LHALA Peel Hobart

If your skin is prone to irritation, redness, or sensitivity, traditional chemical peels can feel too harsh. That’s where the LHA Peel—also known as the LALA Peel—offers a refreshing alternative. Developed in South Korea and now available at Heart Aesthetics Hobart, this treatment is designed for those who want the benefits of exfoliation without inflammation.

The LHA Peel Hobart uses Lipo-Hydroxy Acid, a derivative of salicylic acid that absorbs slowly and acts gently, supporting your skin’s natural balance. This makes it ideal for those dealing with acne, rosacea, early signs of ageing, or simply looking for low-maintenance skin renewal in Tasmania’s often dry and windy climate.

We offer the LHA Peel as a standalone treatment or as part of our popular Glass Skin Facial, a service designed to achieve smooth, luminous skin without redness or flaking.

What Makes the LHA Peel Unique?

Unlike conventional peels that cause flaking and irritation, the LHA Peel uses a slow-release, pH-balanced exfoliant that works with your skin—not against it. Its primary ingredient, Lipo-Hydroxy Acid, has a pH of 5.5, which is nearly identical to healthy skin. This reduces inflammation and preserves the skin barrier while still promoting healthy cell turnover.

Unlike glycolic or salicylic acids that aggressively strip the skin, the LHA Peel gently resurfaces without causing visible peeling. It improves texture, unclogs pores, and calms breakouts, all while preserving hydration. It’s especially useful for clients with a compromised skin barrier or a history of reacting to traditional acids.

LHA’s structure is larger than standard BHAs, allowing it to penetrate slowly and evenly. This prevents sudden flare-ups and minimises the risk of side effects. It’s a favourite for clients wanting to refine their complexion without discomfort.

Key Benefits of the LHA Peel

1. Gentle Exfoliation Without Peeling:

Most peels work by chemically removing the upper layers of skin. The LHA Peel works differently. It encourages natural cell turnover without trauma. This means no visible peeling, redness, or downtime.

2. Suitable for Sensitive Skin:

Its pH-balanced formula makes it a safe choice for rosacea, hormonal acne, or clients experiencing dryness from Tasmania’s climate. Lipo-Hydroxy Acid targets clogged pores and dullness while maintaining comfort.

3. Treats Acne and Congestion:

LHA is comedolytic, meaning it breaks down blockages in the pores. It clears whiteheads, blackheads, and mild acne without over-drying the skin. It also regulates oil production over time.

4. Boosts Hydration and Elasticity:

The peel includes lipids from coconut and olive oils that help support your skin barrier. This makes it particularly beneficial during colder months or for those with chronically dry skin.

5. Fights Early Signs of Ageing:

By stimulating cell turnover and collagen synthesis without inflammation, LHA Peels reduce the appearance of fine lines and help restore firmness.

6. Balances Oil Production:

For oily or combination skin types, the LHA Peel helps regulate sebum without stripping the skin’s protective layers. This promotes a clearer, more balanced complexion.

Who Should Consider the LHA Peel?

The LHA Peel suits all skin types but is particularly ideal for:

• Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin
• Clients reacting poorly to glycolic or lactic peels
• Individuals with hormonal or inflammatory acne
• Dull, dry, or uneven skin tone

Those needing a gentle reset between stronger treatments

Because of its gentle profile, this peel is often recommended for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. Whether you're new to cosmetic therapies or experienced with peels, the LHA Peel offers a low-risk, high-reward treatment suitable for most people in Hobart's variable climate.

LHA Peel vs Traditional Chemical Peels

Most chemical peels rely on a sharp pH drop to exfoliate and trigger skin renewal. While effective, these can cause redness, dryness, and barrier disruption, especially in cooler climates like Tasmania.

In contrast, the LHA Peel maintains a skin-friendly pH and works gradually. Its slow absorption prevents irritation and allows for even, controlled treatment. Traditional peels might be suitable for deeper concerns like scarring or pigmentation, but for clients seeking regular maintenance or prevention, LHA Peels offer a more sustainable approach.

How Often Should You Have an LHA Peel?

For most clients, an initial series of 3–6 treatments spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart is ideal for achieving visible results. This helps reset the skin, clear congestion, and refine texture without overwhelming it.

After the initial phase, maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks are recommended. These keep the skin balanced and help counteract environmental stressors, such as windburn, indoor heating, or UV exposure common in Tasmania.

For special occasions—like weddings, photo shoots, or events—we suggest booking an LHA Peel 2–3 weeks beforehand to allow your skin to settle and reveal its full glow.

Combining the LHA Peel with Other Treatments

At Heart Aesthetics Hobart, we often pair the LHA Peel with skin needling or anti-wrinkle injections for a customised treatment plan. Because it doesn’t compromise the skin barrier, it can be layered into more comprehensive routines without risk of overstimulation.

The LHA Peel also helps maintain skin comfort between more intensive treatments, making it perfect for ongoing skin health support.

What to Expect During and After an LHA Peel

Your skin will be cleansed and prepped before a fine layer of the LHA formula is applied. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling, but the sensation is brief and very tolerable. The peel is then neutralised and followed by soothing serums and SPF.

Afterwards, skin may appear slightly dewy or flushed, but there is no peeling or redness. Makeup can be worn immediately, making it a truly no-downtime treatment.

Post-treatment, we recommend:

• Avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, and AHAs for 3–5 days
• Using a gentle cleanser and barrier-repairing moisturiser
• Wearing SPF daily, even when it’s cloudy

LHA Peel Hobart FAQs

Is the LHA Peel good for acne-prone skin?

Yes. Its comedolytic and anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for clearing pores and calming breakouts.

Will my skin peel afterwards?

No. Despite its name, the LHA Peel doesn’t cause visible flaking or dryness.

Can I have this peel if I have rosacea or eczema?

In most cases, yes. Its mild formula and pH-neutral approach make it safer than traditional peels. A consultation will confirm suitability.

How long until I see results?

Many clients report brighter, smoother skin after just one session. More significant changes occur with consistent treatments.

Can I have the LHA Peel while pregnant?

It’s best to consult your healthcare provider. While Lipo-Hydroxy Acid is gentle, we tailor treatments conservatively during pregnancy.
