I went to try on a bridal dress. When I was shown my back in the mirror at the end…
For women, a wedding dress is an eternal dream. However, when the wedding ceremony is decided and you try on the dress with excitement, when you look at your back in the mirror at the end, you are very concerned about the bumps, redness, dryness, and dullness of your back! Even though it is a beautiful dress, you are concerned about the skin on your back.
Dresses with a wide open back inevitably expose the rough skin on your back to the view of others. There are dresses designed to cover the back, but you want to wear your favorite dress for your once-in-a-lifetime wedding. It is important to take good care of your back so that you don’t end up having to change into another dress due to lack of care.
I want to do something about the bumps on my back that I didn’t notice
Unlike the face, it is difficult to notice rough skin on the back. Therefore, many people are shocked when they see their back in the mirror and realize how dirty it is.
You want to take good care of your back and have a smooth, beautiful one, but when you see the red bumps, old bumps that have left brown marks, and roughness caused by clogged pores, you can’t help but worry, “Can this be cured?”
Consult a cosmetic dermatologist
In conclusion, if you are concerned about bumps or roughness on your back, you should first consult a cosmetic dermatologist. Since the causes of skin problems vary from person to person, it is important to see a doctor and receive appropriate treatment.
Self-care using body lotions and other products is important, but your back is a difficult area to care for yourself, and depending on your skin condition, you may not notice any changes.
Also, if you receive treatment at an esthetic salon, you can expect skin care effects such as moisturizing, but it will be difficult to address the actual cause of skin problems like you can at a cosmetic dermatology clinic.
If you have a specific date in mind for having beautiful skin, such as for a wedding, it’s a good idea to consult a cosmetic dermatologist early on and have them create a treatment plan to ensure smooth improvement.
Chemical peeling for smooth skin
Among cosmetic dermatology treatments, chemical peeling is a popular treatment for beautiful skin on the back. We will explain chemical peeling in detail.
What is chemical peeling?
Chemical peeling is a treatment in which an acidic agent such as ” glycolic acid ” is applied to the skin to dissolve and peel off old keratin and epidermis. By removing old keratin, the “turnover” process, which is the regeneration of skin cells, is improved.
When cell turnover is disrupted, old dead skin cells accumulate, pores become clogged, causing rough skin, breakouts, and a variety of other skin problems, including the accumulation of melanin pigment, which causes blemishes and dullness.
Chemical peeling is a treatment that not only removes dead skin cells and epidermis to clear clogged pores, but also improves cell turnover, laying the foundation for healthy, beautiful skin.
The difference between chemical peeling and beauty/self-peeling
Peeling at home or at beauty salons uses less effective chemicals than medical grade. Therefore, although your skin may feel smooth immediately after use, in most cases this effect is temporary. Over time, your skin will likely return to its original state.
Also, if skin problems do occur, you will not be able to have an esthetician or do it yourself and will need to see a dermatologist.
Chemical peeling uses highly effective chemicals and is performed under the supervision of a doctor, including a cosmetic dermatologist. The benefits are that it is highly effective in improving skin quality, and if any problems occur, a doctor can deal with them immediately.
Many peeling products sold in the market as home care products are the type that rub off the skin in flakes like eraser shavings, but since inflamed, red or brown skin is delicate, irritation from friction can actually make the condition worse. It is not recommended to perform peeling on your own without careful consideration.
Treatment flow
The procedure at Hiro Clinic Cosmetic Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is as follows.
(1) Counseling by a doctor
The doctor will carefully consult with the patient about their concerns and ideal skin, and then examine the condition of the skin. The doctor will then propose the most effective plan, including the type of medication, concentration, and number of treatments.
We also offer advice on treatments that can be used in combination with peeling to achieve even greater skin-beautifying effects , such as iontophoresis , which allows beauty ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin .
You can also choose the area to be peeled , such as only treating the problem areas on your back, so feel free to consult with us if you have any preferences.
(2) Cleansing and degreasing
If you are having the treatment on your face, cleanse and prepare your skin for peeling .
(3) Chemical peeling
We apply the medicine selected according to your skin condition and concerns and perform the treatment. We adjust the concentration of the medicine, application method, and time while observing your condition, aiming for high effectiveness while minimizing irritation.
(4) Wipe off
The condition of your skin will be checked, the peeling agent will be neutralized, and then it will be wiped off.
(5) Iontophoresis
Next, we will perform iontophoresis. After chemical peeling , the skin is more susceptible to the penetration of beauty ingredients because the old dead skin cells have been removed. We will introduce ingredients tailored to your concerns, such as vitamin C , which is expected to improve acne and have a whitening effect.

What is the stimulation of peeling?
When you hear that old keratin and epidermis are removed with chemicals, you may be worried about pain. However, because the keratin and epidermis that are peeled off with chemical peels do not have blood vessels, there are almost no side effects such as pain or bleeding.
Because we use medicines that are appropriately adjusted, there is little irritation, and in most cases the treatment area only feels a slight tingling or itching.
In addition, to prevent skin problems after the treatment, we thoroughly soothe and condition the skin after the treatment. We have private rooms and an environment that ensures privacy, so you can relax during the treatment.
Precautions after treatment
After peeling , the skin is very delicate and easily damaged. When washing your body, be gentle and careful without scrubbing to avoid pigmentation. After bathing, the skin tends to dry out easily, so we recommend moisturizing it thoroughly with body skin care products.
Additionally, you need to be careful of ultraviolet rays. After removing dead skin cells, your skin is more susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays. To prevent sunburn and blemishes , be sure to apply sunscreen and protect your skin with a parasol, hat, and long-sleeved clothing.
Condition of skin after treatment
After chemical peeling , clogged pores are removed, bumps are reduced, and your skin is moisturized and smooth. Your skin tone will also become brighter, and your back will be clear and beautiful. You will be able to wear any dress with confidence.
It is more effective if you continue it regularly
If you want to improve stubborn acne or acne scars, or maintain beautiful skin, it is more effective to perform chemical peels regularly, about every three weeks . This will promote skin regeneration and make your skin radiant and beautiful.
summary
Chemical peels are effective in improving rough skin on the back .
Chemical peeling has the effect of removing dead skin cells and epidermis that cause acne, blemishes , and dullness, and promoting cell turnover. It is attractive not only for improving skin problems, but also for creating the foundation for beautiful skin.
Although there is a slight tingling sensation, there is almost no pain as the medication is adjusted to the appropriate condition during the treatment.
After the treatment, you will have smooth, clear, and beautiful skin. By receiving chemical peels on an ongoing basis, approximately once every three weeks , you can regulate cell turnover and achieve even healthier, more beautiful skin.
● Main side effects and risks of chemical peeling
Chemical peeling involves the application of an acidic agent, so although it is a mild treatment, it does have a tingling sensation. Also, people with sensitive skin may feel some tightness or dryness.
Also, chemical peels are not the best treatment for everyone . If you have wounds or severe inflammation on your skin, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not want to have a chemical peel , or other treatments may be more suitable. Consult a doctor to find out which treatment is best for your skin.
