Treatment Overview
Oxygen Therapy in Korea for back acne is a non-invasive dermatology treatment that uses highly concentrated oxygen, often infused with customized serums (vitamins, antioxidants, antibacterial agents), to deeply cleanse pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, and rejuvenate skin. Oxygen has natural antibacterial and healing properties, making it especially effective for inflamed back acne, clogged pores, and post-acne marks.
In Korean dermatology clinics, oxygen therapy is often delivered via high-pressure oxygen infusion devices or oxygen bubble facials, customized to treat acne-prone back skin. It is commonly combined with blue light therapy, chemical peels, or acne extractions for more comprehensive results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Bacteria Elimination: Oxygen kills P. acnes bacteria responsible for acne breakouts.
- Deep Cleansing: Removes excess oil, impurities, and dead skin cells.
- Redness & Inflammation Relief: Calms active acne and soothes irritated skin.
- Post-Acne Mark Fading: Brightens and evens out dark spots.
- Hydration Boost: Infuses moisture and nutrients into back skin.
