What Makes Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Aquapeel Different?

1. Aquapeel with a Sophisticated 5-Step Protocol

Many Aquapeel treatments are often conducted in just 3 steps.

However, at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, the process consists of a total of 5 steps, from X-peel to the soothing pack, allowing you to expect a precise peeling that goes beyond simple sebum removal to comprehensively manage your skin condition.

Step 1: X-Peel (Sebum Softening) – A mildly acidic solution gently loosens the bond between old dead skin cells and sebum.

Step 2: AHA Exfoliation – Lactic and glycolic acids help to refine dead skin cells on the skin's surface and smooth the skin texture.

Step 3: BHA Sebum Dissolution – Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the sebaceous glands to help remove sebum and blackheads.

Step 4: Hydration & Soothing – Utilizes hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe ingredients to hydrate the skin and stabilize the barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – This herbal soothing pack calms down heat and irritation that may occur after the procedure and can also help with anti-inflammatory care.

2. Use of Undiluted Solutions at Original Concentrations

To effectively manage sebum and blackheads, the concentration of the solutions used plays a crucial role.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, AHA, BHA, and soothing moisturizers are all used in their original, undiluted concentrations.

By applying ingredients at their original concentrations tailored to your skin type, we can help with sebum removal and exfoliation.

3. Ensuring Sufficient Reaction Time for Each Step – No Rushing.

To maximize the effectiveness of Aquapeel, it is crucial to apply each step carefully and with sufficient time.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we ensure sufficient time for the solutions to fully act at each step, allowing sebum and dead skin cells to be completely separated and dissolved.

The key is a treatment plan that considers the reactions of each skin layer, not just a superficial sweep.

These delicate processes are possible in a clinical environment where we can fully focus on each patient.

4. Finishing with Traditional Korean Medicine-Based Soothing Care – Jaungo Modeling Pack

After typical Aquapeel procedures, the skin can sometimes become more sensitive due to insufficient soothing steps.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we use a Jaungo modeling pack containing traditional herbal regenerative ingredients as the final step.

This helps to comfort the skin barrier and soothe skin irritated by the procedure.

We focused on soothing care so that even those with sensitive or acne-prone skin can receive the treatment comfortably.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling treatment that gently removes skin waste such as dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads using moisturizing and mildly acidic solutions, without scrubbing or strong irritation to the skin.

It's convenient to understand it as a comprehensive skin care treatment that reduces the burden on the skin while providing cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing care all at once.

In daily life, when dead skin cells accumulate on the skin or there is a lot of sebum on the nose, people often try to extract it themselves or use exfoliants at home.

However, strong physical irritation can potentially damage the skin barrier.

Aquapeel reduces these concerns, using a mildly acidic solution sprayed through a machine and suction power to delicately refine the skin.

Principles of Aquapeel Treatment

1. Spray and vacuum suction work together.

After gently spraying the solution onto the skin, vacuum suction removes impurities such as dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads.

This method is designed to reduce skin irritation while ensuring thorough cleansing, without the need for manual rubbing.

2. The principle involves removing deep-seated sebum by utilizing the pressure difference inside the sebaceous glands.

A constant pressure naturally exists within the sebaceous glands and pores.

Aqua Peel treatment helps to effectively draw out sebum from within the pores using negative pressure (vacuum suction).

During this process, the internal pore pressure decreases, which can help reduce the likelihood of inflammation.

Therefore, it can positively influence the improvement of acne-prone skin conditions.

3. Three main ingredients utilized in stages.

AHA (water-soluble) ingredients help to gently remove unnecessary dead skin cells from the skin's surface, refining skin texture.

Excessive buildup of dead skin cells can make the skin tone appear dull or cause makeup to flake.

BHA (oil-soluble) ingredients help dissolve sebum within the pores, contributing to the reduction of blackheads and whiteheads.

Salicylic acid works deep within the pores to help keep them clean.

Moisturizing and soothing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe, and panthenol are used, which deliver hydration to the skin and aid in soothing.

These ingredients can play an important role in reducing skin dryness or sensitivity after the treatment.

4. Systematically manages skin in stages.

Aqua Peel proceeds in a 5-step process that involves softening sebum, then exfoliating dead skin cells, followed by sebum cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing.

This staged progression allows the skin to react relatively stably, thereby reducing irritation and helping maintain the effects after treatment.

5. A peeling treatment that considers skin barrier stabilization.

While conventional peeling treatments often focus primarily on shedding the skin's surface,

Aqua Peel is a soothing-focused treatment designed to reduce skin irritation while contributing to skin barrier stabilization.

It can be a peeling treatment that simultaneously cleanses skin impurities while promoting hydration and soothing.

Expected Effects After Aqua Peel Treatment

• 1. Can help remove sebum and impurities from within the pores.
• 2. Can contribute to improving skin texture by removing old dead skin cells.
• 3. Can help thoroughly cleanse pores and, as a result, assist in pore contraction.
• 4. Can expect the effect of brighter skin tone and increased translucency.
• 5. Supplies moisture to the skin and aids in soothing.
• 6. Can contribute to the stabilization of the skin barrier.
• 7. Can help prevent the worsening of acne.

Cases Where Aqua Peel Treatment May Be Considered

1. Skin with significant concerns about sebum, blackheads, and whiteheads.

May be considered for individuals with noticeable pore blockages on the face, such as on the nose, chin, or forehead.

It can be a good option when you want to clear sebum without an extraction process.

2. Individuals whose makeup flakes and skin texture is not smooth.

Recommended for those concerned about severe dead skin cell buildup or foundation not adhering evenly to the skin.

It is recommended for those who wish to soften their skin texture and improve makeup adhesion.

3. Oily skin or excessive oil secretion in the T-zone area.

Especially for those who experience increased oil secretion or severe skin shine in the summer.

It can be beneficial for oily or combination skin types that appear to have enlarged pores and produce a large amount of sebum.

4. Comedonal skin prone to developing acne

This refers to a skin condition where whiteheads or blackheads are frequently observed, representing a pre-inflammatory stage.

It is suitable for those who wish to prevent future issues by managing comedones proactively before they worsen into skin troubles.

5. For those with sensitive or thin skin who find laser treatments burdensome

This can be considered by individuals who are sensitive to external stimuli or find high-power treatments like lasers challenging.

It can be chosen when a gentle skin care routine that minimizes irritation is desired.

6. When skin condition adjustment is needed before other treatments like lasers or skin boosters

It is useful when you want to tidy up dead skin cells and sebum on the skin's surface to enhance the absorption rate of treatment ingredients.

The purpose is to enhance the improvement effects of subsequent treatments.

7. When you want to maintain skin health through a regular skin care routine

It is suitable for those who experience an increase in dead skin cells due to seasonal changes, or who wish to improve overall skin condition through consistent texture and tone management.

It can be considered when skin tone feels uneven and dull, or when skin texture feels rough.

AquaPeel Treatment Cycle

1. Oily or comedonal acne-prone skin with excessive sebum secretion

Recommended cycle: It is advisable to undergo the treatment every 2 weeks.

Reason: For skin with high sebum secretion where whiteheads or blackheads easily form, regularly controlling the activity of the sebaceous glands can be beneficial for management.

Purpose: To balance sebum and prevent acne from worsening through intensive initial management.

2. Skin with many blackheads and whiteheads, where pores easily become clogged

Recommended cycle: Treatment can be considered every 2 to 3 weeks.

Reason: It is important to regularly remove sebum before it accumulates in the pores and causes issues.

Purpose: To thoroughly remove sebum within the pores, aiming to gradually induce pore shrinkage.

3. Sensitive or dry skin (focused on exfoliation and soothing)

Recommended cycle: It is desirable to manage every 3 to 4 weeks.

Reason: As skin barrier function may be weak, management should focus on reducing irritation, moisturizing, and soothing the skin.

Purpose: It can help maintain a moisturized skin texture while healthily protecting the skin barrier.

4. Normal skin / For those seeking improvement in skin texture and tone

Recommended cycle: Treatment can be received every 4 weeks.

Reason: It is suitable for those who do not have specific skin troubles but wish to refine their skin texture and maintain a healthy glow.

Purpose: To establish a healthy skin care routine and consistently maintain the improvement effects after treatment.

5. When used as a pre-treatment for other procedures such as skin boosters or lasers

Recommended timing: It is advisable to receive it 3 to 5 days before the scheduled main treatment.

Reason: Tidying up dead skin cells and excessive sebum on the skin's surface increases the absorption rate of active ingredients, which can lead to a more positive response from the subsequent treatment.

Purpose: It contributes to enhancing absorption, thereby better eliciting the potential effects of subsequent treatments.
