What if skincare alone can’t control pustular acne?

“Severely inflamed acne is supposed to clear up if you squeeze it well,

so we disinfect it and squeeze it hygienically.

But it keeps flaring up badly,

and I don’t know what to do...”

Pustular acne is painful even to the touch, and even if you carefully squeeze it and manage it in the hope that it will calm down, it often does not go away easily.

Pustular acne forms when sebum, bacteria, and inflammatory cells become tangled deep inside the pores, so managing only the surface does not solve it well.

If handled incorrectly, the inflammation can go deeper or spread to surrounding areas, leaving only scars behind.

So today, we’ll take a detailed look at why pustular acne appears in a severely inflamed form, and how it is managed through skin scaling and the NeoBeam laser.

Why does pustular acne become severely inflamed?

First, let’s look at why pustular acne tends to appear in such a severely inflamed form.

Sebum secretion

When the sebaceous glands become overactive and sebum production becomes excessive, more sebum is produced than can be normally discharged through the pores, and it becomes tangled with dead skin cells, blocking the pore openings.

Sebum keeps being produced, but since there is no way out, sebum and dead skin cells continue to accumulate inside the pores.

Then, acne-causing bacteria rapidly increase inside the blocked pores. These bacteria prefer oxygen-free environments, so they multiply quickly inside clogged pores.

As these bacteria break down sebum, they release fatty acids and inflammation-causing substances, which our body recognizes as a kind of “foreign invader.”

As a result, white blood cells in the body fight the acne bacteria, pus is formed, and if the follicle wall ruptures, inflammation spreads to the surrounding dermis. That is how pustular acne is created.

That is why pustular acne often feels deep and firm when touched, and is frequently accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain.

In the end, the conclusion is that this chain reaction of excess sebum, blocked pores, bacterial growth, and inflammatory response must be interrupted in order to improve pustular acne.

Scaling that clears the stage before inflammation

When people hear “scaling,” many first think of the dental scaling used to remove tartar.

There is also skin scaling performed to manage dead skin cells and relieve acne.

Scaling is a process that removes dead skin cells and oxidized sebum, the so-called blackheads and whiteheads, that block pore openings and opens up the clogged pathways.

It is performed by gently dissolving the stratum corneum and sebum with medication. Rather than forcefully squeezing out already severe inflammatory pustular acne, its main purpose is to remove microcomedones or blackheads in the pre-inflammatory stage.

Since most pustular acne also develops through mild comedones or acne stages, you can think of it as a step that clears the way before it progresses into pustular acne.

After scaling, the pore openings are cleared, allowing sebum to drain more smoothly, which reduces the risk of new pustular acne appearing.

As the stratum corneum is smoothed out, the absorption rate of topical skin products improves, and other treatments can work better as well.

NeoBeam that helps regulate the sebaceous glands

If scaling removes already accumulated dead skin cells and sebum, NeoBeam can be thought of as addressing the cause of excessive sebum production.

NeoBeam is a diode laser that uses a 1450nm wavelength.

Because the laser energy passes through the skin surface and penetrates directly into the sebaceous glands, there is less concern about damage to the skin’s outer layer.

When the laser’s thermal energy causes thermal damage to the sebaceous glands, the size of the glands decreases and their activity in producing sebum also drops.

When sebum secretion decreases, the nutrients available to acne bacteria are cut off, which helps prevent acne from worsening.

If scaling is the idea of opening the pathway, NeoBeam is like tightening the faucet.

Today, for those who are worried about pustular acne, we summarized Yeongdeungpo acne treatment methods using scaling and NeoBeam.

Pustular acne should not be approached by simply squeezing the visible part; treatment efficiency can be improved by intervening in the processes happening inside the skin.

If you change the skin environment that makes acne easy to form, the frequency and intensity of large pustular acne recurring as before will decrease.

Therefore, if your symptoms are severe, it would be better not to worry alone, but to receive a consultation slowly and get the appropriate diagnosis and treatment for your skin condition.
