Hello.
I am Director Information Hwang of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
Have you ever wanted to get a peel because your skin felt rough and your makeup looked cakey even after washing your face, but were worried about irritation?
"I want to exfoliate, but my skin is sensitive, so I'm worried about strong peels causing redness and stinging."
Many people come to us with these concerns.
Skin cells typically renew every 28 days, but this cycle can slow down due to seasonal changes, aging, or frequent makeup use.
When this happens, old dead skin cells accumulate, making the skin look dull and rough.
While strong acid-based peels can be intimidating, there is a way to gently refine the skin using natural enzymes.
That is the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel.
Today, I will explain what the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel is and how pumpkin acts as a natural peeling agent.
What is the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel?
👉 The Gangnam Pumpkin Peel is a treatment that uses a 100% fermented pumpkin-based natural peeling agent to gently break down dead skin cells while providing nourishment.
During the fermentation process, enzymes multiply, and these enzymes break down the old stratum corneum, allowing it to shed naturally.
In addition, the natural components inherent in pumpkin are added.
Natural AHA (fruit acid) and BHA (salicylic acid) help break down dead skin cells, while phytoestrogens, omega fatty acids, flavonoids, and natural vitamin A extracts nourish the skin.
It is easy to understand it as a peel that refines the skin by reducing irritation, much like gently wiping with a mild soap rather than a harsh cleanser.
Effects and Advantages of the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel
👉 The key advantages of the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel can be summarized in three points: low irritation from natural ingredients, simultaneous exfoliation and nourishment, and short downtime.
First, it is less irritating than strong chemical peels.
Based on natural fermented enzymes, it is known as a peel that even sensitive skin can receive with relatively little burden.
Second, it provides both exfoliation and nourishment.
It doesn't just stop at removing dead skin cells; the vitamins and antioxidant components in the pumpkin replenish the refined skin with nutrients.
Finally, it allows for a quick return to daily life.
Since it rarely causes redness that lasts for days like strong peels, it is reported that daily activities are possible immediately after the procedure.
Types of Gangnam Pumpkin Peel
👉 The Gangnam Pumpkin Peel is available in two configurations: Basic and Premium.
The Basic configuration focuses on exfoliating using only the pumpkin fermentation peeling agent.
The Premium configuration adds a moisture ultrasound step after the pumpkin peel to deliver deep hydration to the refined skin.
We generally recommend the Basic option if your main goal is exfoliation, and the Premium option if you want to take care of hydration at the same time.
Who is the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel for?
Those who want a peel but are burdened by strong irritation
Those whose skin feels rough and flaky during seasonal changes
Those whose makeup does not sit well on their skin
Those with rough and dull-looking skin texture
Those looking for a gentle peel that does not interfere with daily life
Side Effects and Things to Know Before the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel
👉 Although the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel is a gentle, natural ingredient-based peel, the peeling process itself involves a certain level of stimulation, so it is necessary to check your skin condition before the procedure.
Even though it is considered low-irritation,
depending on your constitution or condition, temporary stinging, mild redness, or a slight burning sensation may occur after the procedure.
These are reported to subside within a few hours to a day in most cases.
In rare cases, allergic reactions or swelling may occur,
so for first-time patients, we check your skin condition during a pre-procedure consultation.
Please inform us in advance if any of the following apply, as the procedure may be restricted:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have acute inflammation, wounds, or herpes in the treatment area
If you have a history of allergies to pumpkin ingredients
If you have recently received a strong peel or laser treatment
If you are currently using irritating topical products such as tretinoin
⚠️ Precautions Before the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel
1-2 weeks before the procedure
If you have just received another peel or strong laser treatment on the same area, we will check when it is safe to proceed during your pre-procedure consultation.
Please let us know if you are using retinol or AHA topical products.
2-3 days before the procedure
It is best to avoid scrubs or harsh cleansing.
If your skin is sensitive, we recommend proceeding after a soothing treatment.
On the day of the procedure
Please arrive with a clean face without makeup after washing.
If you are taking any medications or have a history of allergies, please inform us during the pre-procedure consultation.
⚠️ Precautions After the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel
On the day of the procedure
Wash your face lightly with lukewarm water and do not rub the treated area vigorously.
Please avoid washing with hot water or using a sauna.
3-7 days after the procedure
We recommend refraining from alcohol, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise.
Please also postpone the use of scrubs or acid-based topical products for a while.
1-2 weeks after the procedure
Please use sunscreen consistently.
Skin can be more sensitive to sunlight after a peel.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How often should I get the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel?
It depends on your skin condition and the thickness of your dead skin cells, but because it is low-irritation, many people receive it cumulatively at regular intervals.
The recommended frequency will be guided during your pre-procedure consultation based on your skin condition.
Q. How is the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel different from strong peels like LALA Peel?
While LALA Peel is a strong chemical-based peel, the Pumpkin Peel is a natural peel that utilizes pumpkin fermentation enzymes.
Rather than saying one is better than the other, we choose based on your skin condition and tolerance for irritation.
Q. Does my skin peel off after the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel?
It rarely peels visibly like strong peels do.
It is known to work by allowing old dead skin cells to shed naturally, resulting in a smooth surface.
Q. Which is better, the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel Basic or Premium?
We recommend the Basic option if you want to focus on exfoliation, and the Premium option if you want to replenish moisture in your refined skin.
Choose according to your skin condition and goals.
Q. Can I wear makeup immediately after the Gangnam Pumpkin Peel?
Although the downtime is short, we recommend using only light makeup on the day of the procedure and starting full makeup from the next day.
Giving your skin time to soothe allows for more natural absorption and color payoff.
Concerns about rough skin texture and visible dead skin cells are often caused by a slowed skin renewal cycle, not just a lack of moisture.
The Gangnam Pumpkin Peel is a natural peel that gently refines dead skin cells with pumpkin fermentation enzymes while providing both nourishment and hydration.
We will personally check the configuration and frequency that suit your skin condition during your consultation.
