What makes Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Aquapeel special?

1. Aquapeel consisting of a 5-step detailed management process

Most Aquapeel procedures commonly consist of only 3 steps.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic performs Aquapeel as a total of 5 steps, from the X-peel stage to the soothing pack. It focuses not merely on removing sebum but on improving the overall condition of the skin.

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 surface and refine 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 the skin barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – Through a herbal soothing pack, it calms down skin heat and irritation and helps alleviate inflammatory reactions.

2. Use of pure undiluted solutions without a dilution process

To effectively manage sebum or blackheads, the concentration of the solution used plays an important role.

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

By applying undiluted ingredients tailored to your skin type, it can help with sebum removal and exfoliation.

3. Adherence to sufficient reaction time for each step – Meticulous execution

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

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, sufficient time is allowed for each step's agents to act on the skin, ensuring that sebum and dead skin cells are smoothly separated and dissolved.

This signifies the importance of a procedure design that goes beyond simply clearing the surface, delicately considering the reactions of each skin layer.

These processes, which require ample time, can be performed more effectively in an environment that minimizes customer waiting burden.

4. 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, a Korean herbal regenerative ingredient, is applied in the form of a modeling pack during the final step of the treatment.

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

This soothing treatment is designed to be relatively comfortable for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling treatment that removes waste products such as dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads using moisturizing and mild acidic solutions, without causing physical irritation to the skin.

It may be helpful to understand it as an integrated cleansing and soothing treatment that can simultaneously provide cleansing, moisturizing, and calming care while minimizing skin burden.

When dead skin cells accumulate on the skin or excessive sebum appears around the nose, many people often resort to self-extraction or using exfoliants at home.

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

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

How Aquapeel Works

1. Dual Action of Solution Spray and Vacuum Suction

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 it does not require direct scrubbing by hand.

2. Deep Sebum Management Utilizing Sebaceous Gland Pressure Differences

Our sebaceous glands and pores naturally maintain a certain pressure.

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

As the pressure inside the pores decreases, the likelihood of inflammation is also expected to be reduced.

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

3. Three Key Ingredients Functioning in Stages

AHA (Water-Soluble): Helps gently dissolve old dead skin cells accumulated on the skin's surface, refining the skin texture to make it smooth.

When dead skin cells accumulate excessively, skin tone may appear dull, or makeup may not adhere well.

BHA (Oil-Soluble): Helps gently manage blackheads and whiteheads by dissolving deep-seated sebum within the pores.

Specifically, salicylic acid can be effective in working deep within the pores to keep them clean.

Moisturizing & Soothing Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, aloe, panthenol, and others provide ample moisture to the skin and help alleviate external irritation.

They play an important role in reducing skin tightness or sensitivity that may occur after the treatment.

4. Systematic Step-by-Step Skin Refining Process

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

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

5. Peeling that Considers Skin Barrier Recovery

While most general peeling treatments tend to focus primarily on removing dead skin cells,

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

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

Especially those who tend to have increased skin oiliness and severe shininess during summer

Oily and combination skin types with visibly enlarged pores and excessive sebum secretion

4. Comedonal Skin Before Developing into Acne

When whiteheads or blackheads are frequently observed, and the skin is in a pre-inflammatory stage

It may be necessary to manage early comedones before skin troubles worsen.

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

It may be suitable for those who are sensitive to external stimuli and find treatments using lasers or strong energy uncomfortable.

Recommended for those who wish to manage their skin gently and comfortably.

6. When skin preparation is needed before other treatments such as lasers or skin boosters

It can be useful when you want to tidy up old dead skin cells and excessive sebum to increase the absorption rate of active ingredients into the skin.

It can help further enhance the positive effects of other treatments.

7. When consistent skin care is needed

It is suitable for those who experience increased dead skin cells due to seasonal changes or who require periodic management of their skin texture and tone.

It can be considered when your skin tone is uneven or dull, and when your skin texture needs refinement.

Recommended Aqua Peel Treatment Intervals

1. Oily skin with excessive sebum secretion and comedonal acne

The recommended interval is 2 weeks.

Reason: For skin with active sebum secretion and frequent comedones like whiteheads and blackheads, it helps to regularly alleviate the burden on the sebaceous glands.

Purpose: The aim 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 within the pores, gradual pore contraction can be expected.

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

Recommended approximately every 3-4 weeks.

Reason: When the skin barrier is weak, 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 when desiring 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 your skin texture and maintain a healthy glow.

Purpose: Focuses on supporting a healthy skin care routine and consistently maintaining the treatment effects.

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

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

Reason: By tidying up dead skin cells and sebum, the absorption of active ingredients is enhanced, and the subsequent treatment's response can become more optimal.

Purpose: The aim is to increase the absorption rate, allowing for even greater positive effects from the next treatment.
