Acne on the Body (Back & Chest Acne)

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach to Back and Chest Acne Management

Compared to facial skin, the back and chest areas

have a thicker stratum corneum, deeper pores, and higher sebum secretion.

Due to these characteristics, once it occurs, it can persist for a long time,

and can lead to hyperpigmentation, causing discomfort.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, considering the structure and characteristics of body skin,

exfoliation, inflammation soothing, comedone extraction, and skin recovery processes are integrated into a comprehensive approach.

We offer assistance through our “Body Acne-Specific Management Program.”

1. Jessner Peel Treatment

One of the suitable peelings for body acne management

Jessner Peel,

where salicylic acid and lactic acid components are blended,

is a treatment widely used for body acne management.

It is easy to apply to areas like the back or chest, which have thick stratum corneum and deep pores,

and can help improve recurring body acne issues.

It can also be expected to help manage post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that may result from acne.

With a short recovery period, it can be received relatively comfortably.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic,

we utilize Jessner Peel as a primary initial step for body acne management.

2. Body Algae Peel (Decision made through individual consultation)

A phased peeling option to consider when keratosis pilaris symptoms are prominent

If keratosis pilaris or inflammatory acne symptoms are severe,

or if acne on the back frequently recurs,

more intensive exfoliation management may be necessary.

Body Algae Peel

is a peeling treatment that focuses more on exfoliation and sebum control than Jessner Peel,

and whether it proceeds is determined by the individual's skin condition.

Areas like the back or shoulder line with thick dead skin buildup,

cases with long-standing hyperpigmentation,

and recurring inflammatory acne issues may benefit from this treatment.

As a short recovery period may be required, it may be suitable for those considering more aggressive improvement.

3. Post-Treatment Skin Soothing Management

Management using Cryo Soothing and Jaungo Body Mummy Pack

After a peeling treatment, sensitive body skin

needs immediate soothing to reduce skin irritation and aid recovery.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we proceed with the following two soothing steps after a Jessner Peel treatment.

Cryo Soothing Management

– Helps to alleviate heat and redness on the skin, stabilizing its temperature.

Body Jaungo Mummy Pack Finish

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

It helps reduce post-treatment irritation, allowing the skin to feel comfortable until the next day.

The method of dividing and applying calming steps after peeling,

This meticulous process contributes to enhancing the completeness of the treatment.

4. Body Acne Extraction – This Area Requires More Caution

Acne on the back and chest

if improperly extracted, scars, indentations, pigmentation and other after-effects may remain,

Therefore, this area has a high risk of skin damage.

At our clinic, rather than simply extracting acne, we aim for a cautious approach.

Our Clinic's Delicate Extraction Process

If necessary, by first creating a path using needling, it prevents inflammation from rupturing inside the skin.

Differentiated Needling Technique

Considering the direction of body hair, or the pores, delicate micro-needling

This method minimizes skin damage.

It can help safely perform extractions, leaving minimal scarring.

You can expect the effect of reducing the burden of recovery after the procedure.

For body acne, extraction is not so much an optional process but rather

an important step that must be performed with precision.
