Back and Chest Acne Management

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach Focused on Improvement

The back and chest areas differ from facial skin, having

a thicker stratum corneum, deeper pores, and numerous sebaceous glands.

Due to these characteristics, when acne occurs, it does not easily disappear and has a high chance of leaving pigmentation,

making it an area of concern for many.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, considering the structure and characteristics of body skin,

we conduct exfoliation, inflammation soothing, comedone extraction, and skin recovery processes step by step

through a delicate body acne management program.

1. Jessner Peel

This treatment is frequently used for body acne management.

Jessner Peel is

a blend of salicylic acid and lactic acid,

a treatment that has been effectively used for body acne management for a long time.

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

and can help improve long-lasting body acne.

It can also be expected to help alleviate post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) left by acne.

With a relatively short recovery period after treatment, you can receive treatment with little disruption to your daily life.

At our clinic,

Jessner Peel is utilized as a primary starting point for body acne management.

2. Body Aladdin Peel (Individual suitability check required)

A deep peel that can be considered for severe keratosis pilaris

For cases where keratosis pilaris or pustular acne is prominent,

or for those who experience frequent recurrence of back acne,

more intensive exfoliation management can be beneficial.

The Body Aladdin Peel is

a peel that can effectively manage thick dead skin cells and excessive sebum. This treatment is

considered and performed based on the individual's skin condition and needs.

It can be evaluated for suitability in cases where thick dead skin cells have formed on the back or shoulder line,

where long-lasting pigmentation is present,

or for recurrent inflammatory acne lesions.

A short recovery period may be required, and it is recommended to decide through consultation with a specialist if you desire more aggressive improvement than what Jessner Peel offers.

3. Post-Peel Skin Soothing Care

We utilize Cryo Soothing Care and Jawoongo Body Mummy Pack.

After a peeling treatment, it is important to quickly stabilize the stimulated body skin

for healthy skin recovery.

At our clinic, we help soothe the skin after Jessner Peel through the following two steps:

Cryo Soothing Care

This can help regulate skin temperature by alleviating heat and redness, contributing to stabilization.

Body Jaungo Mummy Pack Application

Jaungo Hanhya extract can help hydrate and soothe the skin, contributing to skin barrier protection.

It helps minimize skin irritation, maintaining a comfortable feeling until the day after the procedure.

The method of applying segmented soothing care after peeling,

is part of the meticulous approach we pursue.

4. Body Acne Extraction – Requires a particularly cautious approach

Acne on the back and chest

if improperly extracted, can lead to scars, skin indentations, and hyperpigmentation,

posing a high risk of skin damage.

We avoid simple extraction methods.

Meticulous Process Considered During Extraction

If necessary, we can pre-open a pathway with needling to prevent inflammation from spreading to the surrounding area.

Precise Needling Technique

We perform micro-needling, meticulously considering the direction of pores and body hair.

→ This can help reduce the possibility of skin damage.

→ We proceed with extraction, minimizing the risk of scarring.

→ This can help with skin recovery.

Body acne extraction is not merely an option,

but a crucial process that requires a careful approach for skin condition improvement.
