About the treatment
01 | LHALA Doctor
For pores, dullness, rough texture and overall skin quality
An advanced version of the Korean LHALA Peel, made for medical clinics. As well as exfoliating with LHA (lipohydroxy acid), it contains ingredients that support the skin barrier, firmness and glow. It gently clears old skin cells and clogged pores, leading to healthy, smooth skin. It is relatively gentle on the skin, so it also suits people who want to keep downtime to a minimum.
Recommended if you
• are bothered by darkened pores or rough texture
• have acne or oily skin
• want to care for dull-looking skin
• want to improve your overall skin quality
02 | Massage Peel (collagen peel)
For firmness, glow, elasticity and fine lines
The Massage Peel uses a dedicated solution called PRX-T33. It contains high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid, and works on firmness and elasticity while limiting strong peeling of the skin surface. Focusing on collagen production, it aims for glowing, youthful-looking skin.
Recommended if you
• are concerned about loss of firmness or elasticity
• want to care for fine lines or uneven texture
• want glowing skin
• want to address dullness and a lack of firmness together

Recommended combination treatment
Chemical peel × pico laser toning
A treatment that combines skin-quality care with pigment care.
At OKACHI CLINIC, both LHALA Doctor and the Massage Peel are available as a combination treatment with pico laser toning. By combining skin-quality care from the peel with the pico laser’s action on melanin pigment, it addresses several skin concerns together, such as pores, dullness, spots, melasma and a lack of firmness. We will suggest whichever of the two combinations suits your skin condition and concerns.
- 01 | LHALA Doctor × pico laser toning
If pores, rough texture or dullness bother you - LHALA Doctor is a peel that combines exfoliation with LHA (lipohydroxy acid) and ingredients that support the skin barrier, firmness and glow. Used together with pico laser toning, it clears old skin cells and clogged pores while also working on pigment concerns such as spots, melasma and dullness. It refines skin texture and aims for smooth, clear-looking skin.
- 02 | Massage Peel × pico laser toning
If firmness, glow, elasticity or dullness bother you - The Massage Peel uses PRX-T33 and focuses on the skin’s collagen production. Combined with pico laser toning, it aims to improve firmness, elasticity and glow while also working on pigment such as spots, melasma and dullness. Recommended if you want to even out your overall skin tone as well as address the loss of firmness and fine lines that come with age.
* Depending on your skin condition, we may advise against having both treatments on the same day.

How a visit works
Arrival
Come in at your appointment time. Filling in the online medical form beforehand makes check-in quicker, and first-time visitors are always welcome.
01Consultation
Your doctor asks what is bothering you and what you would like to change, then examines your skin or the affected area. You will hear what the treatment involves, what it can realistically do and what to watch for — and nothing goes ahead until you are comfortable.
02Treatment
The treatment is tailored to you, based on your consultation. How long it takes depends on the procedure; either way, we keep it as easy on you as we can.
03Going home
Before you leave, the doctor or staff will explain how to care for yourself afterward and the precautions. If anything worries you afterwards, get in touch — at any point.
04AFTERCARE
Aftercare
Looking after you afterward
Our care does not end when you leave the clinic. If you have a question or something does not feel right, call us or message our official LINE account and we will help. We would rather hear from you early than have you wonder.
