Men's Skincare: 3 Reasons You Shouldn't Miss Out Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Men's skin care is still often perceived as a secondary concern rather than an essential part of their routine by many.

If the habit of simplifying the basic skincare routine to one or two steps after washing the face continues, it becomes difficult to identify the cause even if skin problems gradually emerge.

In this content, we have organized several reasons why men's skin care is important, from three perspectives.

Reason 1. Excessive sebum and clogged pores can occur

Clogged pores, blackheads, and excessive sebum secretion are skin problems that can be expected to improve through Aqua Peel treatment.

If daily cleansing is a process of cleaning the skin surface, then clearing waste products deep within the pores is an area that requires professional care.

Aqua Peel is a type of water peeling treatment performed using a vacuum suction method and a special acidic solution.

This treatment gently loosens and removes sebum, old dead skin cells, and blackheads within the pores with a special solution, while simultaneously using a suction head to cleanly extract them.

Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, involves minimal pain, and allows you to return to daily life immediately afterward.

While dead skin cells and blackheads on the skin surface may show some improvement immediately after treatment, changes in pore size can be expected gradually with consistent treatments at 2 to 4-week intervals.

For those with particularly excessive sebum secretion, Gold PTT treatment can also be considered.

After applying and absorbing a special medication containing gold particles into the skin, a Genesis laser is used to raise the skin temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius. In this process, the gold particles denature, which can help selectively suppress sebaceous glands.

Typically, a minimum of 5 or more treatments at 2-week intervals may be recommended, and daily life can be resumed immediately after the procedure without major discomfort.

Reason 2. Skin can be repeatedly irritated by shaving and hair

For men, areas where thick beard hair grows are prone to accumulating skin irritation due to frequent shaving and contact.

Shaving or waxing are temporary hair removal methods, but waxing in particular can cause relatively strong irritation to the skin.

Laser hair removal selectively delivers thermal energy to the melanin pigment within hair follicles, damaging the hair roots and follicular tissue where hair grows, thereby suppressing hair growth.

Laser energy effectively acts on hair follicles rich in melanin pigment and actively growing. Since each hair follicle enters its growth phase at different times, multiple cumulative treatments are necessary to achieve desired results.

Men's beard hair removal typically requires 20 or more sessions over a period of 1 year or more. The recommended treatment interval is a minimum of 3 weeks, generally 4 weeks.

It is recommended to shave before the treatment. If the hair is long, laser energy may be absorbed by the skin surface first, increasing the risk of burns and reducing efficacy as insufficient energy may reach the hair root.

It is important not to pluck hair during the hair removal treatment period. If hair is plucked, there will be no hair root for the laser to target, which can reduce the treatment's effectiveness.

After treatment, shaving is recommended starting from the next day to allow for skin calming.

Due to the nature of the treatment, which delivers heat directly to the hair follicles, folliculitis may occasionally occur. In such cases, consistent application of a regenerative cream tends to gradually alleviate the condition over time.

Even after complete hair removal, maintenance treatments can be considered approximately once every 2 to 3 months. The term 'semi-permanent hair removal' is more appropriate than 'permanent hair removal,' which suggests hair will never grow back.

Reason 3. Pigmentation and overall skin environment management tend to be neglected

Sun protection and adequate moisturization are core elements of basic skin care, regardless of the treatment you receive.

Especially in post-treatment care, it is crucial to pay extra attention to sun protection and use moisturizing products generously, more so than usual.

Since the appropriate management differs depending on the type of blemishes appearing on the skin, an accurate diagnosis must precede treatment. Differentiating between solar lentigines, common blemishes, and seborrheic keratosis, for example, requires examination through precision diagnostic imaging.

The 532nm wavelength has a high melanin absorption rate and primarily acts on the epidermal layer, making it useful for epidermal pigmented lesions such as solar lentigines.

If you wish to manage the overall environment and condition of your skin, LDM treatment can be considered.

LDM delivers energy by continuously changing various frequencies. This creates a superposition effect where three frequencies act simultaneously, which can help improve the skin environment.

This treatment is utilized in a relatively broad range, from managing skin troubles, soothing, and anti-aging, to post-treatment skin recovery, and can be approached as a concept like 'skin savings' through consistent care.

The standard treatment time for one mode is approximately 12 minutes, and a regimen of consistent treatments, totaling 10 sessions at weekly intervals, i.e., over about 3 months, is generally recommended.

Our Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic has the following characteristics

Our clinic's Aqua Peel treatment consists of a total of 5 steps, from the process of softening sebum to finishing with a Jaunggo modeling pack.

At our clinic, we use undiluted, precise quantities of peeling solution, and proceed with the treatment by replacing the tip with a different customized one for each of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd solutions.

Our clinic's hair removal treatment concludes when the client is fully satisfied. Before the treatment ends, we collectively check for any missed areas and obtain final consent before completion.

For thick hair, thermal energy is gently delivered using a long-pulse method to protect the epidermis. For areas with dense hair, energy is effectively dispersed, and even for darker skin tones, the output is precisely adjusted for treatment.

We are equipped with verified devices such as Apogee and GentleMax, which are utilized in our treatments.

Our clinic's Gold PTT is meticulously performed with over 2,000 shots at an intensity of 5-6J, and we transparently disclose the number of shots administered during the treatment for clients to verify directly.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we use genuine LDM equipment for treatments over a set duration. The effect on deep tissues, difficult to achieve with home devices, is a key feature of medical-grade LDM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many times should men receive skin care treatments?

A. The recommended number of men's skin care treatments varies depending on the type of procedure. For Aqua Peel, satisfactory results can usually be expected with consistent treatments every 2-4 weeks. For Gold PTT, it's generally 5 sessions or more at minimum 2-week intervals, and for hair removal, 10 sessions or more. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we thoroughly diagnose each individual's skin condition to propose a suitable treatment plan.

Q. Can men also return to daily life immediately after Aqua Peel?

A. Most men can return to daily life immediately after an Aqua Peel treatment. Occasionally, slight tingling or temporary redness may appear on the skin. On the day of the procedure, it is best to avoid using scrubs or toners with strong acidic ingredients. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we provide detailed explanations of post-treatment precautions and care methods.

Q. Should men shave before beard hair removal treatment?

A. When visiting for beard hair removal, it is recommended to shave beforehand. If the hair is too long, the laser energy can concentrate on the skin's surface, increasing the risk of burns. At our clinic, we always carefully check the skin and hair condition before starting the treatment.
