About lactic acid peeling
“Lactic acid” has a large molecular weight and is considered to be an acid that is gentle on the skin.
Since lactic acid itself has a whitening effect, it is also recommended as a treatment for age spots.

“Lactic acid” is used as a skin-friendly AHA for people with weak skin and those who do not like glycolic acid. Regarding the effect of exfoliating, it may not be enough for acne treatment, but since the chemical peeling of “lactic acid” is a burden on the skin, it is possible to increase the number of times by narrowing the interval of peeling. Considering two points, it is a treatment method that is sufficiently effective for “adult acne”.
Glycolic acid can be used to remove dead skin cells, and lactic acid can be used to improve the pigmentation of acne scars. After treatment with glycolic acid, lactic acid can be peeled.

よくある質問
- Chemical peeling is a treatment that improves skin texture as well as resolving all kinds of skin problems such as acne, dullness, open pores, prevention of skin aging, and improvement of moisture retention. Healthy skin cells are renewed in a 28-day cycle (turnover). When this turnover cycle is disrupted by UV rays, stress, aging, and other factors, various problems such as acne, dullness, fine lines, and dryness occur. Chemical peeling removes dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and restores normal skin turnover.
- Acne is said to begin when pores become clogged for some reason. Chemical peels not only peel the skin, but also clean the pores. The effect of cleaning the pores improves not only the current acne but also the white, clogged pores that will occur in the future, and prevents the formation of red pimples.
- When old keratin is removed by chemical peeling, skin metabolism is activated and new cells are produced. Regular chemical peels are effective for all kinds of skin problems such as acne, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, and dryness, as the skin is replaced with new skin.
- There is a slight tingling and itching sensation when the peeling agent is applied, but it is not a strong pain or itching.
- Some patients may feel a little flakiness for 1 to 3 days after the treatment, so it is recommended to keep the skin well moisturized. Also, since the skin is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, we recommend the use of sunscreen.
- Treatment time is about 30-40 minutes, including counseling. The interval between treatments should be about once every three weeks.
