What Is Keratosis Pilaris Treatment at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport?
KP treatment at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport combines Aqua Peel (₩39,000 / $28 USD), LHALA chemical peel (₩77,000 / $55 USD), and Gold PTT + Genesis Laser (₩99,000 / $71 USD) to dissolve keratin plugs, reduce follicular inflammation, and restore smooth skin texture on arms and cheeks — 365 days open with free pickup.
Keratosis pilaris — commonly called “chicken skin” or “strawberry skin” — affects 50-80% of adolescents and 40% of adults worldwide. The condition presents as rough, sandpaper-textured patches of tiny bumps caused by excess keratin protein clogging individual hair follicles. While KP is medically harmless, the persistent rough texture and reddish or brownish discoloration on upper arms, thighs, cheeks, and buttocks cause significant cosmetic concern. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, our keratosis pilaris treatment protocol addresses all three components of the condition simultaneously. First, Aqua Peel from ₩39,000 uses hydradermabrasion to mechanically extract keratin plugs from clogged follicles while infusing hydrating serums. Second, LHALA chemical peel from ₩77,000 dissolves the keratin protein bonds that create KP bumps, providing deeper exfoliation. Third, Gold PTT + Genesis Laser from ₩99,000 targets the perifolicular inflammation and redness that accompanies moderate-to-severe keratosis pilaris. For stubborn or extensive KP, Potenza RF microneedling at ₩330,000 promotes collagen remodeling and skin resurfacing at the follicular level. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun, Aesthetic Medicine Specialist and Head Director, customizes each keratosis pilaris treatment protocol based on severity grading, affected body area, and skin type. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport operates 365 days a year with complimentary airport pickup from ICN Terminal 1.
How KP Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A comprehensive multi-step protocol designed to clear keratin plugs and restore smooth skin texture.
KP Severity Assessment & Treatment Planning
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun evaluates your keratosis pilaris severity across affected areas — upper arms, thighs, cheeks, buttocks. Grading scale: Grade 1 (mild roughness, few bumps), Grade 2 (moderate bumps with redness), Grade 3 (extensive bumps with inflammation and hyperpigmentation). Skin type assessment determines chemical peel strength and laser parameters. A personalized KP treatment plan maps which devices target each affected zone for maximum smoothing.
Keratin Plug Extraction with Aqua Peel
Aqua Peel hydradermabrasion (from ₩39,000) uses vortex suction technology to mechanically extract keratin plugs from blocked follicles while simultaneously infusing salicylic acid and hydrating serums into cleared pores. This step physically removes the keratin buildup that creates KP bumps. For facial KP, a gentler extraction protocol with Hydrafacial technology adapts suction pressure and serum concentration to facial skin sensitivity.
Chemical Exfoliation & Laser Therapy
LHALA chemical peel (₩77,000) dissolves remaining keratin bonds and thins hyperkeratotic plugs at the follicular ostium. Gold PTT + Genesis Laser (₩99,000) then targets the perifolicular inflammation and vascular dilation that creates KP redness. Genesis 1064nm Nd:YAG laser provides controlled dermal heating to calm inflammatory response and normalize follicular keratinization. For severe or treatment-resistant keratosis pilaris, Potenza RF microneedling remodels the perifolicular dermis at adjustable depths. Combined treatment time: 30-60 minutes.
Hydration, Recovery & Maintenance Protocol
LDM ultrasound and LED phototherapy reduce post-treatment inflammation. Dermio Care intensive hydration restores barrier function over treated areas. A customized home maintenance regimen is prescribed including lactic acid or urea-based body lotions (10-20% concentration) to prevent keratin re-accumulation. Aftercare instructions provided in 8 languages. Keratosis pilaris treatment maintenance sessions every 4-8 weeks maintain smooth texture. Rejuran skin booster can enhance follicular healing.

The Science Behind KP Treatment
Pathogenesis and Evidence-Based Management of Keratosis Pilaris
KP is a disorder of follicular keratinization characterized by the formation of keratotic plugs within hair follicle infundibula. The condition results from abnormal keratinocyte desquamation — instead of shedding normally, corneocytes aggregate within the follicular ostium, forming visible 1-2mm papules that give the skin its characteristic sandpaper-like texture. Prevalence studies show keratosis pilaris affects 50-80% of adolescents and 40% of adults, with a clear genetic predisposition following autosomal dominant inheritance with variable penetrance. KP severity typically peaks during puberty and gradually improves with age, though many adults retain clinically significant disease requiring keratosis pilaris treatment. Filaggrin gene (FLG) loss-of-function mutations, which also predispose to atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis vulgaris, have been identified as a key genetic driver of severe KP, linking the condition to broader disorders of epidermal barrier function.
Topical keratolytic agents remain the foundation of keratosis pilaris treatment. Lactic acid (12% concentration) and urea (20-40%) directly dissolve keratin plugs through chemical keratolysis, with randomized controlled trials demonstrating 50-70% texture improvement after 4-8 weeks of daily application. Salicylic acid (2-3%) provides additional anti-inflammatory benefit through COX enzyme inhibition, addressing the perifolicular erythema component of KP. However, topical monotherapy rarely achieves complete clearance, as the underlying keratinization defect continues producing new plugs. Professional keratosis pilaris treatment combining physical extraction (hydradermabrasion) with chemical exfoliation and energy-based therapy achieves significantly greater improvement than topical agents alone.
Energy-based devices have emerged as valuable tools in KP treatment, particularly for addressing the inflammatory and vascular components resistant to topical therapy. Non-ablative 1064nm Nd:YAG laser (Genesis) delivers controlled dermal heating that reduces perifolicular inflammation and normalizes aberrant keratinization signaling. Pulsed dye laser at 595nm targets the dilated capillaries responsible for keratosis pilaris-associated erythema. Radiofrequency microneedling promotes perifolicular collagen remodeling that physically prevents keratin plug re-formation. Recent studies of fractional laser-assisted delivery of keratolytic agents show enhanced penetration and efficacy compared to topical application alone — a technique being adopted at advanced clinics for refractory KP treatment.

What Patients Say About KP Treatment
“I have had keratosis pilaris on my upper arms since I was 14. Every lotion and scrub made minimal difference. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport combined Aqua Peel with a chemical peel and Genesis Laser — 3 sessions later my arms are smooth for the first time in 20 years. The entire treatment cost less than one dermatology visit in New York.”
“My cheeks had rough bumpy patches that no amount of skincare could fix. Dr. Kim at RE:BERRY correctly identified it as facial KP and treated it with Gold PTT + Genesis Laser. After 2 sessions, the redness and bumps are 80% gone. The ₩99,000 price for the laser package was unbelievably good value.”
“I combined keratosis pilaris treatment on my thighs with a chemical peel on my face during my Incheon layover. RE:BERRY provided airport pickup and the whole appointment took 90 minutes. The Aqua Peel was only ₩39,000 and I could see extracted keratin plugs in the collection tube — very satisfying. My skin felt silky immediately.”
