Among those searching for dermatological acne treatment, it's rare to find someone who hasn't tried popping their own pimples by hand.

While it might feel satisfying immediately after, as if the sebum has been extracted, often the skin becomes redder or hyperpigmentation is left behind.

Acne is broadly categorized into non-inflammatory and inflammatory types.

Non-inflammatory acne occurs when pores are clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. This includes blackheads, which appear dark when open pores are exposed to air and oxidize, and whiteheads, which appear as white bumps when pores are closed.

Inflammatory acne is a stage where bacteria invade clogged pores, causing redness and swelling. As it progresses to pustules filled with pus, or deeper inflammation like nodules and cysts, the risk of scarring increases.

Why does popping make it worse?

Even if attempted during the comedone stage, self-extraction damages surrounding tissue.

When pressure is applied, the sebaceous film within the skin can rupture, allowing inflammation-causing substances to flow deeper into the dermis. This process damages the tissue around the pores, often leading to hyperpigmentation or pitted scars during recovery.

The same reason applies to why inflammatory acne leaves deep scars when forcibly popped. Bacteria and pus spread to the surroundings, causing inflammation over a wider area. In areas where the epidermis is damaged, pigment cells can be stimulated, leading to hyperpigmentation.

Why AquaPeel is chosen as a primary approach

AquaPeel is a water-jet cleansing treatment.

Acidic peeling solutions containing salicylic acid and glycolic acid are penetrated into the pores to break down sebum and dead skin cells, while a suction head simultaneously extracts impurities. Because it cleanses the inside of the pores without physically abrading or damaging the skin surface, the treatment burden is low.

This principle explains why AquaPeel is chosen as the first step in dermatological acne treatment. Since acne at the comedone stage is caused by clogged pores, safely removing sebum and dead skin cells from within the pores is key to initial management.

A typical AquaPeel uses three sequential solutions. The first solution (Step 1) dissolves dead skin cells, the second solution (Step 2) suctions sebum and whiteheads, and the third solution (Step 3) provides a soothing finish. The basic protocol involves using different tips and solutions for each stage.

Reasons why it's a low-burden treatment for early/mild acne

AquaPeel is virtually painless. During the treatment, you might feel the sensation of a vacuum suction head touching your skin, and anesthesia is not required.

Temporary redness may appear after the procedure but subsides within a few hours. There is virtually no downtime, so daily activities can be resumed immediately on the day of the treatment. Light makeup is also possible 1-2 hours later.

A single session typically takes a short average of about 30 minutes, and the barrier to entry is lower compared to laser or injection treatments. It serves as a suitable starting point for those new to dermatological acne treatment or those with sensitive skin who find strong treatments overwhelming.

Even with a single session, the pore cleansing effect can be immediately felt. You can observe changes such as refined skin texture and reduced impurities within the pores. Changes in pore size or sebum secretion control become more apparent with cumulative treatments at 2-4 week intervals.

The Difference of Kkeut Clinic's AquaPeel

At Kkeut Clinic, we perform a total of 5-step AquaPeel, starting with a sebum softening phase and finishing with a Jaungo modeling pack. Cleansing should begin after adequately softening the sebum to increase the efficiency of removing impurities from the pores, and the Jaungo modeling pack contributes to skin soothing and barrier formation after the treatment.

Kkeut Clinic uses undiluted, precise amounts of peeling solution. While diluting the solution may lower the cost, it also reduces its efficacy. Kkeut Clinic uses the undiluted solution in precise amounts to fully deliver the effects of each step's solution.

At Kkeut Clinic, we replace the tip to match each of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd solutions during the treatment. Reusing the same tip can mix the characteristics of each stage's solution and reduce cleansing efficiency. Replacing with a dedicated tip for each stage is the way to ensure each solution performs its function properly.

These three protocols are why Kkeut Clinic's AquaPeel does not merely remain at a general cleansing level but makes a substantial difference as an initial management for dermatological acne treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. If I receive AquaPeel for dermatological acne treatment, will my existing acne disappear?

A. AquaPeel is a primary approach to dermatological acne treatment, focused on cleansing sebum and dead skin cells from within the pores. It is effective for managing comedonal acne and suppressing recurrence. For severe inflammatory nodular or cystic acne, AquaPeel alone has limitations, and additional treatment may be necessary.

Q. I'm receiving dermatological acne treatment for the first time; is AquaPeel the right starting point?

A. For those starting dermatological acne treatment for the first time, AquaPeel is a low-burden choice. It is virtually painless with no downtime, making it suitable for assessing your skin condition and planning a gradual management approach. At Kkeut Clinic, we guide you through the appropriate treatment sequence based on your current skin condition after consultation.

Q. How often should I receive AquaPeel for dermatological acne treatment?

A. For dermatological acne treatment management, AquaPeel is generally recommended at 2-4 week intervals. While immediate effects can be felt with a single session, the improvement in pore condition and sebum secretion control accumulates with successive treatments. Adjusting the frequency according to your skin condition is advisable.

Q. Can sensitive skin types also receive AquaPeel for dermatological acne treatment?

A. Sensitive skin types can also receive AquaPeel for dermatological acne treatment. The solution concentration and suction intensity are adjusted according to skin condition to minimize irritation. At Kkeut Clinic, we assess your skin condition before the procedure and apply a customized protocol.
