Back and Chest Acne Concerns [Body Acne Management]

​​

Body Acne (Back Acne & Chest Acne)

Methods for Improving Body Acne at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic

Unlike facial skin, the back and chest areas

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

Due to these characteristics, acne that appears once does not easily disappear,

and often leaves pigmentation, causing concern.

At our clinic, we carefully consider the structure and characteristics of body skin

peeling, soothing, extraction, and recovery, encompassing the entire process of

and operate a "Body Acne Exclusive Protocol."

1. Jessner Peel

A Key Option for Body Acne Management

Jessner Peel

uses salicylic acid and lactic acid as its main ingredients,

and has been used for body acne management for a long time.

Suitable for areas like the back or chest that have a thick stratum corneum and deep pores

It is expected to improve chronic body acne.

It can also help improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne.

The recovery period after the procedure is relatively short, making it a treatment that can be tried without much burden.

At our clinic,

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

2. Body Aladin Peeling (Check Recommended Treatments)

Advanced peeling recommended for prominent follicular keratosis

For those with severe symptoms of keratosis pilaris or pustular acne,

or those who experience recurrent acne on the back,

more intensive peeling treatment can be considered.

Body Aladin Peeling is

a peeling treatment that is more effective at exfoliation and sebum control than Jessner Peel, and is

selected and performed as needed.

Areas like the back and shoulders where thick dead skin cells have accumulated

Cases accompanied by long-standing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Frequent occurrence of inflammatory acne

This procedure requires a short recovery period and is recommended for those who desire more active improvement than what Jessner Peel offers.

3. Post-Treatment Soothing Care

Differentiated care with Cryo-soothing Management and Jaungo Body Mummy Pack

After peeling treatment, irritated body skin

requires immediate soothing for stable recovery.

At our clinic, we proceed with the following steps after Jessner Peel treatment.

Cryo-soothing Management

It helps quickly calm heat and redness, stabilizing skin temperature.

Body Jaungo Mummy Pack Application

Jaungo Hannya extract can help hydrate and soothe the skin, as well as protect its barrier.

This helps reduce irritation after the procedure, allowing the skin to remain comfortable until the next day.

Applying skin soothing steps in multiple stages after peeling is,

a meticulous approach our medical team considers important.

4. Body Acne Extraction: Why Special Caution is Needed

Acne occurring on the back or chest,

if extracted incorrectly, can easily lead to complications such as scars, indentations, or hyperpigmentation, making it

an area with a high risk of skin damage.

Therefore, rather than simple extraction methods, a cautious approach is necessary.

Delicate Considerations During Extraction

If necessary, we first create an exit pathway using needling. This helps prevent inflammatory lesions from rupturing excessively.

Differentiated Needling Approach

Considering the direction of body hair and the flow of pores, we delicately perform micro-needling.

As a result, this can help reduce skin damage.

It contributes to lowering the possibility of scar formation and increasing stability during extraction.

This can lead to reduced recovery burden after the procedure.

In body acne management, extraction is not merely an optional process,

but an essential procedure that requires a precise and meticulous approach.
