Body Acne (Back and Chest Acne)

A Systematic Approach to Skin Concerns

Compared to facial skin, the back and chest areas

have a thick stratum corneum, deep pores, and a high sebum secretion.

Due to these characteristics, acne, once it appears, does not easily disappear,

leaving behind hyperpigmentation, which can deepen patients' concerns.

We, considering the structural characteristics of body skin,

peeling, soothing, extraction, and recovery steps in a systematic manner to

operate a 'dedicated body acne management program'.

1. Jessner Peel

A peel suitable for body acne management

Jessner peel

salicylic acid and lactic acid as its main ingredients,

a method consistently used for body acne management.

It is highly suitable for areas like the back or chest, which have thick dead skin cells and deep pores.

It can help improve body acne that has persisted for a long time.

You can also have expectations for the management of hyperpigmentation (PIH) remaining after acne occurs.

Since the recovery period (downtime) is not long, you can consider the procedure relatively comfortably.

We

utilize Jessner peel as a basic step for body acne management.

2. Body Aladdin Peel

An Advanced Peel for Those with Keratosis Pilaris

If keratosis pilaris or pustular acne is prominent,

or if acne repeatedly appears on the back,

more intensive peeling treatment may be considered.

Body Aladdin peel

is a peel that offers greater expectation for exfoliation and sebum control than Jessner peel.

It can be selected and performed as needed.

Back and shoulder areas with thick keratin buildup

Cases with long-standing hyperpigmentation

Recurrent inflammatory acne

This procedure may require some recovery time. It is recommended for those who expect more significant changes than Jessner peel.

3. Post-Procedure Soothing Care

Care Using Cryo Soothing Management and Jaundo Body Mummy Pack

Body skin, irritated after peeling,

can recover more comfortably through immediate soothing.

After Jessner peel procedure, we proceed with the following two care steps.

Cryo Soothing Management

It helps relieve heat and erythema and regulate skin temperature.

Body Jaungo Mummy Pack Application Steps

Utilizing Jaungo herbal medicine extract, it helps to hydrate and soothe the skin, while also assisting in protecting the skin barrier.

After treatment, it reduces irritation and helps keep the skin comfortable until the next day.

Applying a detailed, step-by-step soothing process after peeling treatments,

This is our clinic's approach for delicate and careful management.

4. Body Acne Extraction Requires a Careful Approach

Acne that occurs on the back and chest

If improperly extracted, scars, indentations, hyperpigmentation are highly likely to occur.

These are areas with a high risk of skin damage.

At our clinic, we avoid indiscriminate simple extractions and take a cautious approach.

Our Clinic's Delicate Extraction Approach

If necessary, we first create micro-channels in the skin with needling to prevent inflammation from rupturing internally.

Delicate Needling Technique

Considering the direction of body hair, or the direction of the pores, we perform micro-needling.

Through this method, we focus on minimizing skin damage.

This allows us to reduce the likelihood of scarring and perform extractions more carefully.

As a result, we can expect a positive impact on recovery speed.

When managing body acne, extraction is not merely an optional process,

but an essential step that must be performed in the correct manner.
