Improving Chronic Inflammatory Acne with Gold PTT and Peeling at a Jamsil Acne Dermatology Clinic

Acne treatment that starts by improving the skin environment

Hello, this is Jamsil On Dermatology!

Red, inflamed acne goes beyond a simple blemish and can affect your daily life. Even if you cover it with makeup, it quickly stands out, and because you tend to touch it often, irritation can easily be repeated! This is also why approaches that only soothe the visible lesions on the surface make it hard to feel a satisfying change. A more active approach is needed, one that considers both the skin surface and the environment inside the pores:)

Acne treatment that starts by improving the skin environment

Causes of inflammatory acne

Inflammatory acne appears when several factors inside the skin are disrupted at the same time. If dead skin cells are not shed properly, the pore openings become blocked, and sebum and waste products build up inside, creating an environment where bacteria can multiply easily. When the balance of oil and moisture is disrupted, the skin responds by trying to secrete even more sebum to protect itself. As a result, pressure inside the pores rises, inflammatory reactions repeat, and red, painful acne develops.

Therefore, when dealing with inflammatory acne, treatment does not stop at calming the visible lesions. The condition of the dead skin cells blocking the pores, the skin state that stimulates sebum secretion, and even the skin barrier that reacts easily to irritation all need to be addressed together. When the overall skin environment is stabilized in parallel, the frequency of recurrence and the intensity of inflammation can gradually decrease.

• Dead skin buildup / blocked pore openings

• Sebum and waste accumulation / bacterial growth

• Oil-moisture imbalance / increased sebum production

• Weakened skin barrier / amplified inflammatory response

Cerafill

Cerafill is a fourth-generation peeling treatment whose main ingredients are LHA and Youth P-Sol™, and it focuses on evenly refining the stratum corneum. Rather than a method that harshly strips only the surface, it helps reduce irritation by smoothing away unnecessary dead skin cells along the skin’s texture. In particular, because it evenly clears dead skin cells accumulated around the pores, it helps prevent the pathway for sebum from becoming blocked.

In acne-prone skin, inflammation can worsen even with small stimuli. Cerafill refines the skin surface without excessive irritation, creating a foundation where the oil-moisture balance can recover. As a result, the environment where sebum and waste products easily accumulate is eased, and the skin can respond more stably during subsequent acne treatment or care steps.

• Evenly refines dead skin cells around the pores

• Improves the sebum drainage pathway / minimizes skin irritation

• Creates a period for oil-moisture balance recovery

Gold PTT

To improve the overproduction of sebum itself, a treatment like Gold PTT is needed. It is a method that uses micro-nano gold particles to regulate sebaceous gland function! First, the Gold PTT solution is applied to the skin, and then ultrasound is used to help the gold particles be selectively absorbed into the sebaceous glands. After that, when a laser of a specific wavelength is applied, a heat reaction occurs in the gold particles, directly affecting the overactive sebaceous glands.

The key point of this process is that it helps regulate sebum secretion while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Rather than a method that indiscriminately stimulates the entire skin, energy is delivered mainly to the sebaceous glands, so the focus is on gradually stabilizing the excess sebum environment that contributes to inflammatory acne.

Effects and advantages of Gold PTT

The core of Gold PTT treatment is stabilizing the sebum secretion flow itself. When excessive sebum secretion repeats, inflammation can easily continue inside the pores, but when sebaceous gland activity is regulated, this vicious cycle gradually eases. As oiliness decreases, the environment inside the pores becomes more orderly, and the pattern of inflammatory acne spreading also tends to settle down.

Another important point is that the skin surface is less likely to be irritated. Because it does not rely on strong exfoliation or extraction, and instead regulates the sebum function at the center of the problem, it lowers the possibility of the skin becoming overly sensitive after treatment. It is meaningful in that it can help improve the overall environment while maintaining the skin’s condition during acne care:)

• Controls excessive sebum secretion / reduces oiliness

• Improves the pore environment / reduces recurrence frequency

• Relatively low irritation burden / helps stabilize skin condition

For chronic inflammatory acne?

If inflammatory acne keeps recurring over a long period or persists only in certain areas, a more direct approach may be needed. Potenza sebaceous gland destruction is a treatment method that delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles to directly act on the sebaceous glands causing the problem. The difference is that it does not simply calm the visible lesions, but focuses on the source of sebum secretion.

It is especially suitable for areas where inflammation repeatedly occurs locally, such as the chin or cheeks. Since energy is delivered only to the necessary area while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue, it can be considered as one option in the management of chronic acne. You can understand it as a treatment method used within the process of gradually stabilizing the skin environment.
