Yeongdeungpo acne treatment

"I've had extractions and taken medication,

but as soon as I stop, it comes back in the same spot."

This is something we often hear in the consultation room.

If acne keeps recurring even after undergoing treatment for quite some time,

it may be a sign that simply calming the acne that has appeared now

does not address everything that needs to be resolved.

Today, we'll look at what perspective to take

when acne keeps recurring,

together with relevant clinical research.

  1. Why does acne keep recurring in the same spot?

Acne develops when sebum and

dead skin cells build up inside the pores,

followed by inflammation.

The problem is that when the sebaceous glands

that produce sebum are overactive,

the underlying cause remains even if the surface is cleared.

Extractions, topical medications, and oral medications

are not inappropriate treatments.

However, because they primarily manage the lesions that have appeared,

if the sebaceous glands remain overactive,

acne may come back in the same spot.

That is why, when acne recurs frequently during treatment,

there are cases where the sebaceous glands

one level beneath the surface should also be examined.

  1. Recurring acne:

Can treating the sebaceous glands make a difference?

Overactive sebaceous glands can have their activity reduced

using radiofrequency (RF) microneedling,

such as Agnes.

The principle is to insert fine needles to the depth of the pores

and deliver heat only at the depth where the sebaceous glands are located,

thereby reducing their activity.

This approach selectively targets the area responsible for the problem

while minimizing damage to the epidermis.

There is a study examining whether this method is actually effective,

so let's take a look at it together.

This was a randomized controlled study in which patients

with moderate to severe acne were divided into two groups.

One group received three RF microneedling treatments

at four-week intervals,

while the other received only conventional needling

and extractions.

The image above shows before treatment,

and the image below shows the condition

at 12 weeks after three treatments.

At 12 weeks, the number of inflammatory acne lesions

in the treatment group had decreased by an average of about 17,

which was a meaningful reduction compared with the control group

(approximately 3 lesions).

The key point is that the treatment targeted

the sebaceous glands responsible for the cause,

rather than the surface.

The significance of this approach lies in directly treating

the area that creates the cycle of recurrence.

  1. Could I also see results?

Sebaceous gland treatment directly targets

the sebaceous glands themselves,

so many people saw results after treatment.

It was particularly effective for people

whose inflammatory acne repeatedly appeared

in the same area, or whose high sebum production

made their pores prone to clogging.

However, if the cause of sebaceous gland activation

has not been addressed,

acne may recur.

If you are not getting enough sleep,

experiencing significant stress,

or have an issue with hormonal regulation,

the sebaceous glands may become active again

even after their activity has been reduced.

Therefore, it is important to also examine

and manage other factors that can trigger acne.

If you are concerned because your acne keeps recurring

even after receiving Yeongdeungpo acne treatment,

the place to start is by looking at where the cause of your acne lies.

If you have felt limited by care focused only

on calming the acne that has appeared,

an approach that also considers the sebaceous glands

may be helpful.

Even when the same equipment is used,

the treatment approach varies depending on the condition

and stage of the skin.

Therefore, please consult thoroughly with a medical professional

experienced in acne treatment before choosing the method

that is right for you.
