What Is the Key to Acne Laser Treatment at Singil Station Dermatology? <Written by a Doctor>

Recently, the weather has been changing day by day.

In the mornings and evenings, it feels chilly, but during the day it is warm. Then the humidity suddenly rises, and at other times it becomes dry.

When the environment changes so abruptly, the skin also feels the effects directly.

In addition, factors such as temperature, humidity, fine dust, and ultraviolet rays change the skin environment, which can lead to small breakouts appearing all over the face.

However, many people think of acne as just a simple skin problem, but in fact, its effects go beyond that.

In particular, it can become a constant concern every time you look in the mirror, lowering confidence in your appearance.

And when acne appears, people often touch or squeeze it with their hands, which can damage the skin barrier in the process and lead to other problems.

As you can see, acne has a much greater impact on each individual patient than many people realize.

That is why, if you are stressed by acne symptoms, it is best to receive treatment as soon as possible for the sake of a healthier life.

Today, we would like to share information that may be helpful for those planning acne treatment at Singil Station Dermatology.

We hope this article from Singil Station Dermatology helps those who want healthy, clear skin.

-Today's article outline-

1. Types of acne by symptom

2. How to prevent acne from occurring and worsening

3. Acne sebaceous gland laser treatment

Acne is not just a simple breakout.

Acne is a skin condition that many people experience at least once, but not many people truly understand it.

First, there are sebaceous glands in our skin, and they play the role of secreting skin oil.

Skin oil, or sebum, normally helps protect the skin, but if too much is produced or if it is not properly discharged, pores can become clogged and acne can develop.

In short, acne is a skin disease caused by inflammation in the sebaceous glands within the pores.

It is also divided into non-inflammatory and inflammatory types depending on the symptoms.

First, non-inflammatory acne refers to a state without visible severe inflammation, and whiteheads can occur when sebum cannot be discharged and becomes trapped under the skin.

If whiteheads are exposed to air and oxidize, they can turn black and develop into noticeable blackheads.

Fortunately, at this stage, thorough cleansing can help improve symptoms to some extent.

However, if proper care is not provided at this point, acne-causing bacteria can multiply and develop into inflammatory acne accompanied by pain.

In severe cases, it can progress to nodular acne or cystic acne, which may require a fairly long treatment period.

Acne, causes of occurrence and how to prevent it from appearing and worsening

As mentioned earlier, acne is a skin condition caused by excessive sebum secretion.

In particular, eating greasy foods or accumulating stress can increase sebum production, so it is best to maintain healthy eating habits and relieve stress through light walks or exercise.

If dead skin cells are added to the mix, sebum and dead skin can become tangled and clog pores completely, so it is advisable to regularly exfoliate to maintain healthy skin condition.

However, excessive exfoliation can instead cause minor or major damage to the skin, so it is best to do it only about once a week.

When washing your face, it also helps to cleanse gently with a mildly acidic cleanser.

In addition, to prevent acne from occurring and worsening, you should be careful not to create an environment where bacteria can thrive.

In particular, pillows and towels that frequently come into contact with the face should be washed often, and you should be careful not to touch your face with your hands.

When is laser treatment necessary for acne?

When acne appears, the first thought many people have is:

"Wouldn't it just be fine to squeeze it out?"

Of course, if you visit a clinic and have acne extracted, you can expect the symptoms to ease naturally.

However, if the affected area is wide or if acne symptoms are continuing chronically, laser treatment may need to be considered.

The sebaceous gland laser treatment explained today works by suppressing the sebaceous glands, which are the fundamental cause of acne.

Through this, excessive sebum secretion is controlled, and various forms of acne can be expected to improve naturally.

In short, you can think of it as a treatment method that controls sebum production itself to help acne occur less often.

In addition, because the sebaceous gland laser selectively treats only the problematic sebaceous glands, it may cause less irritation to the surrounding normal skin tissue.

On top of that, it can be very helpful for long-term management of acne over a wide area.

However, since this treatment uses laser energy, the skin may become red immediately afterward, so sun protection and moisturizing care must be done thoroughly.

Many people think acne will "naturally go away with time."

However, that is often not the case.

In particular, if acne keeps recurring, the underlying cause of the symptoms must be corrected.

When acne appears, the first thing to do is understand your skin condition properly.

That is why, through a detailed skin examination, it may be advisable to check your skin condition and plan treatment accordingly.

It is also helpful to maintain healthy skin condition by combining treatment with proper care.
