To provide basic information on effective acne control and peeling programs, this study was conducted. To do this, the study surveyed status of the utilization satisfaction on medical peeling.
For this purpose, survey forms were distributed to 309 adults acne patients using medical skin care in Busan city. It was found that 73.8% of medical skin care users were women, 88.1% were in between their 20s and 30s, 35.3% were in Grade II (comedo acne + papule acne), and 93.2% were stressed by their acne problems. As for the types and use of peeling for acne control, a majority of subjects preferred chemical peeling (79.6%) regardless of their sex, age, occupation, education, marital status, severity of acne, and stress. Many of them responded that they have had three to four peelings (37.9%) and experienced minor sensitivity (57.6%) during peeling and minor sting (67.9%) after peeling. In addition, many of them saw positive effects after two to three times (37.9%) and experienced no reverse effects (61.8%). They were mostly satisfied by the peeling treatment, except for its price. Satisfaction with peeling received an average of 3.87 out of 5 possible points for positive effects on acne control. Many subjects responded that they were satisfied by their skin after peeling (3.85), were satisfied by overall effect of peeling (3.76), were satisfied by their appearance after peeling (3.65), received additional peeling for treatment purposes (3.65), were recommended to peeling by acquaintances (3.65), enhanced confidence after peeling (3.58), were satisfied by the length of peeling treatment (3.40), and were satisfied by the price of peeling (3.12). As for the skin care after peeling for acne control, a majority of responders said that they use sun block cream before going out (4.20), use moisturizing cream (3.95), receive reproduction control (3.92), purchase home skin care system (3.76), and gently remove cuticles (3.67). Other responses included: avoid hot massages and sauna (3.29) and avoid hot and spicy food (3.06). To maximize the effect of peeling for acne control and avoid any further problems, however, it is necessary to study reproduction control and other post-rejuvination care programs that may follow peeling treatment.
