Hello.
This is Jin Young Lim,
Chief Director of Piaf Clinic.
"I’ve changed my skincare products,
and I’ve even gotten treatments,
so why does everything still seem the same?"
Even though you’re clearly making an effort,
you start to feel anxious when there’s no change,
and you may even begin to wonder
if you’re doing something wrong.
People around you only offer obvious advice like
"You’re just tired," or
"Try cutting back on greasy food,"
and because no one clearly tells you
what to do right now,
you may have felt even more frustrated.

So today, for those of you
looking into Jangji-dong Dermatology,
I’d like to organize only the key points
that absolutely need to be addressed.
If you read this post,
you’ll clearly understand why the methods
you’ve tried so far have not improved things,
and from what perspective
you should look at the problem
to achieve real improvement.
Please read it slowly.

Jangji-dong Dermatology:
there is no point in only
dealing with what you can see
Many people try to solve acne and enlarged pores
by changing their cleansing products
and applying moisturizing cream carefully.
Of course, cleansing and moisturizing
are the basics of skin care.
But these methods do not address
the real reason the problem developed.

Acne is a cycle in which
the sebaceous glands become overly active,
causing clogging and inflammation,
and enlarged pores are not simply
an issue that appears because the skin is oily.
They occur because the elastic fibers
and collagen deep within the skin weaken,
and the skin loses the strength
that supports its structure.
Just as the holes in an old net stretch and grow larger,
when the surrounding tissue collapses,
it can no longer firmly support the pore,
and it eventually becomes fixed in an open shape.

"Then would washing my face more often help?"
Unfortunately,
a damaged internal structure cannot be restored
no matter how much you care for it from the outside.
No matter how diligently you cleanse,
if the inside has weakened,
the same symptoms will keep recurring.
Both the inside and the outside
need to be addressed.
"Then what is the right approach?"
The key point we want to share at Jangji-dong Dermatology is this.
You need a combined approach that
both stabilizes overly active sebaceous glands
and induces collagen to be regenerated
in the dermis.
If you focus on only one side,
you will soon return to the original condition.

If you only reduce sebum,
the tissue will open up again if it is weak,
and conversely,
even if the tissue recovers,
inflammation can recur if the sebaceous glands
remain overly active.
Recently, methods that use fine needles
and specific energy to deliver stimulation
to deeper layers have been used.
These methods help calm excessive sebaceous gland activity
while also encouraging new collagen synthesis,
strengthening the inside.
Just as you would replace a loose support structure
with a new one,
you need to regain elasticity from the inside
to keep the pores in a more orderly state.
So the goal is not simply
to make them look smaller,
but to accurately identify why they became enlarged
and then proceed with internal rebuilding
and sebum control together.
Please keep this in mind,
because that is what can lead to results
that last over time.

Jangji-dong Dermatology:
You need to accurately understand
your skin condition
"If I receive the same treatment
that worked well for someone else,
won’t it work for me too?"
Unfortunately,
it is not that simple.
Even if it looks like the same concern,
depending on what stage you are at now,
how far it has progressed,
and which cause is having the greater effect,
the approach needed can be completely different.
Some people may be in an active phase
where acne keeps appearing,
while others may have reduced inflammation
but loosened tissue and remaining scars,
and still others may simply have a type
with particularly high sebum production.
Even if age and skin type seem similar,
depending on stress levels, lifestyle patterns,
hormonal status, and more,
the way the skin responds can be completely different
from person to person.

In addition, factors such as
whether you want to return quickly to daily life,
or whether you want definite improvement
n
even if it takes time,
and your personal situation and priorities
must all be taken into account.
Rather than blindly following a trending procedure,
the first step should be to discuss sufficiently
with a specialist and confirm what your skin
really needs right now.
In the end, what matters is not
"which method is popular,"
but whether it is suitable for your current condition.

Today, I explained the things
you need to know if you are looking into
Jangji-dong Dermatology because of acne and enlarged pores.
To summarize once again,
these concerns are not caused simply
by having too much sebum;
they are the result of changes happening
together in the skin’s internal structure and function.
That is why a comprehensive approach
that suppresses sebaceous gland activity
and rebuilds collagen in the dermis
can be truly helpful.

And above all,
it is most important to create a plan
that suits you through consultation.
Thank you for reading this long post to the end.
This has been Jin Young Lim,
Chief Director of Piaf Clinic.
