Body Acne (Back Acne · Chest Acne) Management

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Delicate Approach to Body Skin

Unlike facial skin, the back and chest areas

have a relatively thick stratum corneum, deep pores, and high sebum secretion.

Due to these characteristics, acne that occurs once does not subside easily,

and can leave hyperpigmentation for a long time, causing distress.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we thoroughly consider the anatomical structure and characteristics of body skin

Exfoliation · Inflammation Soothing · Acne Extraction · Skin Recovery, encompassing the entire process of

and provide systematic management with a ‘customized body acne protocol’.

1. Jessner Peel

A frequently chosen peel for body acne management

Jessner Peel

Salicylic acid and Lactic acid as its main ingredients,

making it a stable peeling solution widely used for body acne management.

It is suitable for areas like the back and chest, where the stratum corneum is thick and pores are deep.

It can help improve chronic body acne.

It can also contribute to the alleviation of post-acne hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Its short recovery period with minimal disruption to daily life allows for comfortable treatment.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic,

we utilize Jessner Peel as a fundamental step in body acne management.

2. Body Aladin Peel (Please check recommended treatment items)

An advanced peel considered for keratosis pilaris or severe acne

For those with extensive or severe keratosis pilaris or pustular acne,

or those bothered by recurrent back acne,

a more active peeling method may be necessary.

Body Aladin Peel

is an advanced peel with stronger exfoliation and sebum control capabilities than Jessner Peel,

and is applied customized to the skin condition.

Areas like the back or shoulders with accumulated thick dead skin cells

Skin with old hyperpigmentation

can be considered for recurrent inflammatory acne lesions.

Recommended for those who expect more noticeable changes than Jessner Peel and can tolerate a shorter recovery period.

3. Post-Treatment Soothing Care

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Aftercare using Cryo Soothing Care and Jaungo Body Mummy Pack

After peeling, sensitive body skin

needs to be quickly soothed to aid healthy recovery and reduce discomfort.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic integrates the following two steps after Jessner Peel treatment:

Cryo Soothing Care

– Helps to effectively reduce heat and redness, and stabilize skin temperature.

Finish the treatment with Jaungo Mummy Pack

Jaungo Hannya extract can help hydrate and soothe the skin, while also protecting the skin barrier.

It reduces skin irritation after the procedure, ensuring comfort until the next day.

After peeling treatments, the soothing process is meticulously broken down into stages.,

At our clinic, we prioritize this delicate approach.

4. When extracting body acne, extra delicate care is required

Acne that occurs on the back or chest,

if improperly extracted, scars, indentations, or hyperpigmentation are highly likely to occur.

Therefore, caution against skin damage is necessary.

At our clinic, we avoid simple extraction methods that strain the skin.

Characteristics of the Extraction Procedure Performed at Our Clinic

By first securing an inflammatory drainage pathway using needling as needed, we prevent inflammation from rupturing inside the skin.

Meticulous Needling Technique

Considering the patient's hair growth direction or pore direction, we perform micro-needling.

This can help minimize skin damage.

We reduce the risk of scarring and proceed with the extraction process more carefully.

This can contribute to shortening the recovery period.

In body acne management, extraction is more than just an option;

it is a crucial process that must be performed accurately and delicately.
