Treatment Overview
Xenoestrogen Detox Therapy is a specialized dermatology and wellness treatment offered in Korean clinics to address hormonal acne caused or worsened by environmental estrogen disruptors. Xenoestrogens are synthetic or naturally occurring compounds found in plastics, pesticides, processed foods, and cosmetics that mimic estrogen in the body, leading to hormonal imbalance, excess sebum production, and acne flare-ups.
In Korea, detox programs combine oral supplements, IV drips, probiotics, and lifestyle guidance to help the body metabolize and eliminate xenoestrogens, restore hormonal balance, and improve skin health. Dermatologists often pair this therapy with acne facials, LED light, or hormonal balance injections for comprehensive care.
Purpose & Benefits
- Hormonal Rebalancing: Reduces estrogen dominance and restores estrogen-progesterone balance.
- Sebum Regulation: Indirectly lowers oil production by stabilizing hormones.
- Inflammation Reduction: Calms cystic and nodular flare-ups.
- Skin Detoxification: Improves the body’s ability to clear hormone-disrupting toxins.
- Scar & Pigmentation Prevention: Prevents worsening of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
- Overall Wellness: Supports liver health, digestion, and metabolism for healthier skin.
Ideal Candidates
Xenoestrogen Detox Therapy in Korea is recommended for:
- Women with hormonal acne linked to menstrual cycles or PCOS.
- Patients with persistent jawline/chin breakouts unresponsive to standard treatments.
- Individuals with high exposure to environmental toxins (plastics, processed foods, cosmetics).
- Patients experiencing hormone-related skin flare-ups alongside fatigue or irregular cycles.
- Those seeking a natural, supportive approach to hormonal acne care.
Possible Risks & Complications
Generally safe, but possible mild effects include:
- Digestive Upset: Temporary bloating with probiotics or detox supplements.
- Headaches or Fatigue: During early detox phases.
- Allergic Sensitivity: Rare, from certain plant-based detox agents.
Korean dermatologists minimize risks with personalized programs and medical-grade supplements.
Surgical Techniques Used
Although non-surgical, Korean dermatology clinics use advanced methods:
- IV Detox Drips: Vitamin C, glutathione, and liver-supporting nutrients.
- Oral Supplements: DIM (diindolylmethane), calcium-D-glucarate, probiotics, and antioxidants.
- Probiotic Therapy: Restores gut balance for improved estrogen metabolism.
- Lifestyle Integration: Guidance on diet and skincare to reduce xenoestrogen exposure.
- Combination Programs: Often paired with LED light, hormonal balance injections, or chemical peels for acne.
Protocol: Typically 6–12 weeks, with regular in-clinic IV drips and daily supplements.
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediately: Patients may feel refreshed after IV drips.
2–4 Weeks: Skin oiliness decreases, inflammation begins to calm.
2–3 Months: Hormonal acne flare-ups reduce significantly; cycle-related breakouts stabilize.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid plastics, processed foods, and xenoestrogen-heavy cosmetics.
- Take prescribed supplements consistently.
- Maintain hydration to support detoxification.
- Use SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect against pigmentation.
Results & Longevity
- After 1 Month: Improved energy and reduced oiliness.
- After 2–3 Months: Noticeable reduction in hormonal breakouts.
- After 6 Months: Long-term hormonal stability, clearer skin, and better overall wellness.
Results are sustainable with continued lifestyle adjustments and periodic maintenance drips.
