Need Scar Management?

'I squeezed it myself, and it left a scar.'

'After extraction, it spread even more.'

When you keep seeing a red pimple that catches your eye, you can feel the urge to just squeeze it with your hands.

In fact, squeezing acne is not simply a matter of popping a blemish on the skin’s surface.

Especially when you pop acne yourself at home with your hands, if you are not careful,

it can cause skin damage, hyperpigmentation, and in severe cases, even scars.

So today, I’d like to talk about how professional acne extraction is performed.

This is about how to extract acne in a way that reduces scarring, so if you are troubled by mature pimples, I hope you read this first.

Hongdae Acne Extraction

What kind of procedure is it?

Acne extraction is a procedure that removes sebum, dead skin cells, inflammatory substances, and more accumulated inside the skin using appropriate tools and techniques.

It is a procedure that can help prevent inflammation from worsening and support skin recovery.

Rather than simply the idea of 'squeezing it out,' it is better understood as part of treatment that safely opens a relatively secure path for sebum to be discharged.

In general, the pores are opened first, then sebum or pus is removed using sterilized instruments, and if necessary, soothing and anti-inflammatory care is also provided.

This can help prevent worsening inflammatory acne and reduce recurring breakouts.

How is a hospital procedure different?

Many people may have tried squeezing acne with their hands in front of a mirror.

As mentioned earlier, pressing with your hands or squeezing acne forcefully without proper hygiene can cause various problems for the skin.

The biggest problem is bacterial infection.

If the hands or tools are not properly sterilized and the skin is irritated, bacteria can enter through the pores and inflammation can worsen.

Also, if the skin is squeezed with improper pressure, the dermis can be easily damaged,

which may lead to hyperpigmentation or sunken scars.

In particular, deep-rooted acne or inflammatory acne is often spread more widely beneath the skin than it appears on the surface,

so if it is touched the wrong way, there is also a risk that the skin tissue may tear and the inflammation may spread to surrounding areas.

On the other hand, in a hospital, the skin condition is accurately diagnosed first, and the procedure is performed using sterilized instruments and stable pressure control,

so you can feel relatively less concerned about those risks.

Another major issue that occurs when acne is squeezed incorrectly is pitted scars and hyperpigmentation.

In hospitals, after extraction, depending on the degree of inflammation, antibiotic application, soothing masks, and LED therapy may be combined if needed,

so they can also help minimize progression to hyperpigmentation or scars.

How often should you get it?

The timing and frequency of acne extraction can vary depending on the skin condition.

If you have oily skin with excessive sebum buildup, or skin whose pores are clogged and inflammation occurs frequently,

regular care every 2 to 4 weeks may be recommended.

However, since it varies depending on the type of acne and how far it has progressed,

it is most effective to consult a board-certified dermatologist before the procedure and make a plan that suits your skin.

Hongdae acne extraction may vary in timing and frequency depending on the skin condition.

Also, because it depends on the type of acne and its progression, please consult a skin expert before treatment to create a plan suited to your skin.
