Yeongdeungpo acne care,
Don’t just look at reviews—
check this first

“I'm definitely taking care of my skin, and I’m careful when washing my face...
so why do I keep getting acne?”
There are cases where acne keeps recurring even though you’re paying attention to cleansing and doing what you can for skin care.
Especially these days, many people think in terms of the smooth, clear skin they see on TV celebrities, so even minor breakouts can cause a lot of concern.
However, if it keeps recurring in the same area or doesn’t calm down easily, it’s important to look at the cause first rather than simply relying on reviews.
So today, I’ll explain the real reason acne keeps recurring and how it should be approached.

Why does acne occur?
There are cases where acne keeps recurring even though you’re careful with cleansing and are, in your own way, taking care of your skin.
This is often not simply because care is lacking, but because there is another recurring cause deep within the skin.
A representative example is a problem related to sebum secretion.

When too much sebum is produced, it mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the follicle opening, allowing acne-causing bacteria to multiply inside and leading to inflammation.
The most important factor in this process is sebum.
Sebum originally serves to protect the skin, but when it is produced in excess, it instead contributes to clogged pores.
That is why cleansing or general care alone is often not enough to address the cause of recurring acne.

Solving the cause by controlling the sebaceous glands
When thinking about acne treatment, many people tend to focus on extraction, anti-inflammatory injections, or skincare procedures.
These methods can help clear acne that has already appeared, but they have limitations when it comes to addressing the root cause of recurring acne.
In particular, if sebum secretion is excessive, it is necessary to consider treatment that also controls the sebaceous glands themselves.

A commonly used method is the NeoBeam laser.
NeoBeam is a 1450 nm wavelength laser that delivers energy to the depth where the sebaceous glands are located without causing major damage to the skin surface.
The delivered thermal energy acts on the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum production.

In practice, there are not a few people who say, “After the NeoBeam procedure, sebum production decreased and my recurring acne improved.”
In this way, it is important to manage the skin condition overall while also controlling the sebaceous glands.
Relatedly, I’ll leave a case of acne treatment that also involved restoring the skin barrier below for your reference.

What if scars are also stressful?
Even after acne has settled to some extent, many people remain stressed because of red marks or depressed scars.
This part needs to be approached with a slightly different standard.
Red acne marks can be understood as a state in which dilated blood vessels remain after inflammation has passed.

In such cases, a vascular laser such as Vbeam is used.
It is a treatment that reacts selectively to hemoglobin in the blood and helps reduce redness.
Because epidermal damage is minimal and the recovery period is relatively short, it can usually be done without much disruption to daily life.

On the other hand, in the case of depressed scars, the skin tissue has been damaged and the structure itself has collapsed.
In this case, the approach is to induce collagen regeneration in the dermal layer, using a laser such as Icon.
You can think of it as a treatment that selectively delivers energy to part of the skin to help damaged tissue recover.
In many cases, red marks and depressed scars are present together, so depending on the skin condition, the two treatments may be performed together.
When looking at Yeongdeungpo acne patients, it is surprising how often people wash their face too frequently.
That is because, since the skin is oily, they think they need to wash more often and more vigorously.
However, when cleansing is done too often or too harshly, the skin barrier can actually be damaged, and sebum production may increase even more.

So instead of increasing how often you wash your face, it is more important to use a gentle product and cleanse without irritation.
And there is one thing I especially want to mention. The habit of squeezing acne with your hands is more burdensome to the skin than you might think.
This is because bacteria from your hands can get in and make the inflammation worse, and if the pressure is not properly controlled, it often leads to scarring.
In particular, repeatedly irritating the same area can make acne last longer or leave marks.
So it is best not to touch acne with your hands whenever possible, and if needed, it is better to manage it by receiving treatment at the appropriate time.
