Yeongdeungpo Acne Treatment: How Can You Get Results from Procedures?

"I squeezed a pimple thoroughly once,

and it left a scar...

I took medicine and got treatment, but when another one came up, I squeezed it again.

I worry that repeating that isn’t good for my skin..."

I understand how hard it is to resist the urge to squeeze a pimple when it appears. When you see a yellow, well-developed(?) pimple, you naturally want to squeeze it out completely.

But if you keep squeezing them like that, whenever a pimple appears in the same spot, you start wondering whether it is really okay to keep squeezing it.

At that point, you may look for a clinic and consider treatment.

Sometimes you may also hear that skin procedures are not very effective for acne, so some people hesitate to get treatment at all.

So today, let’s look at why acne develops and also learn in detail how to prevent acne that keeps coming back.

Yeongdeungpo Acne Treatment Why does acne occur?

First, let’s look at why acne develops.

To get straight to the point, acne is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged due to excessive sebum production.

In normal skin, sebum moves up along the hair follicle and is naturally discharged to the outside of the skin.

Because sebum plays an important role in protecting and moisturizing our skin, an appropriate amount helps protect the skin. But problems begin when too much sebum is produced.

When there is too much sebum, it mixes with dead skin cells and clogs the pores.

Then, inside the blocked pore, acne bacteria (P. acnes), which thrive in oxygen-free environments, multiply rapidly.

As this bacteria breaks down sebum as food and produces substances, it irritates the follicle wall and eventually triggers an inflammatory response.

There are also various types of acne.

Whiteheads (closed comedones) are a state where the pores are completely blocked and the sebum appears white.

Blackheads (open comedones) occur when the pore opening is partially open and the sebum exposed to air oxidizes and turns black.

If it progresses further, it becomes papular acne. This is the stage where it becomes red, swollen, and tender to the touch.

If the inflammation gets worse and pus forms, it becomes pustular acne, and if it develops deeper into the skin, it can progress to nodular acne or cystic acne.

If acne keeps recurring in the same area, it is not something temporary; it may also mean that the sebaceous glands in that area are particularly active.

So the answer to why acne keeps appearing is that the skin is not properly regulating the amount of sebum it produces.

Yeongdeungpo Acne Treatment How NeoBeam works and what it does

Before explaining NeoBeam, I often heard that skin procedures are not effective for acne.

I thought about why that might be and also asked about cases during consultations.

It seemed that people had only received procedures to temporarily clear existing sebum or used only methods that could temporarily relieve symptoms.

Looking at that point in light of the acne causes mentioned earlier, the conclusion is that to suppress acne, sebum production needs to be normalized.

In that respect, the NeoBeam procedure can help.

NeoBeam is a procedure that uses a laser with a 1450nm wavelength.

When the laser is directed at the sebaceous glands, heat is generated, which reduces the size of the sebaceous glands or weakens their function.

In simple terms, it reduces the output of the factory that creates acne itself.

As a result, the chance of pores being blocked by excessive sebum decreases, and an environment in which acne bacteria can multiply becomes harder to maintain.

That can help prevent new acne from appearing and also relieve acne that has already formed.

During the procedure, a built-in cooling system emits cold cooling gas before the laser reaches the skin, protecting the surface.

It is relatively low in pain, to the point that it can be received without numbing cream.

Yeongdeungpo Acne Treatment Is there a way to avoid acne scars?

People who are especially troubled by acne worry about scarring.

To put it simply, you need to respond quickly in the early stages and use appropriate care methods.

Acne scars form when the follicle wall weakened by inflammation ruptures under excessive pressure, and sebum and inflammatory substances spread deep into the skin.

If the dermis is damaged in this process, it remains as an uneven scar.

That is why, when acne appears, some people try to squeeze it themselves at home using home extraction kits, their hands, cotton swabs, and so on because they think it should be squeezed out quickly.

The only advantage of self-extraction is just one thing.

"The pleasure you feel yourself"

If you squeeze acne with unsterilized hands or tools, there is a high risk of secondary infection.

In particular, if too much force is used during the squeezing process and pressure is not properly controlled, the sebum may not come out but instead burst inward, spreading inflammation and leaving marks.

So for pustular acne, where yellow pus has risen and is often described as being well-developed(?), we recommend professional extraction at a clinic.

At the clinic, a sterile lancet is used to make an accurate opening, the pore is widened, and the comedone is removed with an extractor.

Because sterilization and care are provided before and after extraction, the risk of infection is low and scarring can be minimized.

However, extraction alone makes it difficult to prevent recurrence, so procedures for sebum control, as mentioned earlier, should be combined to prevent acne from repeatedly coming back.

The key to Yeongdeungpo Acne Treatment is addressing the cause of acne: excessive sebum production.

If acne keeps recurring, it is essentially the skin signaling that this level of sebum production will continue to cause problems.

If you catch that signal well and receive treatment at the right time, you will be able to care for your skin without worrying about acne, scars, or marks.
