Aqua Peel Blackhead Removal: What's the Difference from Manual Extraction? Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Many people repeatedly experience blackheads embedded around their nose, which temporarily seem better when squeezed, but quickly reappear.

While AquaPeel blackhead removal and manual extraction may appear similar on the surface, the processes that occur in your skin are entirely different.

Extraction, why does it keep coming back?

Manual extraction, which involves squeezing with your hands, is a method of physically pushing out sebum clumps that have already emerged from the skin.

The problem is that dead skin cells and residual sebum stuck to the inner walls of the pores are not removed.

If the tissues around the pores are stimulated during the extraction process, it can easily lead to inflammatory reactions and enlarged pores.

The principle of AquaPeel blackhead removal

AquaPeel uses acidic peeling solutions, such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid, to penetrate the pores, breaking down sebum and dead skin cells.

Because the broken-down sebum and blackheads are directly suctioned out by a vacuum head, there's no need to manually press or irritate the skin.

If extraction is a 'pushing out' method, AquaPeel is a 'dissolving and suctioning' method.

Thanks to this difference, while AquaPeel may cause a slight tingling sensation or temporary redness immediately after the treatment, you can virtually return to your daily routine without downtime.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique 5-Step AquaPeel Protocol

Standard AquaPeel treatments often involve 3 steps.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we operate with a total of 5 steps, by adding a separate sebum softening step before the treatment and applying a Jaurungo modeling mask in the final stage.

By first performing the sebum softening step, the peeling solution works on pores where sebum has been sufficiently softened, thereby increasing suction efficiency.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses a different tip for each of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd solutions.

Reusing the same tip for each step can mix residues from the previous stage, so we change tips to ensure each solution performs its intended role completely.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses the peeling solution at its undiluted, full strength.

The Jaurungo modeling mask applied in the final step soothes opened pores after the treatment and forms a moisturizing barrier to help restore the skin's protective barrier.

On the day of the treatment, it is advisable to avoid strong acidic toners or scrub products and to apply sunscreen thoroughly to help maintain the treatment's effects.

AquaPeel blackhead removal can provide a noticeable clearing effect on dead skin cells and blackheads within pores even after a single session, and cumulative treatments at 2-4 week intervals can even lead to changes in pore size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can sensitive skin types also undergo AquaPeel blackhead removal?

A. AquaPeel blackhead treatment can be adapted for sensitive skin by adjusting the solution concentration and contact time. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we first assess your skin condition and then customize the solution strength accordingly.

Q. My pores seem to have enlarged after removing blackheads by extraction; can AquaPeel improve this?

A. While pores enlarged by repeated extractions are difficult to recover instantly, by continuously removing sebum and dead skin cells within the pores through AquaPeel blackhead treatment, you can reduce the causes of clogged pores and gradually expect a pore-tightening effect.

Q. Can I apply makeup immediately after AquaPeel treatment?

A. We recommend allowing your skin to stabilize for 1-2 hours after the treatment before starting with light base makeup. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we ensure sufficient skin soothing with the Jaurungo modeling mask in the final step before providing instructions.

Q. How often should I get AquaPeel blackhead removal?

A. You can experience an immediate blackhead clearing effect with just one session. If you desire changes in pore size and improved skin texture, consistent treatments at 2-4 week intervals are recommended.
