Body Acne (Back Acne, Chest Acne) Management

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach to Body Acne

The skin on the torso, specifically the back and chest, differs from facial skin.

Specifically, the stratum corneum tends to be relatively thick, pores are deep, and sebum secretion is active.

Due to these skin characteristics, when acne occurs, it does not disappear easily and can leave behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Many people experience discomfort due to this type of body acne.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we carefully examine the anatomical structure and physiological characteristics of body skin,

peeling, soothing, extraction, and skin recovery stages, systematically considering

to provide 'body acne management' tailored to each individual.

1. Jessner Peel

One of the methods that can be utilized for body acne management

Jessner Peel

has salicylic acid and lactic acid as its main ingredients,

and has been a widely used treatment method for body acne management.

It may be suitable for application on areas like the back or chest, where the stratum corneum is thick and pores are deep.

It can be beneficial for managing long-lasting body acne.

For post-acne marks, a positive effect can be expected in improving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

With less burden during the post-treatment recovery process, it has the advantage of allowing relatively comfortable initiation of management.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic,

we utilize Jessner Peel as one of the main processes for body acne management.

2. Body Aladdin Peeling (Consultation required to determine individual suitability)

This is an intensive peeling that can be considered when follicular hyperkeratosis is prominent.

For severe cases of keratosis pilaris or inflammatory acne,

or for those concerned about frequent recurrence of back acne,

we can suggest a more proactive peeling treatment.

Body Aladdin Peeling

is a peeling treatment that works more deeply on exfoliation and sebum dissolution, and

we proceed selectively based on the patient's condition and needs.

Cases accompanied by long-lasting hyperpigmentation

Recurrent inflammatory acne

This treatment may require some recovery time, so it may be suitable for those considering more intensive management than Jessner Peel.

3. Post-Treatment Soothing Care

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Aftercare Measures through Cryo Soothing Management and Jaundo Body Mummy Pack

Body skin, which can become sensitive after peeling treatment,

can benefit from a stabilization phase for smooth recovery.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we proceed with management through the following two processes after Jessner Peel treatment.

Cryo Soothing Management

– Can help alleviate heat sensation and erythema that may occur after treatment, and contribute to regulating skin temperature.

Body skin soothing care with Jaungo Mummy Pack

Jaungo and Hanya extracts can moisturize and soothe the skin, helping to maintain the skin barrier.

This process helps reduce potential irritation after the procedure, maintaining a comfortable skin condition until the next day.

Carefully dividing and applying the skin soothing process after a peeling procedure is,

the delicate skin care approach pursued here.

4. Body Acne Extraction: An Area Requiring Careful Approach

Acne that occurs on the back or chest

If improperly extracted, it can lead to issues such as scars, skin depressions, and hyperpigmentation.

For these reasons, the risk of skin damage is relatively high.

We do not recommend a simple extraction method.

Our Approach to Acne Extraction

To prevent inflammation from rupturing, we first secure an exit pathway for the contents with needling, if necessary.

Needling with consideration for delicacy

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

This can help minimize damage to the skin.

This process helps ensure safe extraction while reducing the risk of scarring.

It can also positively influence the skin's recovery speed after the procedure.

In body acne management, extraction is not a simple option,

but a crucial process that must be performed with precision.
