[Steroid 0%] Natural-derived Soothing Anti-inflammatory Herbal Injection

What Makes Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-Inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture Special

1. This treatment manages inflammation without using steroids.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture differs in its approach from typical steroid injection treatments using triamcinolone (TA) compounds.

While steroids can quickly reduce inflammatory responses, they carry the risk of various side effects, including skin atrophy, hyperpigmentation, capillary dilation, and rebound flare-ups.

For these reasons, repeated use can be problematic and may not be ideal for long-term skin health.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses a sterile, purified herbal acupuncture solution containing ingredients like Coptis, Gardenia, Scutellaria, and Phellodendron, which help with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

This approach calms inflammation by encouraging the skin to heal itself, rather than merely suppressing it.

Since it contains no steroids, there is minimal burden on the skin barrier and tissues even after treatment.

2. It is suitable not only for acute inflammation but also for managing chronic and recurring inflammation.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture can be directly injected into areas of acute inflammation, such as acne, papules, and pimples accompanied by redness and heat, helping to calm the inflammatory response.

Clinically, we often observe a reduction in redness, pain, and swelling within 1 to 3 days.

However, unlike typical anti-inflammatory injections, this herbal acupuncture is not a treatment solely applicable during the acute inflammatory phase.

It can be applied multiple times with relatively little burden to areas where inflammation repeatedly recurs, such as the chin, cheekbones, forehead, and around the mouth.

It reduces concerns about cumulative side effects from steroids and can be used as part of a long-term treatment routine to manage inflammation.

According to a study that utilized Coptis Detoxification Decoction herbal acupuncture,

A study reported a significant improvement in the acne inflammation grade (based on KAGS) for patients who received weekly treatments for 10 weeks (average change from 3.59 to 1.95, p<0.001).

Thus, the ability to comprehensively manage both acute and recurrent inflammation is a key feature of this treatment.

3. This treatment structure reduces concerns about steroid side effects and allows for multiple sessions.

If steroid injections are given multiple times in the same area, the risk of side effects such as skin atrophy, indentation, or vascular dilation increases.

For these reasons, receiving continuous treatment in the same area where inflammation repeatedly occurs can be a burden for the patient.

However, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture works by helping to balance the immune response rather than forcibly suppressing it, allowing for repeated use even in areas prone to recurring inflammation.

This treatment method may be particularly suitable for individuals with thin, sensitive skin or those who frequently undergo laser procedures.

4. The secret to a thorough treatment lies in our unique approach.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic limits the number of patients seen each day.

This is achieved through a more relaxed appointment structure compared to typical clinic environments.

This relaxed pace goes beyond simply providing a comfortable consultation; it forms a crucial foundation for precise treatments that are highly focused on the patient's response.

During the anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture treatment, the patient's skin reaction is meticulously monitored in real-time,

the dosage of the herbal acupuncture is adjusted in areas where inflammation recurs, or

a method of widely dispersing the injection into boundary areas to prevent inflammation from spreading is also utilized.

This approach allows for personalized treatments rather than a fixed method.

Moving beyond simply injecting herbal acupuncture,

based on clinical data suggesting that inflammation may recur in a given area, we can formulate treatment plans that consider the possibility of recurrence.

In this regard, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture can be considered to provide thorough and precise treatment.

When Anti-Inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture is Recommended

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

It is especially recommended for those with specific areas where inflammation repeatedly occurs, such as the chin, around the mouth, and cheekbones.

When recurring heat or pain appears in the pre-inflammatory stage, early treatment can also provide preventative effects.

2. Skin types concerned about side effects from steroid anti-inflammatory injections.

For those with thin or sensitive skin who worry about indented scars,

or for those who have experienced skin atrophy or hyperpigmentation after previous steroid injections, it can be an excellent alternative.

3. Some individuals may hesitate to take oral medications like antibiotics or sebum regulators due to recurrent skin inflammation.

In such cases, inflammation can be managed with treatments alone, without oral medications.

It may be particularly suitable for those seeking direct anti-inflammatory effects on the inflamed area.

4. This is for those concerned about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by recurrent inflammation.

If you have a skin type prone to frequent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,

calming the skin with herbal acupuncture at the early stage of inflammation can help prevent pigment formation.

5. For those who seek beyond short-term inflammation relief, aiming for recurrence prevention and long-term skin regulation

Herbal anti-inflammatory acupuncture can help suppress temporary inflammation.

At the same time, it can show further promising effects in preventing recurrence and stabilizing skin rhythm by regulating immune responses.

Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture Effects

1. Calming redness and swelling by suppressing inflammatory cytokines

Components such as berberine, baicalin, palmatine, and crocin, extracted from herbal medicines like Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron amurense, and Gardenia jasminoides,

work to reduce the production of inflammation-inducing cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8.

As a result, heat, redness, swelling, and pain in the inflamed area may decrease within 1-3 days after the treatment.

2. Alleviating tissue damage and scar formation through oxidative stress regulation

Baicalin derived from Scutellaria baicalensis and crocin derived from Gardenia jasminoides help reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body.

This may have an effect of protecting skin cells from oxidative damage.

This process can help lower the risk of post-acne hyperpigmentation or pitted scars.

Furthermore, it can positively influence the recovery process of the dermal layer.

3. Stabilizing recurrent inflammation through immune response modulation

Steroids are characterized by strongly suppressing immune responses.

In contrast, herbal acupuncture components help reduce hypersensitive reactions by balancing the skin's immune response.

This can be particularly helpful for individuals who frequently experience inflammation in the same area,

and can be expected to gradually stabilize the skin's recurrence pattern.

4. Helping with acne bacteria and folliculitis through antibacterial and antifungal actions

Berberine from Coptis chinensis and palmatine from Phellodendron amurense are known to have strong antibacterial effects.

This can show a direct inhibitory effect on acne-causing bacteria or bacteria that cause folliculitis.

Therefore, it can be helpful when inflammatory acne or secondary infections due to irritation are suspected.

5. Rapid calming of sensitive skin by assisting skin barrier recovery

Herbal anti-inflammatory acupuncture contributes to preventing dermal structure damage by inhibiting MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) activity within skin cells.

This can promote the recovery of the skin barrier damaged by inflammation.

It can also be applied to calm inflammation in sensitive skin after laser or peeling treatments.
