Gold PTT & Potenza Sebaceous Gland Destruction

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Dapsimni!

Inflammatory acne often does not heal easily once it appears, and it frequently comes back even after treatment. It may seem like a simple problem on the skin’s surface, but in reality, it is often a chronic condition caused by repeated activity of the sebaceous glands and inflammatory responses within the skin! That is why it is difficult to resolve with simple squeezing or temporary calming methods alone. Today, let’s look at the causes of recurrent inflammatory acne and various treatments that can help reduce it.

Causes of recurrent inflammatory acne

The reason inflammatory acne keeps recurring cannot be explained by just one cause. Excess sebum production is the basic factor, but when dead skin cells inside the pores do not shed properly, sebum builds up, and bacterial growth is added on top of that, inflammation can easily occur. In particular, adolescence or periods of significant hormonal change, as well as hormonal imbalance caused by stress and lack of sleep, are important factors that worsen acne.

Lifestyle habits also have a major impact. Eating greasy foods, irregular meals, excessive drinking, and frequent smoking can weaken the skin’s immunity and cause acne to recur. Because these various factors act together, acne can keep coming back unless proper management is maintained even after treatment.

<Causes of recurrent inflammatory acne>

• Sebum buildup in pores / bacterial growth / worsening inflammation

• Repeated inflammation in deeper layers of the skin

• Treatment that directly regulates sebaceous gland function is needed

What is Gold PTT?

Accordingly, a treatment that can control the sebaceous glands themselves is needed! The first treatment to look at is Gold PTT. After applying fine gold nanoparticles to the skin and then irradiating them with a laser of a specific wavelength, these particles are selectively absorbed by the sebaceous glands. The absorbed gold particles then convert the laser energy into heat, which suppresses sebaceous gland function.

Its characteristic is that it is effective for acne spread widely across the skin. Inflammatory acne usually appears locally in specific areas, but it often shows up in multiple spots across broad areas such as the forehead or cheeks. In such cases, Gold PTT is advantageous because it evenly regulates the sebaceous glands overall and helps stabilize the skin’s condition.

<Advantages of Gold PTT>

• Application of fine gold nanoparticles to the skin

• Stabilizes excessive sebaceous gland activity / precise targeting

• Effective for widespread acne / minimal damage to surrounding tissue

Effects of Gold PTT

Various additional effects can be expected, including acne improvement. As sebum production is controlled, pores gradually become more refined, and the greasiness caused by excess sebum is also relieved. At the same time, inflammatory reactions on the skin surface decrease, so redness and red marks can gradually fade, and the skin tone may become more even.

Above all, it can be very helpful in reducing recurring acne that keeps coming back from time to time! Because it controls the structural problem of overactive sebaceous glands, the effects can be maintained for a long period even after treatment is completed. It is also relatively less painful, so if you are struggling with widespread inflammatory acne, we recommend considering it:)

Potenza Sebaceous Gland Destruction

Next, Potenza sebaceous gland destruction is a method that uses a microneedle device to enter the skin directly and deliver radiofrequency energy. As the needles enter the skin, damage to the epidermis is minimized, and the radiofrequency reaches the sebaceous glands located deep in the dermis, partially destroying them. This can directly block the cause of localized, recurring inflammatory acne.

In particular, when acne appears intensively in specific areas—for example, recurrent inflammatory acne on the chin or around the mouth—Potenza is more suitable. Because it can be performed precisely on the necessary areas, it has the advantage of focusing on the problem area without unnecessarily affecting healthy sebaceous glands. That is why it is a treatment recommended for patients whose acne keeps recurring in specific areas rather than over a wide area.

<Potenza Sebaceous Gland Destruction>

• Microneedles / penetrates into the dermis inside the skin

• Directly destroys sebaceous glands with radiofrequency

• Selective treatment for recurring inflammatory areas / suitable for recurrent sites

How can inflammatory acne be managed?

To manage inflammatory acne, lifestyle management must be carried out alongside treatment. Regular sleep is important for maintaining hormonal balance, and drinking enough water helps skin metabolism function smoothly. Also, cleansing the face about twice a day in a way that minimizes skin irritation is recommended.

Diet also cannot be ignored. Greasy or sugary foods stimulate sebum production, so reducing them is helpful, and a balanced diet centered on vegetables and protein is beneficial. Most importantly, do not squeeze or irritate acne with your hands. If you combine these proper lifestyle habits with professional dermatological treatment, you can greatly reduce the recurrence of inflammatory acne:)
