Body Acne (Back Acne · Chest Acne)

Keut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Meticulous Approach to Body Acne Management

Compared to facial skin, the back and chest areas

have a thicker stratum corneum, deeper pores, and tend to produce more sebum.

For these reasons, once acne appears, it doesn't easily disappear and can lead to hyperpigmentation.

It can be a significant concern for patients.

Considering the unique structure and characteristics of body skin,

encompassing exfoliation, soothing, extraction, and recovery stages,

we apply a ‘Custom Body Acne Protocol’ for management.

1. Jessner Peel

A primary peeling treatment considered for body acne management

Jessner Peel is

Salicylic acid + Lactic acid composed of

an effective treatment that has long been utilized for body acne management.

It is known to be suitable for areas like the back and chest, which have a thick stratum corneum and deep pores.

It can help improve chronic body acne lesions.

It can also contribute to the alleviation of acne-induced hyperpigmentation (PIH).

With less burden for returning to daily life after the procedure, it can be received relatively comfortably.

At Keut Oriental Medicine Clinic,

we incorporate Jessner Peel as the starting point for body acne management.

2. Body Aladdin Peel (Check recommended procedures)

This is an advanced treatment recommended for those with prominent keratosis pilaris (follicular keratosis).

If you have severe keratosis pilaris or suppurative acne lesions,

or if you are concerned about frequently recurring back acne,

a deeper exfoliation treatment may be necessary.

Body Aladdin Peel is

a peel with deeper exfoliating effects and sebum dissolving power than Jessner Peel,

and is performed selectively based on the patient's skin condition and needs.

In cases where dead skin cells are thickly accumulated on the back or shoulder line

Lesions accompanied by old hyperpigmentation

Recurrent inflammatory acne

This treatment may require a short recovery period, so it is recommended for those who desire more aggressive improvement than what Jessner Peel offers.

3. Post-Procedure Soothing Care

Keut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Meticulous Care using Cryo Soothing Management and Jaungo Body Mummy Pack

Body skin, which can be irritated after a peeling procedure,

can benefit from a rapid stabilization process for comfortable recovery.

At Keut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we proceed with the following two soothing steps after a Jessner Peel procedure.

Cryo Soothing Management

This management aims to alleviate heat and redness in the treated area, comfortably stabilizing skin temperature.

We finish with Jaungo Body Mummy Pack.

Jaungo Hannya extract can help replenish skin moisture, aid in soothing, and protect the skin barrier.

This minimizes skin irritation, ensuring comfort is maintained until the day after the procedure.

Our method of applying a refined soothing process after peeling,

This is the meticulous detail that we prioritize.

4. When Extracting Body Acne: A Particularly Careful Approach is Needed

Acne occurring on the back or chest

If improperly extracted, scars, indentations, pigmentation are highly likely to remain as after-effects.

The risk of skin damage is particularly high.

For these areas, we avoid simple extraction methods.

The Delicacy of Our Extraction Method

If necessary, we first secure a drainage pathway using needling to help prevent inflammatory lesions from rupturing.

Meticulous Needling Technique

Considering the direction of body hair, or the grain of the pores, we perform micro-needling.

This can help minimize skin damage.

This is to reduce the possibility of scarring and to perform extractions more comfortably.

Consequently, it can contribute to reducing the burden of recovery.

In body acne management, extraction is not merely an option, but

it is an important process that must be performed by skilled practitioners.
