — "Filling Peel"
Many people think of peeling as
scraping off the skin, but
LHA LALA Peel is not such a procedure.
The active ingredients slowly penetrate into the skin to
normalize the skin's exfoliation cycle (turnover) and
work on the principle of strengthening the skin barrier.
Unlike existing strong acidic peels, there is little to no flaking
or redness of the skin, and
there is little to no concern about side effects such as thinning or
sensitization of the skin even if you receive it once a week.
The key is to adjust the procedure cycle according to your skin condition.
If you have an important event or photoshoot,
the procedure is most effective 3 to 5 days before.
It is wiser to adjust the cycle to suit your skin's signals rather than simply opting for a "10-session package."
Pumpkin Peel — "Moisturizing Peel"
"My skin actually became more moisturized after the peeling."
This is what people say most often when they receive Pumpkin Peel for the first time.
Pumpkin Peel, which uses Pumpkin Enzyme as its main ingredient,
works by selectively and gently dissolving dead skin cells with natural enzymes.
Because it does not forcibly weaken the epidermal layer like existing AHA and BHA chemical peels,
the risk of skin barrier damage is low.
Because it dissolves dead skin cells while also helping to soothe, moisturize, and regenerate,
you will experience a moisturized and revitalized skin texture instead of dryness or sensitivity after the procedure.
That's why I especially recommend it to those who are experiencing Gangnam peeling for the first time.
It is especially suitable for these people:
Those who have a lot of dead skin cells but are afraid of peeling and have a history of breakouts
Those who are concerned that their dry skin will become even drier after peeling
Those whose skin becomes rough every change of season
Those whose makeup keeps flaking
However, even if it is low-irritant, it is effective to adjust the concentration and time according to the skin condition.
Black Peel — "Resetting Peel"
Black Peel is a natural peeling procedure that uses black vinegar as its main ingredient.
The powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of black vinegar and
salicylic acid effectively remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin.
It may feel like a strong procedure because of its name, but
because it is made of naturally derived ingredients, it is less irritating than other
chemical peels and can be applied relatively safely to sensitive skin.
You may experience some redness after the procedure, but
it usually subsides quickly and does not significantly interfere with your daily life.
Even in Gangnam peeling clinics, Black Peel is
a procedure that is consistently loved by those who want to "reset their skin from scratch."
Concerns that Black Peel is particularly effective for:
Troubled skin such as acne, milia, and whiteheads
Pigmentation and dull skin tone such as blemishes and freckles
Skin with a broken oil-moisture balance due to excessive sebum
Rough skin texture where makeup keeps flaking
What is the procedure like?
Step 1 — Skin Consultation and Analysis
Dr. Jeong Bo-hwang directly checks the skin condition and
designs the most suitable procedure, concentration, and range among the three peels.
We carefully check your skin type, areas of concern, and procedure history.
Step 2 — Cleansing and Pre-treatment
After thoroughly removing makeup, sebum, and impurities,
we prepare the skin so that the peeling ingredients can be absorbed evenly.
Step 3 — Peeling Application
The selected peeling solution is applied evenly to the entire face or
areas of concern.
You can expect a swelling-relieving effect with meticulous
handling that considers the direction of lymphatic circulation.
Step 4 — Neutralization and Removal
After a certain amount of time, the
peeling ingredients are safely neutralized and removed using a neutralizer.
Step 5 — Soothing Care and Finishing
To minimize skin irritation after the procedure,
we finish by applying a soothing mask and moisturizing products.
The entire procedure takes about 30 to 50 minutes,
and you can return to your daily life immediately after all three procedures.
Precautions before and after peeling
- Before the procedure
Stop using strong exfoliants and retinol 1-2 weeks before the procedure
Avoid excessive sun exposure on the day of the procedure
Be sure to inform us in advance if you have any skin injuries or are pregnant or breastfeeding
- After the procedure
Avoid strong friction, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 2-3 days
Apply sunscreen thoroughly (SPF 50+ recommended) — the most important care after Gangnam peeling
Adhere to the prescribed moisturizer and soothing products
Contact the clinic immediately if you experience any abnormal reactions
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Does the result of Gangnam peeling vary from hospital to hospital?
A. Even with the same name of peeling, the product line used,
concentration, handling method, and pre- and post-care may vary from hospital to hospital.
If you are considering Gangnam peeling, be sure to check the ingredients and procedure process.
Q. Doesn't LHA LALA Peel thin the skin if you get it often?
A. LHA LALA Peel does not scrape off the skin,
but rather fills the skin with active ingredients,
so you don't have to worry about side effects such as thinning or
sensitization of the skin even if you receive it once a week.
However, it is best to increase the cycle after the intensive care period for efficient management.
Q. Can sensitive skin also receive Pumpkin Peel?
A. Yes, it is suitable for sensitive and dry skin because it is designed with a low-irritant formula centered on natural enzymes.
However, it is important to have a consultation in advance as the concentration and time must be adjusted according to the skin condition.
Q. Is Black Peel as irritating as its name suggests?
A. No. The main ingredient of Black Peel is black vinegar,
which is based on naturally derived ingredients and is less irritating than other chemical peels.
It can be applied relatively safely to sensitive skin.
Q. How do I know which of the three peels is right for me?
A. It depends on your skin type and main concerns.
If you are concerned about skin texture and radiance,
consider LHA LALA Peel,
if you are concerned about dead skin cells + dryness at the same time,
consider Pumpkin Peel,
and if you are concerned about breakouts, dullness, and sebum,
consider Black Peel first.
The most accurate choice is to decide after a consultation following a skin diagnosis.
LHA LALA Peel, Pumpkin Peel, and Black Peel are similar in name, but
their working principles and suitable skin types are clearly different.
When considering Gangnam peeling, the most important thing is not to choose a trendy procedure,
but to choose a procedure that your skin needs now.
Cleor Clinic Gangnam carefully analyzes your skin condition and
designs the safest and most effective peeling plan with you.
We welcome both those who are new to peeling and those who have had procedures elsewhere before.
