Kkeut Clinic's Aquapeel: What Makes It Special?

1. Aquapeel Composed of a 5-Step Delicate Protocol

Most Aquapeel treatments typically proceed in a 3-step process.

However, at Kkeut Clinic, the treatment process consists of a total of 5 steps, from the X-peel stage to the soothing pack, aiming for a peeling treatment that goes beyond simply removing sebum to delicately adjust the overall skin condition.

Step 1: X-peel (Sebum Softening) – A weakly acidic solution gently loosens the adhesion between dead skin cells and sebum.

Step 2: AHA Exfoliation – Lactic acid and glycolic acid ingredients refine dead skin cells on the skin surface, helping to improve skin texture.

Step 3: BHA Sebum Dissolution – Salicylic acid works deep within the sebaceous glands to help gently manage sebum and blackheads.

Step 4: Hydration and Soothing – Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe contribute to moisturizing the skin and stabilizing the barrier.

Step 5: Jaungo Modeling Pack – Utilizing an herbal soothing pack to calm heat and irritation that may occur after treatment and provide skin soothing care.

2. Using undiluted solutions without dilution

To effectively manage sebum and blackheads, the concentration of the solution used can be important.

At Kkeut Clinic, all solutions, including AHA, BHA, and soothing moisturizers, are applied in their undiluted form.

By applying undiluted ingredients at their original concentration, tailored to individual skin types, it can help with sebum removal and exfoliation.

3. Ensuring Sufficient Action Time for Each Step

To enhance the effectiveness of Aquapeel, it is important to carefully apply each step with sufficient time.

Kkeut Clinic allocates ample time for the solutions in each step to fully act on the skin, performing the treatment so that sebum and dead skin cells can be gently separated and dissolved.

This is not merely wiping the surface, but is based on a delicate treatment design that meticulously considers the reactions of each skin layer.

More intensive care may be possible in places with systems that minimize waiting times.

4. Soothing Care with a Traditional Korean Medicine-Based Jaungo Modeling Pack

In some Aquapeel treatments, the soothing step may be inadequate, occasionally leading to the skin feeling sensitive after the procedure.

At Kkeut Clinic, in the final step of the treatment, Jaungo, containing traditional Korean medicine ingredients, is applied in the form of a modeling pack,

helping to stabilize the skin barrier and quickly alleviate irritation caused by the treatment.

This soothing care is designed so that even those with sensitive or acne-prone skin can receive it relatively comfortably.

What is Aquapeel?

Aquapeel is a peeling treatment that gently clears waste products such as dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads using moisturizing and weakly acidic solutions, without physical friction or strong irritation.

It can be helpful to understand it as a 'comprehensive skin management' that does not put excessive burden on the skin, while simultaneously offering cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing care.

When dead skin cells accumulate or you feel a lot of sebum around your nose, it's common to extract them yourself at home or use exfoliants.

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

Aquapeel is a treatment method designed to alleviate these concerns, gently refining the skin using weakly acidic solutions sprayed by a device and a suction method.

Aquapeel Treatment Principle

1. Dual Action Through Solution Spray and Vacuum Suction

A specific solution is gently sprayed onto the skin, while vacuum suction technology effectively removes impurities such as old dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads.

This structure helps reduce the burden of irritation on the skin and aids in thorough skin cleansing, even without direct manual rubbing.

2. In-depth Sebum Management Using Sebaceous Gland Pressure Difference

Generally, there is unique pressure within the sebaceous glands and pores.

Aqua Peel treatment uses negative pressure, or vacuum suction, to draw sebum out of the pores.

When the internal pore pressure decreases during this process, the likelihood of inflammation can also be reduced.

As a result, it can help improve skin conditions that are prone to acne.

3. Three Key Ingredients for Step-by-Step Effectiveness

AHA (water-soluble) ingredients gently soften old dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface, refining skin texture to make it smooth.

The accumulation of unnecessary dead skin cells can lead to a dull skin tone or cause makeup to cake.

BHA (oil-soluble) ingredients penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve sebum and gently manage blackheads and whiteheads.

Salicylic acid, a key ingredient, works deep within the pores to effectively maintain pore cleanliness.

Hydrating & soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, and panthenol are blended to moisturize the skin and soothe it from external irritations.

These ingredients play an important role in alleviating dryness or sensitivity of the skin after the treatment.

4. Systematic Step-by-Step Management Considering Skin Condition

Rather than performing all processes at once, Aqua Peel treatment consists of a total of 5 steps: softening sebum → dissolving dead skin cells → removing sebum → followed by sufficient hydration and → skin soothing.

This sequential management induces a stable skin response, reduces the burden of irritation, and helps maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.

5. Peeling That Considers Skin Barrier Restoration

While typical peeling treatments primarily focus on removing the skin's stratum corneum,

Aqua Peel is a soothing-centered treatment that minimizes skin irritation while helping to improve skin barrier function.

It can be described as a peeling that not only creates a clean and refined skin state but also provides sufficient hydration and soothing.

Recommended Aqua Peel Treatment Interval

1. Skin with excess oil, excessive sebum secretion, or comedonal acne

Recommended treatment interval: 2 weeks

For skin with high sebum secretion that easily develops comedones (whiteheads, blackheads), it is helpful to periodically regulate the excessive pressure on the sebaceous glands.

The goal is to consistently manage early on to balance sebum and reduce situations where acne worsens.

2. Skin with clogged pores and frequent blackheads and whiteheads

Recommended treatment interval: 2-3 weeks

Regularly cleaning pores to prevent sebum from hardening and accumulating within them can be helpful.

The goal is to remove sebum from within the pores and gradually improve pore condition through consistent management.

3. Sensitive or dry skin requiring exfoliation combined with soothing care

Recommended treatment interval: 3-4 weeks

For those with a weak skin barrier, it is best to minimize unnecessary irritation and consistently provide moisturizing and soothing care.
