Key Features of KKEUT Clinic Aqua Peel

1. Sophisticated 5-Step Aqua Peel Protocol

Most Aqua Peel treatments typically proceed in a 3-step process.

At KKEUT Clinic, we have structured the treatment process into a total of five steps, from the X-peel stage to the final calming pack. This aims for a peeling treatment that goes beyond simply removing sebum, delicately addressing the overall condition of the skin.

Step 1: X-peel (Sebum Softening) – This process uses a mildly acidic solution to gently loosen the bonds between dead skin cells and sebum.

Step 2: AHA Exfoliation – Lactic acid and glycolic acid ingredients help to remove old dead skin cells from the skin surface, improving skin texture.

Step 3: BHA Sebum Dissolution – Salicylic acid works deep within the sebaceous glands to gently manage excessive sebum and blackheads.

Step 4: Hydration and Calming – Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe are used to provide ample moisture to the skin and help stabilize the skin barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – This pack, containing traditional Korean medicine calming ingredients, alleviates post-treatment heat and irritation, soothing the skin.

2. Undiluted Ingredients, Used as Is

For effective management of sebum and blackheads, the concentration and purity of the solutions used can play an important role.

At KKEUT Clinic, all solutions, including AHA, BHA, and soothing moisturizers, are applied in their original, undiluted form.

By using undiluted, original concentrations tailored to individual skin types, more effective results can be expected for sebum removal and exfoliation.

3. Ensuring Ample Action Time for Each Step

To enhance the effectiveness of Aqua Peel treatment, it is crucial to proceed carefully, taking sufficient time for each step.

At KKEUT Clinic, we allow ample time for the solutions in each step to be fully absorbed and act on the skin, ensuring that sebum and dead skin cells are gently separated and dissolved.

This goes beyond merely cleansing the skin surface, and is based on a meticulous treatment plan that thoroughly considers the reactions of each skin layer.

This ample allocation of time can contribute to providing more intensive care for our visitors.

4. Calming Treatment Using a Traditional Korean Medicine Jaungo Modeling Pack

In some Aqua Peel treatments, insufficient calming care can occasionally lead to skin sensitivity after the procedure.

At KKEUT Clinic, during the final stage of the procedure, we apply a Jaungo modeling pack containing traditional Korean medicine ingredients,

to help stabilize the skin barrier and quickly soothe any irritation that may arise from the treatment.

This is a calming treatment program designed so that even individuals with sensitive or acne-prone skin can receive it relatively comfortably.

What is Aqua Peel?

Aqua Peel is a peeling treatment that gently tidies up skin waste such as dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads, using hydrating and mildly acidic solutions, without strong physical friction or irritation to the skin.

It can be described as a comprehensive skin care method that does not place excessive burden on the skin, while simultaneously offering cleansing, hydration, and calming care.

When you're concerned about accumulated dead skin cells or sebum around the nose, many often resort to self-extraction or using exfoliants at home.

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

Aqua Peel alleviates these concerns, and is a treatment method designed to comfortably tidy the skin using mildly acidic solutions dispensed by the device and a suction method.

Principle of Aqua Peel Treatment

1. Combination of Solution Spray and Vacuum Suction

By gently applying a special solution to the skin while simultaneously applying vacuum suction, it can help manage accumulated dead skin cells, sebum, blackheads, and other impurities.

This method is designed to refine the skin surface without harsh physical scrubbing, reducing irritation and allowing for comfortable treatment.

2. Sebum Care within Pores Utilizing Sebaceous Gland Pressure Differences

Different pressures exist within the sebaceous glands and pores of our skin.

Aqua Peel uses the negative pressure created by vacuum suction to gently draw sebum out from inside the pores.

When the pressure inside the pores is lowered, it can be expected to alleviate situations that could lead to inflammation.

This approach can reduce factors contributing to acne and increase the likelihood of improved skin condition.

3. Step-by-Step Treatment with Three Key Ingredients

Water-soluble AHA ingredients gently soften old dead skin cells on the skin's surface, helping to smooth overall skin texture.

Excessively accumulated dead skin cells can make skin tone dull or cause makeup to cake.

Oil-soluble BHA ingredients penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve sebum, contributing to the management of blackheads and whiteheads.

Salicylic acid, one of BHA's key ingredients, works deep inside the pores to help keep them clean.

Moisturizing and soothing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe, and panthenol adequately hydrate the skin and help calm it from external irritations.

These ingredients can help reduce post-treatment skin dryness or sensitivity.

4. Systematic Step-by-Step Treatment Considering Skin Condition

Aqua Peel is not a one-step process; it is carried out in five stages: sebum softening, exfoliation, sebum suction, moisturizing, and skin soothing.

This sequential treatment helps the skin react stably, reduces irritation, and can be beneficial for sustaining the positive effects of the treatment.

5. Peeling Treatment for Skin Barrier Health

While most peeling treatments tend to focus on removing dead skin cells from the skin surface,

Aqua Peel is known as a soothing-focused treatment that prioritizes reducing skin irritation and helping to strengthen the skin barrier function.

Therefore, this treatment can be seen as a peeling method that not only thoroughly refines the skin but also provides ample hydration and soothing.

Cases Where Aqua Peel Treatment May Be Considered

1. Individuals concerned with issues such as sebum, blackheads, and whiteheads

This includes individuals concerned about clogged pores in specific areas like the nose, chin, and forehead.

If you wish to manage sebum with a less irritating method, it's best to consult with a specialist to make a decision.

2. When makeup doesn't adhere well and skin texture feels rough

This applies to individuals who experience frequent flaking or difficulty with foundation adhering to the skin, leading to makeup challenges.

In such cases, treatment may be considered with the expectation of smoother skin texture and better makeup adherence.

3. Individuals with oily skin or those who feel excessive oiliness in the T-zone

This includes individuals who experience excessive oil secretion, especially in summer, or feel severe skin greasiness.

This can be a suitable treatment for those with oily or combination skin, where pores appear enlarged or sebum secretion is high.

4. Comedonal skin with a risk of acne development

This refers to skin in its early stages, where whiteheads or blackheads frequently appear and can later develop into inflammatory acne.

By managing comedones in advance, before skin problems worsen, you can reduce the burden on your skin.

5. For those with sensitive or thin skin who are cautious about laser treatments

This can be a suitable management method for those with sensitive skin who hesitate to undergo laser or strong treatments.

If you wish for consistent management while minimizing skin irritation, this is a worthwhile option to consider.

6. When skin condition adjustment is needed before laser or skin booster treatments

Clearing away accumulated dead skin cells and excessive sebum helps increase the absorption rate of active ingredients from subsequent treatments.

This can contribute to more satisfying results from subsequent treatments.

7. For those who wish to consistently manage their overall skin condition

You can expect improvements in skin texture and tone through regular management, especially when dead skin cells increase due to seasonal changes.

This is a worthwhile management method to try when your skin feels dull or has a rough, uneven texture on the surface.

Aqua Peel Treatment Recommended Frequency

1. Skin with active oil and sebum secretion and comedonal acne

Recommended treatment frequency: 2 weeks

For skin with active sebum secretion where comedones like whiteheads or blackheads frequently occur, it is beneficial to periodically reduce the burden on the sebaceous glands.

Focus on consistent management in the early stages to balance sebum and prevent acne from worsening.

2. Skin where blackheads and whiteheads frequently appear due to clogged pores

Recommended treatment frequency: 2-3 weeks

Regular management is recommended to prevent sebum from hardening and accumulating within pores.

By removing waste products from within the pores, the pore condition can gradually improve through consistent management.

3. Sensitive and dry skin requiring simultaneous exfoliation and soothing care

Recommended treatment frequency: 3-4 weeks

If the skin barrier is easily damaged, it is important to minimize irritation and continue with moisturizing and soothing care.

This contributes to maintaining a healthy skin barrier and can help keep the skin texture moisturized and soft.

4. For those who wish to manage and improve skin texture and tone without specific problems

Recommended treatment frequency: 4 weeks

Even without major skin concerns, this treatment is recommended when you wish to consistently maintain a clean skin texture and clear skin tone.

It can help establish healthy skin care habits and, if you are undergoing other treatments, maintain their satisfaction.

5. When preparing skin condition before laser or skin booster treatments

Recommended timing: 3-5 days before the respective treatment

By clearing away old dead skin cells and sebum, the absorption rate of active ingredients for subsequent treatments can increase, improving overall satisfaction.

As a result, the active ingredients of the next treatment can work more effectively on the skin, helping to achieve the desired outcomes.
