Yeongdeungpo acne care: Why does it keep coming back even after extraction?

"Every time I got acne, I squeezed it cleanly,
but it keeps coming back in the same spot.
Did I not squeeze it properly?"
Many people have probably experienced acne coming back in the same spot after a while, even if they squeezed it out as well as they could.
Extraction itself is not wrong, but if the cause of the acne does not go away, it can easily recur, which becomes a problem.
Today, let’s look at why acne care is difficult with extraction alone, and how to help prevent acne from recurring.

Why does it recur even after extraction?
Extraction is a method of removing acne that has already formed. So after extraction, it feels relieving right away.
The red raised area calms down, and if it was pustular acne, the pus comes out and the condition seems to improve.

But the factory that produces sebum, that is, the sebaceous glands, remain in place. Even after extraction, the sebaceous glands continue to secrete sebum.
If you produce a lot of sebum, pores can easily become clogged again, and in the end, there is a high chance that acne will recur in the same spot.
Extraction is a symptomatic treatment, so it is closer to managing already existing symptoms.
If you want to prevent recurrence, you need to approach the sebaceous glands themselves, which produce sebum.

Then how do you control the sebaceous glands?
If your skin tends to have acne that easily recurs, you need care that properly suppresses the sebaceous glands. Broadly, there are two methods: NeoBeam and Agnes.

First, NeoBeam is a procedure that uses a 1450 nm wavelength laser.
This wavelength passes through the skin surface almost entirely while responding selectively only to the sebaceous glands.
When the laser energy is absorbed by the sebaceous glands, heat is generated, reducing the size of the sebaceous glands or weakening their function.

During the procedure, the DCD cooling system works to reduce the discomfort you feel.
It cools the skin surface instantly while the laser is delivered, helping protect it, which is why pain and the risk of burns are relatively low.

Next, Agnes is a procedure that selectively destroys the sebaceous glands by inserting a fine insulated needle into the skin and delivering radiofrequency energy.
Since the energy is emitted only from the tip of the needle, the skin surface and surrounding tissue are protected while targeting only the problematic sebaceous glands.
If acne keeps recurring in only a specific area and causes distress, Agnes, which makes it easier to approach a localized area, may be effective.

Why do they photograph the skin for acne treatment?
Before full-scale consultation and treatment, a process of photographing the face with a skin analysis device such as Mark-Vu is performed.
If they judge immediately based only on the naked eye and start treatment, there may be areas that are missed.
When the entire face is photographed with a skin analysis device, problems that were not visible to the naked eye become apparent.

Mark-Vu
Devices like Mark-Vu analyze the skin from multiple angles using various light sources such as normal light, shine light, ultraviolet light, and polarized light.
Because it captures images in high definition with 18 million pixels, even very detailed areas can be checked.
It quantifies and displays at least 12 factors, including pigmentation in the epidermis and dermis, redness, pore distribution, sebum levels by area, and fine wrinkles.

Why this matters is that, for example, when sebum distribution is identified accurately, it becomes clear which areas should receive focused NeoBeam treatment and where Agnes may be needed.
So rather than dealing only with visible acne, this is an important step for analysis because it allows customized diagnosis and treatment while considering the balance of the entire skin.
Today, among the Yeongdeungpo acne care methods, we looked at why it is difficult to prevent recurrence with extraction alone, and how controlling the sebaceous glands can help prevent acne from coming back.
Many people think that if acne comes back even after extraction, they should just have the extraction done more cleanly and thoroughly.
However, no matter how perfect the extraction is, it may reduce the immediate symptoms, but it can be difficult to prevent recurrence.
So first, it would be good to receive a precise skin analysis, find the problem causing the acne, and break the cycle of recurring acne by addressing that issue.
