Chemical Peels in Seongsu, Seoul
LaLa peel, Black peel and Aqua peel: gentle resurfacing chosen for your skin
Chemical peels help the skin renew its surface more evenly. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, the peel menu is built around three options, each with a different purpose, so the peel can match your skin rather than push it harder than it needs.
What is a chemical peel?
A peel applies an active solution to the skin that loosens the bonds between dead surface cells. As those cells shed, fresher skin is revealed, and the process can also help unclog pores, soften rough texture, and even out tone.
Peels range from very light to deep. Deeper peels can do more but carry more downtime and a higher risk of irritation or pigmentation, particularly in Asian and darker skin types. The clinic focuses on gentler, well-controlled peels that can be repeated safely.
How we approach chemical peels at Seongsu Melting Clinic
The peel menu includes:
- LaLa peel: a newer-generation peel that combines exfoliation with regeneration-focused care, designed to renew the surface with relatively little irritation
- Black peel: a peel based on fermented black rice vinegar, used to manage excess sebum, dead skin buildup, and dullness
- Aqua peel: a three-step cleansing and exfoliating treatment that clears sebum, dead skin, and blackheads
Dr. Park considers your skin type, oiliness, sensitivity, and any pigmentation before choosing. Oily, congested skin may do well with the Black peel or Aqua peel. Dull, uneven, or tired-looking skin may suit the LaLa peel. Peels can also be combined with boosters or laser toning as part of a broader plan. All skincare is done in private one-person rooms.
A good fit if…
- Your skin looks dull, rough, or uneven
- You have oily skin with clogged pores
- You want a fresh look with little downtime
- You want a maintenance treatment between other procedures
Consider something else if…
- You are using isotretinoin or have used it recently
- You have active cold sores, infection, or broken skin in the area
- You have very sensitive skin or an active skin condition such as eczema flare
- You have recently had significant sun exposure or a sunburn
What to expect
After a quick skin check, your peel is done in a private room. Most peels feel like tingling or mild warmth for a few minutes before being neutralized or removed.
Afterward, skin may look slightly pink. Depending on the peel, you might notice light flaking for a few days. Most people return to normal activities right away. Peels tend to work better as a series spaced a few weeks apart. Pricing is explained at consultation.
Aftercare
- Use a gentle cleanser and plain moisturizer
- Apply sunscreen every day and avoid strong sun
- Do not peel or pick at flaking skin
- Pause retinoids, acids, and scrubs for several days
- Avoid saunas and hot yoga for a day or two
A note from Dr. Park
Dr. Park often tells patients that he prefers to explain what each step will feel like before it starts, and to keep talking during treatment. With peels, knowing what tingling is normal, and what is not, makes the whole experience calmer and safer.
