Key Differentiators of Kkeut Clinic's Aquapeel

1. 5-Step Precision Protocol

A structured Aquapeel treatment designed with a total of 5 steps, from sebum softening to soothing, not just a simple 3-step process.

2. Use of Undiluted Solutions

AHA, BHA, and soothing ingredients are all used in their undiluted forms, without dilution, to induce immediate effects.

3. Sufficient Treatment Time

Each step is performed unhurriedly and with ample time, allowing the active ingredients to work effectively.

This is a feature that only clinics with no waiting times can guarantee.

4. Finishing with a Jaungo Traditional Korean Herbal Soothing Pack

Traditional Korean herbal medicine-based soothing ingredients quickly calm heat and irritation, and aid in barrier recovery.

What Makes Kkeut Clinic's Aquapeel Different?

1. Aquapeel Designed with a 5-Step Precision Protocol

Generally, Aquapeel treatments are often performed in just 3 steps.

However, Kkeut Clinic has designed a comprehensive 5-step protocol, from X-peel to a soothing pack, providing a precision peeling treatment that holistically adjusts skin condition, rather than simply removing sebum.

1st Step: X-peel (Sebum Softening) – Loosening dead skin cells and sebum adhesion with a mildly acidic solution

2nd Step: AHA Exfoliation – Removing surface dead skin cells with lactic acid and glycolic acid, refining skin texture

3rd Step: BHA Sebum Dissolution – Salicylic acid penetrates deep into sebaceous glands, removing sebum and blackheads

4th Step: Moisturizing & Soothing – Stabilizing moisture and skin barrier with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, aloe, etc.

5th Step: Jaungo Modeling Pack – Calming heat and irritation with a traditional Korean herbal soothing pack, providing anti-inflammatory care

2. Use of Absolutely Undiluted Solutions

To effectively target sebum and blackheads, the concentration of the solution is crucial.

At Kkeut Clinic, all AHA, BHA, and soothing moisturizers are used 'in their undiluted forms'.

Since ingredients are applied at their original concentrations without dilution, tailored to skin type, they provide excellent immediate sebum removal and dead skin cell refinement.

3. Sufficient Acting Time for Each Step – We Don't Rush

For an effective Aquapeel, each step must be applied slowly, sufficiently, and precisely.

Kkeut Clinic ensures ample time for the active ingredients to work at each step, allowing sebum and dead skin cells to be completely separated and dissolved.

The core is not merely a 'quick clean-up', but a treatment designed with consideration for the skin's response at each layer.

Only clinics with no waiting times can emphasize such differentiators.

4. Finishing with Traditional Korean Herbal Medicine-Based Soothing – Jaungo Modeling Pack

With typical Aquapeel treatments, the post-procedure soothing step is often insufficient, which can make the skin more sensitive.

Kkeut Clinic applies Jaungo, a traditional Korean herbal regenerative ingredient, in the form of a modeling pack in the final step,

strengthening the skin barrier and quickly soothing irritated skin.

This soothing care is designed to be comfortable for even sensitive or acne-prone skin.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling treatment that gently removes impurities like dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads using moisturizing and mildly acidic solutions, without scrubbing or irritating the skin.

It's easy to understand it as an 'all-in-one cleansing & soothing treatment' that provides hydration and soothing simultaneously with cleansing, all without burdening the skin.

Typically, when we have dead skin cells or a nose full of sebum, we might extract them at home or use exfoliators.

However, strong physical irritation can actually damage the skin barrier.

Aquapeel is a safe treatment that gently cleanses the skin using a mildly acidic solution sprayed by a machine and suction power, without such concerns.

Aquapeel Principle

1. Dual Action of Spray + Vacuum Suction

Gently sprays solution onto the skin, while simultaneously vacuuming up dead skin cells, sebum, blackheads, etc.

It's structured to allow for clean skin cleansing without irritation, even without manual rubbing.

2. Removes Deep Sebum by Utilizing Sebaceous Gland Pressure Differences

Sebaceous glands and pores inherently have pressure.

Aqua peel uses negative pressure (vacuum suction) to draw sebum out of the pores.

As internal pressure decreases during this process, the likelihood of inflammation also decreases.

Ultimately, it has the effect of changing the environment itself that is prone to acne.

3. Three Key Ingredients that Act Step-by-Step

AHA (Water-soluble): Dissolves old dead skin cells on the skin's surface, refining skin texture.

Accumulated dead skin cells make the skin dull and prevent makeup from adhering well.

BHA (Oil-soluble): Dissolves sebum inside pores, gently removing blackheads and whiteheads.

Salicylic acid works deep within the pores, making it excellent for pore cleansing.

Moisturizing & Soothing Ingredients: Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, and panthenol provide moisture to the skin and soothe irritation.

They play an important role in preventing the skin from feeling tight or sensitive after the procedure.

4. Systematically Organizes Skin in Stages

This procedure doesn't solve everything at once; it proceeds in 5 steps: softening sebum → dissolving dead skin cells → cleansing sebum → moisturizing → soothing.

Because the skin is designed to react stably in sequence, there is less irritation and the effects last longer.

5. Peeling that Considers Skin Barrier Restoration

While regular peeling focuses on exfoliating the skin,

Aqua peel is a soothing-centered treatment that minimizes irritation while restoring the skin barrier.

In other words, it's a peeling that not only creates a clean, refined skin condition but also cares for moisturized and soothed skin.

Aqua Peel Treatment Cycle

1. Oily Skin / Excess Sebum / Comedonal Acne Skin

Recommended Cycle: Every 2 weeks

Reason: For skin with active sebum secretion and prone to comedones (whiteheads, blackheads), it is important to periodically reduce the pressure on the sebaceous glands.

Purpose: Stabilize sebum balance through initial intensive care, prevent acne worsening

2. Skin with many blackheads and whiteheads, and clogged pores

Recommended Cycle: Every 2-3 weeks

Reason: The key is to periodically remove sebum before it accumulates in the pores.

Purpose: Sebum removal in pores → gradual pore contraction

3. Sensitive / Dry Skin (Exfoliation + Soothing Focus)

Recommended Cycle: Every 3-4 weeks

Reason: Since the skin barrier is weak, it is necessary to minimize irritation and focus on moisturizing and soothing care.

Purpose: Barrier protection + maintain hydrated skin texture

4. Normal Skin / Skin Texture and Tone Improvement Purpose

Recommended Cycle: Every 4 weeks

Reason: For those without major skin troubles but who desire refined skin texture and maintained radiance

Purpose: Healthy skin routine management + maintain treatment effects

5. Pre-treatment for other procedures (Skin boosters, lasers, etc.)

Recommended Timing: Within 3-5 days before the procedure

Reason: Clearing dead skin cells and sebum increases absorption and improves treatment response.

Purpose: Increased absorption → maximize treatment effects
