Inflammation Herbal Acupoint Injection Treatment Without Steroids

Distinguishing Features of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture

1. A treatment method that soothes inflammation without steroid components.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture fundamentally differs from commonly used triamcinolone (TA) corticosteroid injections.

While steroids help rapidly reduce inflammation, they can cause side effects such as skin atrophy, hyperpigmentation, or telangiectasia.

For these reasons, repeated use is difficult, and it is known not to be suitable for long-term skin health management.

We only use precisely refined herbal acupuncture solutions containing ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, such as Coptis, Gardenia, Scutellaria, and Phellodendron.

Rather than simply suppressing the skin, we focus on calming inflammation by inducing its self-healing power.

It contains no steroid components and does not strain the skin barrier or tissues after treatment, reducing your concerns.

2. Useful not only for acute inflammation but also for managing recurring inflammation.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture can be directly injected into areas of acute inflammation such as red, hot acne, papules, and pimples, quickly soothing them.

Clinically, a reduction in redness, pain, and swelling is often observed within 1 to 3 days.

However, unlike conventional anti-inflammatory injections that focus solely on acute inflammation, this treatment is utilized more broadly.

It can be safely and repeatedly applied to areas where inflammation frequently recurs, such as the chin, cheekbones, forehead, and around the mouth.

It can be considered a long-term method for managing inflammation without concerns about cumulative side effects from steroids.

According to research results combining Hwangryunhaedoktang herbal acupuncture,

After 10 weeks of once-weekly treatment, the acne inflammation grade (based on KAGS) showed a statistically significant improvement (average change from 3.59 to 1.95, p<0.001).

This ability to manage not only acute inflammation but also recurrent inflammatory issues simultaneously can be seen as a key difference from general anti-inflammatory treatments.

3. Repeat treatments are possible without concerns about steroid side effects.

Receiving steroid injections multiple times in the same area can increase the likelihood of side effects such as skin atrophy, indentation, or blood vessel dilation.

Therefore, if inflammation repeatedly occurs in the same area, continuing to receive treatments can be a burden.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture works by regulating the immune response without suppressing it, allowing for repeated use even in areas prone to recurrence.

This method can be particularly suitable for patients with thin or sensitive skin, or those who frequently undergo laser treatments.

4. We have a differentiated system that enables highly concentrated treatments.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic operates by limiting the number of patients seen per day.

This relaxed booking system, approximately one-third the capacity of typical medical institutions, enhances the quality of the treatment environment.

This approach goes beyond mere convenience; it forms a crucial foundation that enables treatments focused on precision and the patient's real-time responses.

Even during anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture treatments, we monitor the patient's skin reactions in real-time,

adjusting the dosage of the herbal acupuncture solution in areas where inflammation frequently recurs,

or widely dispersing injections in boundary areas to prevent inflammation from spreading.

We provide treatments that are not simply fixed but are adjustable and customized for each patient.

In other words, it goes beyond simply injecting the herbal acupuncture solution;

treatments are designed based on clinical observations like 'inflammation may occur in this area again,' considering even the possibility of recurrence.

In this regard, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture can be described as a treatment that incorporates both density and precision.

Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture, Recommended for These Individuals

1. Those who frequently experience inflammatory acne accompanied by redness and heat.

It can be considered for patients whose inflammation consistently appears in fixed locations, such as the chin, around the mouth, and cheekbones.

If heat or pain recurs in the pre-eruption stage of breakouts, a proactive treatment can also offer preventive effects.

2. Skin with concerns about the side effects of steroid anti-inflammatory injections.

Those with thin or sensitive skin who are concerned about indented scars,

or those who have experienced skin atrophy or hyperpigmentation after previous steroid injections, may find this a suitable alternative.

3. Those who hesitate to take oral medications such as antibiotics or sebum regulators for recurrent skin inflammation

It can be considered when you want to manage inflammation through treatment without oral medication.

It is suitable for those who want direct topical anti-inflammatory treatment on the inflamed area.

4. When concerned about the occurrence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) due to recurrent inflammation

If you have a skin type that frequently develops hyperpigmentation after inflammation subsides,

rapidly soothing the inflammation with herbal acupuncture in the early stages can help prevent hyperpigmentation.

5. Those who desire short-term inflammation calming effects along with long-term management to prevent recurrence

Herbal acupuncture for inflammation can help rapidly calm acute inflammation.

It focuses more on regulating immune responses to prevent recurrence of inflammation and restore skin balance.

Effects of Herbal Acupuncture for Inflammation

1. Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines: This can help alleviate redness and swelling.

Ingredients such as berberine, baicalin, palmatine, and crocin, extracted from traditional Korean medicinal herbs like Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron amurense, and Gardenia jasminoides,

act to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, which trigger inflammatory responses.

As a result, heat sensation, redness, swelling, and pain in the inflamed area can be alleviated within a relatively short period.

2. Regulation of oxidative stress: Contributes to reducing skin tissue damage and scar formation.

Baicalin from Scutellaria baicalensis and crocin from Gardenia jasminoides help remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body,

and can function to protect skin cells from oxidative damage.

These actions can contribute to reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or atrophic scars that may occur after acne.

Furthermore, it can have a positive impact on the recovery process of the dermal layer.

3. Immune response modulation: Expected to stabilize recurrent inflammation.

While steroids act by rapidly suppressing immune responses,

the herbal acupuncture ingredients can help regulate the skin's immune response to prevent it from becoming excessive.

This regulatory ability can be particularly beneficial for those who frequently experience recurrent inflammation in the same area.

It acts to gradually stabilize the recurrence cycle of skin inflammation.

4. Antibacterial and antifungal action: May help improve acne bacteria (P. acnes) and folliculitis.

Berberine from Coptis chinensis and palmatine from Phellodendron amurense are known to have antibacterial properties,

and some studies show a direct inhibitory effect against bacteria that cause acne or are associated with folliculitis.

Therefore, it can also be helpful for managing inflammatory acne or skin troubles where secondary infection due to irritation is a concern.

5. Skin barrier recovery support: Expected to help sensitive skin recover.

Herbal acupuncture for inflammation inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in skin cells, thereby preventing damage to the dermal structure,

and plays a role in assisting the recovery of the skin barrier damaged by inflammation.

It can also be used to calm inflammation in sensitized skin, such as after laser treatments or peels.
