Aqua Peel Management Starting with Sebum Softening

Features of Kkeut Clinic's Aquapeel

1. 5-Step Detailed Protocol

We provide Aquapeel treatment consisting of a total of five steps, from sebum softening to thorough calming, rather than a simple 3-step procedure.

2. Use of Undiluted Solution

All AHA, BHA, and soothing ingredients are used in their original, undiluted concentrations to help improve skin.

3. Ample Action Time for Each Step

We proceed with the treatment leisurely, without rushing, to allow each solution to act sufficiently on the skin.

This is possible thanks to our medical system that focuses on each individual patient.

4. Finishing with Jaungo Herbal Soothing Pack

Utilizing traditional Korean medicine-based soothing ingredients, it alleviates post-treatment heat and irritation and helps restore the skin barrier.

What makes Kkeut Clinic's Aquapeel different?

1. Aquapeel Composed of a 5-Step Precise Protocol

Aquapeel procedures are often performed in 3 steps.

At Kkeut Clinic, through a total of 5 steps from the X-peel phase to the soothing pack, we go beyond simply removing sebum to delicately manage overall skin condition.

Step 1: X-peel (Sebum Softening) – A weakly acidic solution gently loosens the adhesion of dead skin cells and sebum.

Step 2: AHA Exfoliation – Lactic acid and glycolic acid are used to refine surface dead skin cells and smooth skin texture.

Step 3: BHA Sebum Dissolution – Salicylic acid penetrates inside the sebaceous glands to help remove sebum and blackheads.

Step 4: Hydration & Soothing – Hyaluronic acid, panthenol, aloe, etc., provide moisture to the skin and stabilize the barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – Herbal soothing ingredients alleviate heat and irritation, and aid in anti-inflammatory care.

2. Use of Undiluted Solution as is

To effectively manage sebum or blackheads, the concentration of the solution is important.

At Kkeut Clinic, we use AHA, BHA, and moisturizing soothing agents 'as undiluted solution'.

By applying ingredients at their original, undiluted concentrations tailored to your skin type, positive results in sebum removal and exfoliation can be expected.

3. Ensuring Ample Action Time for Each Step – No Rushing

To enhance the effectiveness of Aquapeel, it is important to apply each step slowly, with sufficient time, and accurately.

At Kkeut Clinic, we ensure ample time for each step's solution to act, allowing sebum and dead skin cells to be effectively separated and dissolved.

This is not merely a superficial treatment, but rather a delicate procedure design based on considering the reactions of each skin layer.

This differentiated care is possible thanks to a system that allows us to focus on each patient individually and dedicate sufficient time.

4. Traditional Korean Medicine-Based Soothing Finish – Jaungo Modeling Pack

Some Aquapeel procedures may have insufficient soothing steps, which can lead to the skin becoming more sensitive.

At Kkeut Clinic, in the final step, we apply Jaungo, a traditional Korean medicine soothing ingredient, in the form of a modeling pack,

to strengthen the skin barrier function and help quickly soothe skin irritated by the treatment.

This is a meticulously designed soothing treatment that even those with sensitive or acne-prone skin can comfortably receive.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling procedure that gently removes old dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads without strong physical irritation to the skin, using moisturizing and weakly acidic solutions.

It's convenient to understand it as an 'integrated cleansing and soothing treatment' that doesn't strain the skin while simultaneously providing cleansing, hydration, and soothing.

It's common for people with a lot of dead skin cells or accumulated sebum on their nose to manually extract or use exfoliants at home.

However, strong irritation can potentially damage the skin barrier.

Aquapeel alleviates these concerns, gently refining the skin through a weakly acidic solution sprayed by specialized equipment and suction power.

Principle of Aquapeel

1. Dual Action Using Spray and Vacuum Suction

It gently sprays a solution onto the skin while simultaneously using vacuum suction to remove impurities such as old dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads.

This method is designed to cleanse impurities thoroughly with less skin irritation, without the need for separate scrubbing.

2. Deep Cleansing Through Sebaceous Gland Pressure Regulation

A constant pressure naturally exists within the sebaceous glands and pores.

Aqua Peel is a treatment that uses negative pressure, or the principle of vacuum suction, to draw sebum out from within the pores.

As the pressure inside the pores decreases during this process, the likelihood of inflammation may also be reduced.

Consequently, it can help improve the environment that makes skin prone to acne.

3. Three Key Ingredients Used in Step-by-Step Skin Care

AHA (Water-soluble): Gently softens old dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface, contributing to a smoother skin texture.

Accumulation of dead skin cells can make the skin tone appear dull or reduce makeup adherence.

BHA (Oil-soluble): Penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve sebum and gently manage blackheads and whiteheads.

Ingredients like salicylic acid can work deep inside the pores, which may be useful for cleansing pore impurities.

Hydrating & Soothing Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, aloe, panthenol, etc., help to hydrate the skin and alleviate discomfort caused by external irritation.

These can play an important role in reducing skin tightness or sensitive reactions that may occur after treatment.

4. Systematic Step-by-Step Skin Purification

This treatment proceeds in a total of 5 steps: softening sebum, dissolving dead skin cells, cleansing sebum, followed by hydration and soothing processes.

It is designed for the skin to respond stably to each step, offering benefits in reducing irritation and maintaining skin condition.

5. Peeling that Also Considers Skin Barrier Management

While typical peels tend to focus primarily on exfoliating dead skin cells,

Aqua Peel is a management method that can help stabilize and soothe the skin barrier while minimizing irritation.

It can be described as a peel that cleanses the skin while also offering moisturizing and soothing effects.

Cases Where Aqua Peel May Be Suitable

1. Skin Concerned with Sebum, Blackheads, and Whiteheads

Individuals with noticeable clogged pores in the nose, chin, and forehead areas.

Those who desire sebum management without manual extraction may consider this.

2. Individuals with Poor Makeup Adherence and Uneven Skin Texture

Skin conditions where foundation doesn't apply evenly due to lifted dead skin cells.

Those seeking smoother skin texture and improved makeup adherence often choose this.

3. Oily Skin or Excessive Oiliness in the T-zone Area

Skin that experiences increased oil secretion or prominent shininess, especially during summer.

Oily and combination skin types concerned with enlarged pores and excessive sebum secretion.

4. It also helps manage comedonal skin before it develops into acne.

It can be suitable for skin that frequently shows whiteheads or blackheads and is in the pre-inflammatory stage.

It can be considered when you want to manage early comedones before skin troubles worsen.

5. It can be comfortably received by those with sensitive or thin skin types who feel burdened by laser treatments.

It is suitable for those who react easily to irritation and are hesitant about laser or strong treatments.

We recommend it to those who prefer stable management while gently soothing the skin.

6. It is also used as a pre-treatment process to prepare the skin condition before receiving laser or skin booster treatments.

By tidying up dead skin cells and excessive sebum on the skin surface, it can contribute to increasing the absorption rate of other treatment ingredients.

It is worth considering when you want to anticipate positive responses and effects from subsequent treatments.

7. This is for those who want to improve overall skin condition through a consistent and regular skin care routine.

It is recommended for those who experience increased dead skin cells in certain seasons, or who want to regularly manage their skin texture and tone.

You can consider the treatment when your skin tone is dull or you feel a lack of uniformity in your skin texture.

Recommended Aqua Peel Treatment Cycle

1. Oily skin, skin with high sebum secretion, or skin with comedonal acne.
