Keratosis Pilaris

Description

Keratosis pilaris—also commonly known as “chicken skin,” “chicken bumps,” or “goose-bumps”—is a harmless but widespread skin condition caused by tiny follicular keratin plugs that create rough, bumpy patches on the skin. These small bumps, which often have a sandpapery or dry texture, most frequently appear on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. Sometimes called follicular keratosis or lichen pilaris, keratosis pilaris is usually more noticeable in colder, drier seasons and can affect people of any age or skin type. While not dangerous, many people seek smooth, even skin by exploring treatments such as gentle exfoliation, moisturizing, or professional procedures like chemical peels—especially in popular medical tourism destinations like South Korea, renowned for advanced dermatological care. If you’re frustrated by stubborn “chicken skin” and seeking convenient, effective solutions, discover how leading-edge therapies and custom skincare can help reveal softer, clearer skin.

Free consultation from the clinic

Lalian Cheongdam Clinic is a dermatology/aesthetic clinic in Cheongdam (Gangnam, Seoul) that focuses on personalized facial design using energy-based lifting devices, injectables, and skin-boosting treatments.  Lifting & Skin Tightening Devices Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten areas such as the jawline and lower face. It targets deeper support layers to improve firmness while keeping the surface skin intact.  Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat deeper skin layers to support collagen remodeling and tighter-looking contours. It is used to improve skin texture and overall firmness across areas like the face.  Regenerative & Collagen-Stimulating Injections Rejuran Healer is a polynucleotide (PN) skin-repair injection used to support overall skin regeneration and texture improvement. It is commonly chosen for concerns like fine lines, pores, and skin resilience.  Juvelook is a collagen-stimulating injectable (PDLLA + hyaluronic acid) used to improve the look of pores, fine lines, and uneven texture. It focuses on gradual skin quality improvement rather than immediate volumizing.  Ultracol is a PDO-based collagen booster designed to stimulate collagen formation and support firmer-looking skin. It is used to improve elasticity and overall skin density over time.  Sculptra is a collagen stimulator used to improve facial volume balance and skin structure gradually. It is commonly used for areas where you want subtle, long-term support rather than a “filled” look.  Radiesse is a biostimulatory filler that supports both contour definition and collagen stimulation. It is often used when structure and firmness are priorities in the treatment plan.  Skin Boosters & Hydration Treatments Belotero Revive is a skin booster designed to improve hydration and glow using hyaluronic acid with glycerol. It is used for dryness, dullness, and texture concerns where hydration is a main goal.  Exosome (ASCE+) is a regenerative skin treatment described by the clinic as supporting skin recovery and overall skin strength. It is positioned for improving skin condition related to texture, hydration, and signs of irritation.  Botulinum Toxin Treatments Botox (Botulinum toxin) is used to soften expression-related lines by reducing overactive facial muscle movement. The clinic lists options such as Coretox and Xeomin as part of this category.  Xeomin is a botulinum toxin option used for targeted wrinkle reduction and muscle relaxation for a more relaxed expression. It is used similarly to other neuromodulators in customized dosing plans.  Dermal Fillers Juvederm is a hyaluronic-acid dermal filler used to add volume and support facial balance (such as temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and chin). It is commonly used to restore contour and proportion in a structured way.  Restylane is a hyaluronic-acid dermal filler used for contouring and balancing volume across areas like the forehead, cheeks, and chin. It’s typically selected based on the texture/firmness needed for a specific facial area.  Face Contouring Injections Fat-dissolving injection is used to reduce localized facial fat such as cheek fullness or double-chin areas and refine the overall contour. The clinic positions this category for shaping areas like buccal fat zones and jawline definition.  Consultation & Diagnostics 3D skin analysis (Meta-Vu) is used to assess factors like pores, wrinkles, pigmentation, and overall skin tone in detail. It supports treatment planning by making skin-condition changes easier to track.  Ultrasound examination is used to evaluate soft-tissue layers such as fat and muscle depth to support more precise treatment planning. It helps match treatment depth and approach to the individual’s anatomy.
