“Don’t most things with ‘-peel’ in the name basically just mean some kind of exfoliating treatment that scrapes off dead skin?

But people also say the effects are just so-so, so why would it be worth getting?”

Whenever I hear this kind of thing, I feel sorry. It seems that misconceptions about Aqua Peel are more widespread than I expected.

There are quite a few cases where people are disappointed without really knowing Aqua Peel’s exact characteristics, thinking that it is irritating and therefore bad for the skin, or that it is not an effective skincare treatment.

So today, I’ll take a closer look at the principles and effects of Aqua Peel and organize everything so we can clear up these misunderstandings.

Irritating and Barely Effective?

  • Is it bad to get because it is irritating to the skin?

  • Did you get it and find the effect was minimal?

Is it bad to get because it is irritating to the skin?

Seeing the word “-peel,” you may think of a strong peeling process, so let’s first look at the principle and procedure of Aqua Peel.

Aqua Peel uses a solution containing AHA and BHA to gently dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, then removes them by suction with a machine.

In other words, it uses two methods together: chemical dissolution and physical extraction.

First, in step 1, an AHA solution gently dissolves the old dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. This loosens the hardened outer layer of dead skin.

Then in step 2, a BHA solution is applied, and because it is oil-soluble, it penetrates well into oily sebum.

It then dissolves waste such as blackheads, whiteheads, and clumps of sebum lodged deep in the pores, while at the same time suctioning them out with the machine.

Step 3 is the finishing step, in which moisturizing and soothing solutions are filled into the cleanly cleared pores. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins are used to supply moisture and calm the skin.

As you can see from the process, there is no artificially forceful scraping of dead skin or any step that applies strong pressure.

That is why it is actually known as a low-irritation procedure. Many people who are trying professional skin care for the first time at a clinic often get it without much 부담.

Did you get it and find the effect was minimal?

Cases where people do not see results after Aqua Peel are usually because they had it only once or twice and then stopped, or because the treatment interval was too long.

First of all, our skin is always producing sebum. Dead skin cells also keep accumulating. These need to be regularly managed for the skin to become smooth and clear.

Just because you cleaned out the pores thoroughly once does not mean waste will never build up in the pores again.

It is similar to cleaning something only once in your life and expecting the surroundings to stay clean forever.

So after getting it once or twice, you may think the effect is good, but when dead skin cells and waste start to build up again,

“Ugh, Aqua Peel doesn’t work.”

That is how comments like that come up.

Therefore, it is better to manage it at regular intervals while considering your skin condition and the cycle of dead skin cell production.

However, for people who receive Aqua Peel regularly, it is common to start with a fixed interval and then gradually lengthen that interval.

Because the condition of the pores improves, you can think of it as an accumulated effect that means you do not need to get it as often.

Today, based on the principles and effects of Jamshil Aqua Peel, we took time to correct some widespread misconceptions.

Aqua Peel is a low-irritation procedure that can also help with pore care, but it is more accurate to view it as part of ongoing maintenance rather than something to expect dramatic change from after just one or two sessions.

Also, if you are considering the procedure, I hope you will get it at a place that carefully checks skin conditions such as sebum production, the degree of blackheads, pore size, and whether there is inflammation.

In addition to that process, please remember that you are more likely to see better results at a place that carefully plans whether Aqua Peel is truly needed, and if so, how the treatment interval and intensity should be set.

Thank you. This was UNI&I in Jamshil.^^
