Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology Consultation,

Symptoms, and Scar Type Classification: A Complete Summary

“It's been a while since I got this acne. Is it okay to squeeze it?

It keeps coming up in the same spot...”

“Because of acne scars, my nickname is sea squirt...

It's so bumpy and ugly to look at.

How can I get rid of it?”

Squeezing it may feel relieving at first, but acne often comes back after a while.

The reason acne keeps recurring in similar ways is simple. It may be because too much sebum is being secreted, or because there is a problem with the structure of the pores themselves.

The bigger problem is that if it is not managed properly, scars can remain.

Once the skin is indented, it is difficult to recover easily with cosmetics or ointments alone.

So today, we will look at acne symptoms and scar types in an easy-to-understand way, and then summarize the care methods accordingly.

Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) What type is my acne?

First, acne symptoms can be broadly divided into two types.

• Non-inflammatory acne

This is also called comedonal acne, and it is a state where sebum has accumulated and hardened inside the hair follicle.

If the pore opening is open, the accumulated sebum meets air and oxidizes to black, becoming a blackhead. If it is closed, it appears white, becoming a whitehead or small acne bump.

There is no inflammation, but if left alone, it can progress to the next stage.

• Inflammatory acne

This is close to the red, painful acne type that we commonly think of as a problem.

It is a condition in which sebum trapped inside the hair follicle becomes concentrated, bacteria proliferate, and it turns red and becomes suppurative.

Papular acne is an early stage that is red and hard but has no pus, and pustular acne is a state where yellow pus has formed.

In the case of nodular or cystic acne, the inflammation has progressed to the deep layers of the skin, causing severe pain and making scars more likely.

Non-inflammatory acne can improve to some extent with dead skin cell care, but inflammatory acne requires addressing the root cause to prevent recurrence.

Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) Acne symptom treatment methods

If acne keeps recurring or the symptoms do not improve, you may want to consider a method that controls the sebaceous glands themselves.

First, NeoBeam is a method that delivers 1450nm wavelength laser energy to the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum secretion.

Its 특징 is that it acts directly only on the sebaceous glands without affecting other areas, so there is less concern about skin damage.

It has a cooling system, so the pain during treatment is minimal.

Next, Agnes is a method that destroys sebaceous glands by inserting radiofrequency needles into the skin.

It is characterized by being easy to perform even in narrow areas such as around the eyes or beside the nose.

Aqua Peel is a care method that uses peeling solutions such as AHA and BHA, along with high-pressure water, to remove sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities from inside the pores.

Although it does not work directly on the sebaceous glands, it can help keep the pores clean deep down and organize sebum well, indirectly helping to reduce acne.

Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) Different types of acne scars

Acne treatment includes methods to help prevent acne from forming, and treatment for scars that have already formed also falls broadly within the category of acne treatment.

Scars take on different shapes depending on how deeply and in what way the inflammation progressed. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of acne scars.

First, ice pick scars are narrow, deep indentations that look as if they were stabbed with an ice pick. Even though the surface area is small, the damage extends deep into the dermis.

Box scars are indented in a square, right-angled shape. They are often seen around the cheekbones or cheeks, and their clear borders are a defining feature.

Rolling scars are broad, gently sloping depressions like the bottom of a plate. Even if they are large in size, they are relatively shallow, so they tend to respond better to treatment than other scars.

Complex scars are cases where several of the above types are mixed together. This is a type commonly seen in people who have had acne for a long time.

Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) Acne scar treatment methods

Acne scar treatment is carried out by regenerating collagen deep in the skin to fill in the depressed areas.

First, Pico Fraxel uses a laser that delivers energy in an extremely short time span of one trillionth of a second.

It does not damage the epidermis and creates microscopic holes deep in the dermis to promote collagen production.

As the skin recovers, collagen builds up, and the damaged scar area naturally recovers.

Sylfirm X is a method that inserts micro-needles into the dermis and delivers radiofrequency energy.

It promotes collagen regeneration to fill in depressed scars, and because the needle depth can be adjusted depending on the scar type, it is characterized by allowing customized care.

Today, for those looking into Seokchon Station Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) because of acne and scarring concerns, we organized and explained the types of symptoms and scars, as well as the available treatment methods.

Please observe your acne carefully. If it keeps appearing in the same spot, rather than simply squeezing it, you may need to shift your approach toward controlling sebum secretion, which is the cause of acne.

Also, if scars have already formed, it is more efficient in terms of time, cost, and your own energy to seek active treatment early before the skin damage becomes more severe.

Before treatment, it is a good idea to have a consultation and check whether they accurately identify the type of your acne and how far it has progressed. If you proceed with that in mind, you are more likely to get good results.
