Acne Herbal Treatment at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic

A Different Approach from Conventional Acne Medications, Herbal Treatment with Reduced Burden on the Body

01. Distinctive Features of Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Herbal Acne Medication

1) Reduces the burden on your body.

Generally, when acne symptoms worsen,

• 
  
• 
  
• dermatologists typically use antibiotics (such as Minocin, Doxycycline, etc.) or
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• commonly prescribe sebum regulators (isotretinoin-based medications).
• 
  
• 
  

These treatments can certainly be effective. However, it is known that they can affect not only the skin but also the entire body, potentially leading to issues such as dryness, gastrointestinal problems, fluctuating liver enzyme levels, and an imbalance in gut bacteria.

Specifically, isotretinoin (isotretinoin-based) medications have been reported to cause side effects such as an increased risk of birth defects, joint pain due to decreased joint fluid, and worsening depression. For these reasons, a cautious approach is taken for mild to moderate acne, and regular monitoring is essential when taking these medications.

In contrast, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Sipmipadoksan-based herbal acne medication has been used for a long time in Korean traditional medicine and Japanese clinical practice, and is based on a prescription with rare reports of specific adverse reactions even with long-term use.

Naturally, it can also help improve acne.

In other words,

• 
  
• 
  
• it does not affect beneficial bacteria like antibiotics do,
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• nor does it excessively suppress sebum like isotretinoin.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The prescription is also formulated to reduce the burden on liver function.
• 
  
• 
  

Some individuals express concerns about liver function when taking herbal medicine. However, the actual risk of hepatotoxicity tends to be more frequently reported with isotretinoin or certain antibiotics. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's prescription is considered to have a relatively high safety profile.

2) Accessible at a reasonable cost

Many people worry about the cost of herbal medicine.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's herbal acne medication focuses on the single goal of acne improvement, with a streamlined prescription. We have avoided unnecessarily expensive ingredients to reduce the financial burden.

Therefore,

• 
  
• 
  
• As a result, you can try it at a relatively affordable price, even on a monthly basis.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• If needed, it is also structured to allow for trial consumption in 10-day units.
• It is designed this way.
• 
  
• 
  

This is a consideration made to allow you to comfortably begin herbal acne treatment without feeling overwhelmed.

3) An approach applicable to various acne types

The main action of this herbal medicine is to regulate the skin environment itself where inflammation occurs.

Acne is caused by excessive sebum,

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. proliferation of acne bacteria (C. acnes),
4. 
   
5. 
   
6. 
   
7. and a complex interplay of inflammatory responses.
8. 
   
9. 
   
10. 
    
11. Occasionally, attempts to resolve only sebum issues lead to unsatisfactory results.
12. 
    
13. 
    

These four stages combine to cause acne, but many people try to address only the first stage and fail.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's herbal acne medication can be particularly effective in controlling acne bacteria and managing inflammatory responses.

Therefore,

• 
  
• 
  
• Acne with excessive sebum: Can help reduce the likelihood of sebum developing into inflammation.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Recurrent acne with less sebum: Can help regulate the inflammatory conversion rate in individuals who easily develop inflammation from minor irritations.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Sensitive skin prone to irritation: Can help alleviate persistent redness and heat sensations after inflammatory reactions.
• 
  
• 
  

This herbal medicine differs from methods that affect beneficial bacteria like antibiotics or excessively suppress sebum like sebum regulators.

This approach aims to alleviate acne symptoms while considering a healthy balance of the skin and body.

4) Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Sipmipadoksan-based Prescription

This prescription is based on Sipmipadoksan (十味敗毒散), which has been utilized in Korean traditional medicine for a long time. Sipmipadoksan can be primarily used for inflammatory skin conditions, folliculitis, chronic breakouts, and acne management.

This herbal medicine prescription is frequently discussed in research related to acne.

At our clinic, we have added additional measures to the existing prescription.

• 
  
• 
  
• Herbal ingredients that help quickly soothe inflammatory reactions
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Herbal ingredients effective in alleviating redness (erythema)
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Herbal ingredients that can contribute to skin barrier recovery
• 
  
• 
  

These are blended in small amounts and adjusted to be more suitable for acne management.

This prescription was developed by adding herbal ingredients specifically for acne management to the basic Sipmipae Dok San (十味敗毒散) formulation.

5) Convenient Stick-Type Herbal Medicine

Traditional decoctions can be inconvenient to prepare and store, and their strong, unique scent can make them difficult for some people to take.

Our clinic's acne herbal medicine is

• 
  
• 
  
• packaged in a convenient squeeze-and-eat stick form.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• It can be consumed without water.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• We have reduced the bitterness and adjusted the taste to be similar to popular red ginseng sticks, reducing the burden of consumption.
• 
  
• 
  

Thanks to this format, even those who found it difficult to take herbal medicine can consume it comfortably.

We believe this method is suitable for those who recognize the benefits of decoctions but found it difficult to take them consistently.

02. Why Sipmipae Dok San (十味敗毒散) Was Chosen

Sipmipae Dok San (十味敗毒散) is also known as 'Jūmihaidokutō' in Japan and is one of the herbal medicine prescriptions used for acne-prone skin problems.

According to relevant research and reports,

• 
  
• 
  
• it can help alleviate inflammatory signals caused by acne bacteria (which cause skin redness and swelling),
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• and it can also reduce the tendency for inflammatory reactions to progress in the skin.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• There are reports stating that it can contribute to reducing secondary problems caused by repeated inflammation (e.g., hyperpigmentation, red marks, etc.),
• 
  
• 
  

among other findings.

It is notable that this herbal medicine does not simply suppress sebum.

Sebum has necessary functions for the body, so rather than indiscriminately suppressing it excessively, regulating inflammation may be more desirable for long-term skin health.

Considering these characteristics,  our clinic suggests acne herbal medicine that causes less burden even when used in conjunction with laser treatments, extractions, and soothing care.
