“Even after acne treatment, it doesn’t go away..”

When talking with people who visit for acne treatment, many say that even though they have been managing it consistently at home or at a clinic, it still does not improve easily.

After trying everything from creams and ointments said to be good for acne to dermatology treatments, some even ask, “Is acne really something that can’t be treated?”

If it does not improve even after consistent care, it is natural to feel frustrated.

But rather than feeling discouraged, it may help to check what is lacking in the current treatment process.

Today, let’s talk about ways to more reliably prevent recurring acne.

When starting acne treatment, many people expect it to improve quickly.

But acne is one of the more difficult skin concerns to approach.

So why does acne recur even after treatment?

On the surface of our skin, there is a protective layer of dead skin cells, and this layer protects the skin through a cycle in which new dead skin cells are created while older ones shed away.

But when this process breaks down, dead skin cells block the pores, preventing sebum from escaping.

This becomes the starting point of acne.

However, the problem with acne is not only dead skin cells.

Even if you regularly exfoliate, if sebum production is excessive compared with the rate at which dead skin cells are removed, the pores become clogged and lead to inflammation.

Therefore, the key to acne treatment is to reduce the skin cycle and inflammation while restoring overall skin balance in a healthy way.

  1. Scaling and extraction

The most basic procedure commonly recommended at dermatology clinics is extraction.

In the case of whiteheads, sebum in the pores can be expelled to help prevent inflammation, and inflammatory acne can be calmed quickly with minimal pressure while preventing it from spreading to surrounding areas.

However, an important point here is that it should be performed together with “scaling.”

Extraction is effective for improving acne that has already surfaced, but it cannot clean every pore one by one.

Even if they are not visible on the surface, pores with accumulated waste can later turn into acne again over time.

What helps prevent this recurrence is scaling.

If you also care for dead skin cells and waste inside the pores, it can help reduce the rate at which acne develops.

  1. Sebum laser​​

Even if the pores are kept clean, acne can still return if sebum production is rapid.

In fact, when the sebaceous glands are genetically more developed, waste tends to build up in the pores more easily.

In such cases, rather than simply clearing the skin, an approach that regulates the sebaceous glands themselves is needed.

For example, laser devices such as NeoBeam and Agnes act selectively by targeting the sebaceous glands.

NeoBeam is a 1450nm diode laser that can reach deep into the sebaceous glands and help broadly improve inflammatory acne and whiteheads.

Agnes, on the other hand, uses a micro-insulated needle to deliver radiofrequency directly to the sebaceous glands, allowing for a more precise treatment approach.

If acne keeps recurring like this, it may be worth considering laser procedures to address the root cause.

There are likely many people who received Hongdae acne treatment but felt no effect and became discouraged.

The treatment you have received so far is also likely to have been a meaningful process.

However, because acne is influenced by multiple causes working together, it is not easy to resolve completely with just one method.

Please refer to what was explained today and try to set up a systematic treatment plan that suits you.
