Effective Acne Treatment That Improves Sebaceous Glands

Provided by: Lim Isuk Thema Dermatology Clinic

If you were to name the conditions that trouble the skin,

a lot of people would say acne first.

Acne is such a common concern for many people,

and although there are various types of acne,

there is not a major difference in prevention or treatment methods.

Acne occurs when hormones stimulated by various influences

cause excessive sebum secretion.

If it is squeezed incorrectly,

deep scars can form,

so it is important to receive treatment

that is appropriate for your condition.

To help resolve the concerns of those suffering from acne-prone skin,

Lim Isuk Thema Dermatology Clinic will explain effective treatment methods.

What is acne?

Acne refers to small, dark-red bumps

that appear on the face, and it is one of the skin conditions

with a high recurrence rate and difficult treatment.

When sebum is produced excessively,

it cannot be discharged to the skin surface,

and if bacteria invade the pores

or sebum clumps together inside them,

it worsens into inflammation and blocks the pores.

At the stage when acne first begins,

it appears as a light pink, millet-seed-like white comedone,

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.

Why acne develops

Acne usually occurs when hormones stimulated by poor eating habits

or lifestyle habits, excessive stress,

and external environmental factors

cause excessive sebum secretion.

In general, the causes of adolescent acne

are due to active hormonal activity during the body’s development

as it transitions into adulthood.

In this case, it naturally decreases over time,

so it is not a major problem.

On the other hand, the causes of adult acne

include neglecting skin care, irregular lifestyle habits,

poor eating habits, environmental pollution,

stress, and improper use of cosmetics,

among other complex factors.

For women, if they do not cleanse properly before and after makeup,

waste and sebum can clump together and block the pores,

worsening acne.

Also, depending on the hormonal cycle,

acne can become more severe 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 sometimes divided by age.

During adolescence, it most often 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 is a red inflammatory lesion in the form of a pimple,

becomes harder to heal as one gets older due to skin aging,

and is therefore a skin condition that worries many people.

What happens if acne is left untreated?

If acne is not treated, the inflammation becomes more severe.

Therefore, it is important to seek treatment with the help of a dermatologist

as soon as it is found.

If left as it is, the likelihood of acne bacteria multiplying increases,

and there is also the possibility of pustular acne developing as a result.

In general, at home, people look at unverified information,

squeeze acne incorrectly,

and when they touch acne, bacterial infection often causes

the infected sebum gland inside the follicle to burst.

In such cases, skin tissue can fall away,

leaving a pitted acne scar,

so caution is needed.

If this process continues,

the scarring becomes so severe that even thick makeup cannot cover it.

Compared with other scars, acne scars are often deeply indented.

In many cases, the scar reaches below the dermis into the fat layer,

and the skin tissue may also be damaged.

Because it will never disappear with folk remedies or self-care,

you should visit a dermatologist and receive treatment for adult acne.

Agnes laser

There are many ways to get rid of acne, and many ways to eliminate acne,

but I will tell you the most effective one among them.

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 eliminate the cause of acne.

What matters is carefully determining whether it suits you,

based on your skin type, acne depth, shape, acne treatment cost,

and other factors.

For those concerned about excessive sebum secretion,

the 'Agnes' laser procedure is recommended.

Agnes is a procedure that improves acne

by coagulating and destroying the sebaceous glands

with micro-insulated needles and radiofrequency energy.

It is effective for acne removal, sebum removal,

and acne prevention.

Made with domestic technology based on Kobayashi insulated needles,

Agnes uses a method in which micro insulated needles are inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer

and electric current is delivered,

so it has the advantage of selectively destroying sebaceous glands inside the skin

without damaging the skin surface.

Satisfactory results can be obtained with an average of only 1 to 3 sessions,

and because the cause, the sebaceous glands, is destroyed,

acne recurrence is rare, which can save time and cost.

It is a laser with a low treatment burden because the skin does not become sensitive

or show dryness immediately after the procedure,

and a quick return to daily life is possible after treatment.

For teenagers who have difficulty taking medication,

or for those whose skin becomes dry or whose liver is not in good condition when taking medication,

treatment with medicine is difficult,

so treating with the Agnes laser can produce good results.

Acne laser

Vbeam Perfecta: improves acne with minimal stimulation to normal skin tissue and without bruising

TheraClear: an acne laser that treats even the cause of acne

PlaDuo: excellent improvement of acne causes with dual plasma

If many red marks remain from acne scars,

Vbeam Perfecta is effective.

Vbeam Perfecta also shows excellent effects on facial redness,

which was not well treated with conventional vascular lasers,

and 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.

Dual plasma uses two toning methods,

R-toning using argon and N-toning using nitrogen,

to treat skin conditions with tips suited to the skin concern.

R-toning improves skin troubles by killing bacteria, reducing inflammation,

regulating sebaceous glands, and accelerating skin recovery.

N-toning improves skin tone and skin elasticity

by regulating blood circulation in microvessels

and promoting fibroblast collagen proliferation.

Dual plasma can provide various treatment effects,

such as acne treatment, skin texture improvement, elasticity, fine wrinkle improvement,

skin tone improvement, and redness improvement,

so it is recommended for those who want to resolve acne treatment

and various complex skin problems.

TheraClear is a safe laser approved by the FDA for improving acne on all skin types,

and it can deliver quick treatment results with a small number of sessions.

It pulls the skin into the tip to remove impurities and waste,

cleans the inside of the pores,

and removes the cause of acne.

Then, by irradiating the skin near the tip with laser,

it also cares for skin redness,

so it can provide treatment effects such as acne treatment,

pigmentation, redness relief, and sebum reduction.

It is recommended for those who want to care for acne and pigmentation problems together.

Precautions after acne treatment

1. Avoid direct UV exposure on the day of the procedure

2. Avoid using scrubs until the inflammation subsides after the procedure

3. If itching or severe heat is felt after the procedure, visit the clinic for treatment

4. Continue to use moisturizer and sunscreen consistently

5. Avoid saunas or steam rooms

6. Do not scratch or squeeze the treated area after the procedure

For effective acne treatment and acne procedures,

there are precautions that must be followed after treatment.

Acne occurs when hormones stimulated by various influences

cause excessive sebum secretion.

If it is squeezed incorrectly,

deep scars can form,

so it is important to receive treatment with the right method.

Also, even if you think you have completely treated acne with an effective procedure,

the possibility of recurrence is high.

It is necessary to improve eating habits and lifestyle habits

so that you can live regularly,

and to manage the skin so that it does not become contaminated.

In particular, for women, it is important to remove makeup thoroughly and cleanse properly.

In addition to improving these habits, acne can also be improved with medical skin care.

Office workers often do not have much time,

so they prefer medical skin care that allows acne management in a short period of time.

For example, superficial skin scaling opens blocked pores

and releases sebum from the skin,

which soothes acne and helps skin regeneration.
