What Makes Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Aquapeel Special?

1. Aquapeel Composed of a 5-Step Detailed Management Process

Most Aquapeel procedures are commonly performed in only 3 steps.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic performs Aquapeel through a total of 5 steps, from the X-peel stage to the soothing pack. It focuses on improving the overall condition of the skin, beyond simply removing sebum.

Step 1: X-peel (Sebum Softening) – Uses a mild acidic solution to gently loosen the bond between dead skin cells and sebum.

Step 2: AHA Exfoliation – Uses lactic acid and glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface and smooth out skin texture.

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

Step 4: Hydration and Soothing – Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe provide moisture to the skin and stabilize its barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – Through an herbal soothing pack, it helps calm skin heat and irritation, and alleviate inflammatory responses.

2. Use of Pure Undiluted Solutions Without Dilution Process

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

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses AHA, BHA, and soothing moisturizers all at their original concentrations.

By applying undiluted ingredients tailored to your skin type, it can help remove sebum and refine dead skin cells.

3. Adherence to Sufficient Reaction Time for Each Step – Meticulous Procedure

To enhance the effectiveness of Aquapeel, it is important to apply each step slowly, with sufficient time, and precisely.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, sufficient time is allowed for the active ingredients in each step to work on the skin, managing it so that sebum and dead skin cells can be smoothly separated and dissolved.

This signifies the importance of a procedure design that not only cleans the surface but also delicately considers the reactions of each skin layer.

This process, which requires sufficient time, can be performed more intensively in an environment that minimizes customer waiting burdens.

4. Traditional Korean Medicine Soothing Care Finish – Jaungo Modeling Pack

There are concerns that some Aquapeel procedures may not provide sufficient post-treatment soothing care, potentially making the skin more sensitive.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, Jaungo, an herbal regenerative ingredient, is applied in the form of a modeling pack at the final stage of treatment.

This helps strengthen the skin barrier and comfortably soothe irritated skin.

This soothing care is designed so that even those with sensitive or acne-prone skin can receive it with relative comfort.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling procedure that removes dead skin cells, sebum, blackheads, and other impurities using moisturizing and mild acidic solutions without causing physical irritation to the skin.

It can be understood as an integrated cleansing and soothing management that reduces skin burden while simultaneously performing cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing care.

When dead skin cells accumulate or a lot of sebum builds up around the nose, people often try to extract it themselves at home or use exfoliants.

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

Aquapeel alleviates these concerns by using a mild acidic solution sprayed by a machine and suction to delicately manage the skin.

How Aquapeel Works

1. Dual Action of Solution Spray and Vacuum Suction

It gently sprays a special solution onto the skin and simultaneously uses vacuum suction to effectively remove old dead skin cells, excess sebum, blackheads, and more.

This process minimizes skin irritation and allows for clean management, as there's no need for direct manual scrubbing.

2. Deep Sebum Management Utilizing Sebaceous Gland Pressure Difference

Our sebaceous glands and pores naturally maintain a certain pressure.

Aqua Peel uses the principle of negative pressure (vacuum suction) to gently help discharge sebum from within the pores.

When the pressure inside the pores is lowered, the likelihood of inflammation occurring is also expected to decrease.

This can positively impact the improvement of skin conditions prone to acne.

3. Three Key Ingredients Functioning in Stages

AHA (Water-soluble): Gently dissolves old dead skin cells accumulated on the skin's surface, helping to refine skin texture.

Excessive build-up of dead skin cells can make skin tone appear dull or prevent makeup from adhering well.

BHA (Oil-soluble): Contributes to gently managing blackheads and whiteheads by dissolving deep-seated sebum inside the pores.

Specifically, the salicylic acid ingredient can act deeply within pores, effectively helping to keep them clean.

Hydrating & Soothing Ingredients: Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe, and panthenol supply ample moisture to the skin and help alleviate external irritation.

They play a crucial role in reducing skin tightness or sensitivity that may occur after the procedure.

4. Systematic Step-by-Step Skin Refining Process

This procedure is not a single process, but rather consists of several stages that carefully encompass softening sebum, dissolving dead skin cells, removing sebum, and providing hydration and soothing.

Each stage is designed to work stably on the skin, which can help minimize skin irritation and maintain the treatment effects for a longer period.

5. Peeling That Considers Skin Barrier Restoration

Most conventional peeling procedures tend to focus primarily on removing dead skin cells;

Aqua Peel is a soothing-focused treatment that aims to reduce skin irritation while strengthening the skin barrier function.

It can be described as a peeling method that not only cleanses the skin but also considers overall skin health through adequate hydration and soothing.

Recommended Aqua Peel Treatment Interval

1. Oily skin, excessive sebum secretion, comedonal acne

The recommended interval is 2 weeks.

Reason: For skin with active sebum secretion and frequent comedones like whiteheads and blackheads, regularly reducing the burden on the sebaceous glands is beneficial.

Purpose: The goal is to regulate sebum balance and prevent acne worsening through initial intensive care.

2. Skin with many blackheads and whiteheads, and clogged pores

Treatment can be considered at 2-3 week intervals.

Reason: Regular removal of sebum before it accumulates in the pores can play an important role.

Purpose: By removing sebum from within the pores, gradual pore shrinkage can be expected.

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

Recommended at approximately 3-4 week intervals.

Reason: For those with a weak skin barrier, it may be beneficial to reduce irritation and focus on moisturizing and soothing care.

Purpose: The goal is to help protect the skin barrier and maintain a hydrated skin texture.

4. For normal skin or if you desire improvement in skin texture and tone

The recommended treatment interval is 4 weeks.

Reason: Even without specific skin troubles, it can be suitable when you want to refine skin texture and maintain a healthy glow.

Purpose: The focus is on supporting a healthy skin care routine and consistently maintaining treatment effects.

5. When used for skin preparation before other procedures such as skin boosters or lasers

It is recommended to perform within 3-5 days before the procedure.

Reason: By refining dead skin cells and sebum, the absorption of active ingredients can be enhanced, and the subsequent procedure's response can become smoother.

Purpose: The goal is to enhance absorption, thereby maximizing the positive effects of subsequent treatments.
