[Skin Soothing and Recovery] Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture
Inflamed acne that is hard and difficult to touch can be a source of concern due to pain and redness. We help calm such inflammation with herbal acupuncture that does not contain steroids, and the process involves ingredients derived from oriental medicinal herbs that help skin recovery. It can also be considered by those who are hesitant about conventional steroid injections for inflammation, aiming to manage inflammatory reactions while reducing the burden on the skin. * VAT separate

Why Kkeut Clinic’s Anti-Inflammatory Acupuncture Is Different
1) Zero steroids—pure anti-inflammatory care
Unlike common triamcinolone (TA) steroid shots, we use only sterile-filtered herbal extracts (Coptis, Gardenia, Scutellaria, Phellodendron). We guide recovery rather than suppress skin. No steroids—no added risk of skin atrophy, telangiectasia, rebound, or pigment issues.
2) Works for acute flares and recurrence control
We inject directly into hot, red, painful acne lesions to calm them—often seeing less redness, pain, and swelling within 1–3 days. Because it’s steroid-free, it’s safe to repeat on relapse-prone zones (jawline, cheeks, forehead, mouth corners) as part of a long-term control routine.
Clinical note: Weekly Coptis-based (Hwangryunhaedok-tang) injections for 10 weeks significantly improved KAGS inflammatory scores (mean 3.59 → 1.95, p<0.001).
3) Designed for repeat use—without steroid side effects
Steroid shots can’t be repeated on the same spot without atrophy risk. Our approach modulates (not suppresses) immune signaling, so it’s suitable for thin/sensitive skin and for patients who frequently get laser treatments.
4) High-fidelity, response-driven technique
We limit daily bookings so we can tailor dosing in real time: increase volume for chronic foci, create a “defensive ring” along spreading borders, and adjust distribution based on live skin response. This isn’t mechanical injection—it’s planned, adjustable treatment that anticipates recurrence patterns.
Who It’s For
- Recurrent, hot, red inflammatory acne (esp. jaw/mouth/cheeks).
- Those wary of steroid shot side effects (atrophy, PIH).
- Patients avoiding antibiotics or systemic sebum suppressants.
- Skin that easily develops PIH after inflammation—early calming helps prevention.
- Anyone seeking not just quick relief but relapse prevention and rhythm stabilization.
How It Helps
- Cytokine down-regulation: Berberine, baicalin, palmatine, crocin help reduce TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 → faster relief of heat, redness, edema, pain (often 1–3 days).
- Oxidative stress control: Baicalin/crocin scavenge ROS → less tissue damage and scar/PIH risk.
- Immune modulation: Calms over-reactivity without blunt suppression → better for recurrent hotspots.
- Antimicrobial action: Berberine/palmatine inhibit acne-related pathogens (e.g., C. acnes) → helpful for folliculitis-type flares.
- Barrier support: MMP moderation aids dermal matrix preservation and post-inflammation recovery (great after lasers/peels).
Treatment Benefits
- Calms inflammatory acne that’s hard to extract
- No steroid risks (atrophy, depressions, PIH)
- Plant-derived, body-friendly actives that promote regeneration
- Suitable for sensitive or frequently treated skin

Q&A
Answers to the questions we hear most.
Can inflammation be calmed with just one session?
Depending on the degree of inflammation, one session might be enough, but in some cases, it may be better to receive 2-3 more sessions. There are individual differences.
Is this the same method as typical dermatological inflammation injections?
The anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture we use does not contain steroids. Therefore, it can reduce concerns about side effects such as skin atrophy, indentation, or hyperpigmentation that can sometimes occur with steroid injections.
Is acne extraction always necessary before herbal acupuncture treatment?
Inflammation extraction is a method to directly remove inflammation-causing substances like pus or sebum. Herbal acupuncture plays a role in calming inflammation and aiding tissue recovery. Especially for pustular inflammation, better results can be expected and skin stability can be enhanced when both treatments are performed together.
Cautions
Results = Treatment × Aftercare. Please follow the notes below.
For about a week after the procedure, it is advisable to refrain from alcohol, tobacco, environments that generate a lot of heat such as saunas, and strenuous exercise.
Bruising or mild swelling may appear in the treated area, and while there are individual differences, these generally tend to subside naturally after about 1 week.
