Inflammation Herbal Acupoint Injection - Inflammation Relief without Steroid Injections

Why Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-Inflammatory Acupoint Injection is Different

1. An anti-inflammatory treatment that does not contain steroids.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory acupoint injection takes a different approach than the commonly used triamcinolone (TA) series of steroid injections.

Steroids can quickly reduce inflammation. However, side effects such as skin atrophy, hyperpigmentation, telangiectasia (dilated capillaries), and rebound worsening may occur.

Therefore, repeated use is restricted and may not be suitable for long-term skin management.

At Kkeut, we use a sterile refined herbal acupoint injection solution containing ingredients such as Coptis, Gardenia, Scutellaria, and Phellodendron, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

This acupoint injection helps calm inflammatory reactions by promoting the skin's natural recovery.

It contains absolutely no steroid components and can reduce the burden on the skin barrier and tissues even after the treatment.

2. It can be considered not only for acute inflammation but also in various other cases.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory acupoint injection is directly administered to acute inflammations such as red, hot acne, papules, and pimples to help alleviate them.

Typically, redness, pain, and swelling may be observed to subside within 1 to 3 days after the procedure.

However, it is not a method applicable only during the acute phase, like typical inflammatory injections.

The treatment can be repeatedly applied with relatively less burden to areas where inflammation frequently recurs, such as the chin, cheekbones, forehead, and around the mouth.

It can be utilized as a method for long-term inflammation management, reducing concerns about cumulative steroid side effects.

According to relevant research findings,

Results from 10 weeks of once-weekly Coptis Chinensis Detoxification Acupoint Injection treatment showed a significant improvement in acne inflammatory grade (KAGS criteria) (from an average of 3.59 to 1.95, p<0.001).

Thus, a characteristic of this treatment is its ability to address not only acute inflammation but also chronically recurring inflammation.

3. It reduces the burden of side effects from steroid use, allowing for consideration of repeated treatments.

If steroid injections are frequently administered to the same area, unwanted changes such as skin atrophy, depressions, and vascular dilation may occur.

Therefore, if inflammation repeatedly occurs in a specific area, patients may feel burdened by repeated treatments.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory acupoint injection works by helping regulate immune responses without excessively suppressing them. For this reason, repeated application can be considered for areas where inflammation recurs.

This can be a suitable management method, especially for those with thin or sensitive skin, or those who frequently undergo laser treatments.

4. The Reason for Precise Procedures: A Different Treatment System.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic limits the number of patients seen per day.

We accept fewer appointments than the industry average, ensuring sufficient consultation time.

This goes beyond simply comfortable treatment; it forms the foundation for precise procedures that focus on the patient's reactions.

During the anti-inflammatory acupoint injection procedure, the patient's skin reactions are carefully observed,

The dosage of the acupoint injection is adjusted for areas where inflammation recurs, or

The acupoint injection is widely dispersed and injected into boundary areas to prevent inflammation from spreading.

Thus, we perform customized, adjustable procedures rather than uniform ones.

Beyond simply injecting the acupoint solution,

Based on past clinical data, if an area is judged to have a 'high potential for recurrence,' treatment plans are designed to reflect this.

Therefore, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory acupoint injection can be seen as a treatment that pursues a delicate and precise approach.

Recommended for Anti-Inflammatory Acupoint Injection

1. Individuals who frequently experience inflammatory acne accompanied by redness and heat.

It can be considered, especially when inflammation repeatedly appears in specific areas such as the chin, around the mouth, and cheekbones.

When heat or pain is periodically felt before a breakout, receiving treatment in advance can help prevent the spread of the problem.

2. Skin concerned about side effects from steroid inflammatory injections.

Individuals with thin or sensitive skin who are concerned about developing depressed scars, or

It can be a less burdensome option for those who have experienced skin atrophy or hyperpigmentation after previous steroid injection treatments.

3. If you experience recurring skin inflammation but are hesitant to take oral medications such as antibiotics or sebum regulators

If you are considering only procedures without taking oral medication,

this can be beneficial for those who prefer topical treatments that provide direct anti-inflammatory effects to the inflamed area.

4. If you are concerned about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) due to recurring inflammatory reactions

If your skin frequently develops hyperpigmentation after inflammation subsides,

calming the skin with herbal acupuncture in the early stages of inflammation can help prevent hyperpigmentation.

5. Those who seek long-term management beyond temporary soothing, aiming to prevent the recurrence of inflammation

While herbal acupuncture for inflammation can help with short-term inflammation suppression,

it may be more suitable for regulating immune responses to prevent inflammation recurrence and stabilize skin rhythm.

Effects of Herbal Acupuncture for Inflammation

1. Inhibition of Inflammatory Cytokines: Contributes to reducing redness and swelling

Active ingredients such as berberine, baicalin, palmatine, and crocin, contained in herbal medicines like Coptis, Scutellaria, Phellodendron, and Gardenia,

work to inhibit the production of various inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, which trigger inflammatory responses.

Through these actions, heat, redness, swelling, and pain in the inflamed area can be reduced within 1 to 3 days.

2. Regulation of Oxidative Stress: Reduces the risk of tissue damage and scar formation

Baicalin found in Scutellaria and crocin from Gardenia help eliminate reactive oxygen species,

playing a role in protecting skin cells from oxidative damage.

This process contributes to lowering the risk of hyperpigmentation or depressed scars that can occur after acne,

and can assist in the recovery of the dermal layer.

3. Regulation of Immune Response: Stabilization of recurrent inflammation

While steroid preparations directly suppress immune responses,

the ingredients in herbal acupuncture can regulate the skin's immune response, guiding the skin to not overreact.

This action can be particularly helpful for cases where inflammation frequently recurs in the same area,

and is a treatment method that can contribute to gradually stabilizing the skin's recurrence cycle.

4. Antibacterial and Antifungal Action: Helps improve acne bacteria (P. acnes) and folliculitis, etc.

Berberine from Coptis and palmatine from Phellodendron can offer antibacterial effects,

and there are studies showing direct inhibitory effects on acne-causing bacteria and folliculitis-inducing bacteria.

It can also help alleviate inflammatory acne or skin troubles where secondary infection due to external irritation is a concern.

5. Support for Skin Barrier Recovery: Helps restore sensitized skin

Herbal acupuncture for inflammation inhibits the activity of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) in skin cells, preventing damage to dermal structures,

and can assist in the recovery of the skin barrier damaged by inflammation.

It can also be considered for calming inflammation in a state where the skin has become sensitive, such as after laser treatment or peeling.
