Effective Acne Treatment That Improves Sebaceous Glands at Im Euisek Theme Dermatology Clinic

Provider: Im Euisek Theme Dermatology Clinic

During seasonal changes, there are many inquiries about acne treatment at dermatology clinics. There are various types of acne, but there is not a major difference in prevention or treatment methods.

To help solve the concerns of those suffering from acne-prone skin, Im Euisek Theme Dermatology Clinic will explain effective treatment methods.

1. What is acne?

Acne refers to small dark-red bumps and pimples that appear on the face, and it is one of the skin conditions with a high recurrence rate and difficult treatment.

If too much sebum is produced, it cannot be discharged to the skin’s surface. When bacteria invade the pores or sebum clumps inside them, it worsens into inflammation and blocks the pores.

At the stage when acne first begins to appear, it is mild white comedonal acne like tiny millet seeds with a light pink color, but as time passes and it worsens, it becomes dark-red acne. After this stage, it often spreads to surrounding areas such as the face, neck, and chest.

Red, stress-inducing acne! Even more difficult acne recurrence!

Why does acne occur?

2. Why acne develops

Acne usually occurs when hormones stimulated by poor eating habits or lifestyle habits, excessive stress, or external environmental factors cause excessive sebum secretion.

In general, the cause of teenage acne is the active hormonal activity that occurs during the physical development process of transitioning into adulthood. In this case, it naturally decreases over time, so it is not a major issue.

On the other hand, the causes of adult acne are complex, including neglecting skin care, irregular lifestyle habits, poor diet, environmental pollution, stress, and overuse of cosmetics. In women, if makeup is not properly removed before and after application, waste and sebum can clump together and block pores, worsening acne. In addition, according to the hormonal cycle, acne may worsen 7 to 10 days before menstruation begins, so consistent care is important.

The causes of acne in areas such as the forehead, nose, and cheeks are also sometimes divided by age. In adolescence, acne mainly appears on the forehead, cheeks, back, and upper chest, but adult acne tends to appear along the jawline, around the mouth, or along the nose. Acne, which appears as a pimple-like red inflammation, becomes less likely to heal well as people age due to skin aging, making it a skin condition that troubles many people.

3. What happens if acne is left untreated?

If acne is not treated, the inflammation becomes more severe. Therefore, it is important to seek help from a dermatologist and begin treatment as soon as it is discovered.

If left untreated, the likelihood of acne bacteria multiplying increases, and there is also the possibility of developing pustular acne as a result.

In general, many people at home attempt to squeeze acne using incorrect methods after reading unverified information, and while touching the acne, the infected sebum glands inside the follicles burst due to bacterial infection. In such cases, skin tissue may be lost, leaving pitted acne scars, so caution is needed. If this process continues, the scars can become so severe that even heavy makeup cannot cover them.

Compared with other scars, acne scars are often more deeply indented. In many cases, the scar reaches the fat layer below the dermis and can even damage the skin tissue. Since these scars never disappear through folk remedies or self-care, you should visit a dermatologist to receive adult acne treatment.

4. Acne laser and autologous fibroblast treatment

There are various ways to get rid of acne, but I will explain the most effective one. When treating acne, it is important not to leave scars. An effective method for this is to use laser treatment devices. This is because lasers can remove the causes of acne. The important thing is to carefully determine whether it suits your skin type, the depth and shape of the acne, acne treatment costs, and so on.

If many red marks remain from acne scars, Vbeam Perfecta is effective. Vbeam Perfecta also shows excellent results for facial flushing that was not easily treated with conventional vascular lasers, and it has the advantage of minimizing stimulation to normal skin tissue. For those who need to return to daily life quickly, we recommend Vbeam Perfecta, which comprehensively improves acne without bruising.

If the scars are deep, it is a good idea to receive a consultation regarding autologous fibroblast treatment, which uses your own skin cells. This treatment cultures the patient's skin tissue into fibroblasts and injects them into the dermis. As a result, collagen is formed. After fibroblasts are administered, treatment effects can be seen after about 2 to 3 months. After about 9 months, you can see the indented scars throughout the skin filling in.

For those concerned about excessive sebum secretion, we recommend the Agnes laser procedure. Agnes is a procedure that improves acne by coagulating and destroying the sebaceous glands with a micro-insulated needle and radiofrequency energy. It is effective for acne removal, sebum removal, and acne prevention.

Because it involves inserting a fine insulated needle into the subcutaneous fat layer and passing an electric current through it, it has the advantage of selectively destroying sebaceous glands without damaging the skin.

5. Precautions after acne treatment

For effective acne treatment and procedures, there are precautions that must be followed after the procedure.

• Avoid direct exposure to ultraviolet rays on the day of the procedure
• Avoid using scrubs until the inflammation subsides after the procedure
• If itching or a strong feeling of heat occurs after the procedure, visit the clinic for examination
• Use moisturizer and sunscreen consistently
• Avoid saunas and steam rooms
• Do not scratch or squeeze the treated area after the procedure

Acne occurs when hormones stimulated by various factors secrete excessive sebum, and if it is squeezed incorrectly, deep scars can form. Therefore, it is important to receive treatment with the method suited to your condition.

Also, even if you believe you have completely treated acne with an effective procedure, the possibility of recurrence remains high if you let your guard down. You should improve your eating habits and lifestyle habits so that you can live regularly, and manage your skin so that it is not contaminated. In particular, for women, it is important to remove makeup thoroughly and wash the face carefully.

In addition to improving these habits, acne can also be improved through medical skin care. Office workers, in particular, prefer medical skin care because they do not have much time and can receive acne care in a short period. For example, a shallow skin-scaling procedure opens blocked pores and helps sebum exit the skin, thereby calming acne and promoting skin regeneration.
