Many of you are probably wondering, “Is it okay to get a peel in the summer?” or “Will UV rays have an effect?” Depending on the treatment, there are some peels that are relatively easy to undergo even in the summer. In this article, we’ll introduce three treatment options for the season when UV rays are a concern, along with precautions to take after the procedure.
Lala Peel: Nourishes Your Skin from the Inside Out for a Plump, Radiant Complexion

First, let’s take a closer look at Lala Peel, which helps you achieve plump, radiant skin from within.
Lala Peel is a peeling treatment characterized by its brush technique. At Yayoi Clinic, the treatment is supervised by staff who have honed their skills for over 10 years at major salons.
Lala Peel has the following features:
- Promotes skin renewal from the inside without peeling the skin
- Prevents dryness and leaves your skin feeling supple right away
- Less likely to experience irritation such as a stinging sensation or redness
The reason why we recommend Larapil's exfoliant even during periods of high UV exposure is that,Allows for keratin care that preserves the thickness of the skin's epidermis... Additionally, it contains ingredients that strengthen the skin's barrier function, andLess susceptible to the effects of external stimuli, even in the summerThat is the key point.
Lala Peel is also appealing because it takes peeling and downtime into consideration. I can recommend it to anyone concerned about skin sensitivity.
A massage peel formulated to minimize redness and peeling

The next treatment we’ll introduce is the massage peel, which is suitable even for those concerned about redness or peeling. It’s also effective for aging skin and is recommended for anyone concerned about loss of firmness.
The massage peel has the following three features:
- A massage using special solutions to promote skin renewal
- Supports collagen production and enhances skin elasticity and firmness
- Kojic acid helps brighten the appearance of the skin
The active ingredient "PRX-T33" used in massage peels isA treatment that’s relatively easy to undergo even during the season when UV rays are a concernThat's right. Also, because the outer layer of the epidermis is difficult to peel off,Treatments that help maintain the skin's barrier functionThat is also an advantage.
With the Massage Peel, you can even apply makeup and head home right after the treatment. It’s designed with minimal downtime in mind, making it ideal for those who are sensitive to pain.
HydraFacial Using a Water Peeling Device

Unlike the two peels mentioned above, the third HydraFacial treatment uses a water peeling device designed exclusively for medical facilities. Since it is effective for pore care, it is ideal for those concerned about blackheads on the sides of the nose or rough skin on the chin.
The notable features of HydraFacial are as follows:
- A swirling stream of water infused with exfoliating agents thoroughly cleanses away dead skin cells and impurities from the pores
- While cleansing, the serum is also infused into the skin (down to the stratum corneum), so you can expect improved skin tone, firmness, and radiance immediately after the treatment.
Not only does it help with dead skin cell removal, but it also addresses the buildup that tends to occur during the hot summer monthsIt also cleanses dirt from pores at the same timeHydraFacial. By minimizing friction as much as possible and being gentle on the skin, you can achieve a radiant complexion even during seasons with strong UV rays.
Since there is also a risk of hyperpigmentation caused by UV rays,Be sure to take proper precautions against UV rays by using sunscreen and a hat.。
