They say acne

naturally settles down

after puberty,

You may have heard that at least once.

But when I think of the faces I see in the consultation room, I find that this saying does not always hold true.

Many people continue to struggle with recurring acne around their chins and cheeks even well into their twenties and after turning thirty.

Today, for those of you who came across this post while looking for Bundang acne treatment, I would like to calmly look at whether acne really disappears as we age.

That same spot that keeps coming back

every time you look in the mirror,

it catches your eye, doesn't it?

Even if you cover it with makeup, it

stands out again by evening,

and even after trying various

cosmetics said to be good,

the effect only lasts for a while,

so you may be feeling worn out.

I often hear in the consultation room that

even after visiting a dermatologist

for several years,

the skin only improved temporarily.

If you read this post to the end,

you may gain a clearer understanding of

why acne remains even in adulthood

and what to look at first.

By the way, people who travel

from Bundang toward Gangnam

also visit us from time to time.

I would first like to mention that Easyham Dermatology

is located near Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station

in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

The story of someone who kept putting it off, thinking it would eventually go away

A 31-year-old patient

came to see me recently.

During school, the only issue

had been a little acne on the forehead,

but after starting work,

red, firm acne began appearing

repeatedly along the jawline.

They were upset and asked,

“People said it would disappear with age,

so why is mine getting worse?”

Late-night work,

irregular meals, and accumulating

stress had come together,

and marks had also started to remain.

They cautiously confided that

they had begun to avoid looking in the mirror.

In fact, most people who come in

with concerns like these

have already tried many methods

on their own.

I first told them that I fully

understood how they felt,

and began the conversation by

carefully looking together at

the condition of their skin at that moment.

There are reasons acne remains even in adulthood

Acne is a skin condition in which

excessive sebum is produced,

the opening of a pore becomes blocked,

and acne-causing bacteria inside

trigger inflammation.

Put simply, it may be easier to understand

if you imagine a drain whose passage

for oil to escape has become narrow.

When oil and dead skin cells

become tangled and block the opening,

it is as if inflammation is

boiling inside.

In adulthood, hormonal changes,

stress, lack of sleep,

and unsuitable cleansing habits

can act as triggers.

Adult acne in particular

often settles in the lower areas,

such as the chin and around the mouth,

and frequently becomes red and swollen

or forms firm lumps,

making marks more likely to remain for a long time.

So when considering Bundang acne treatment,

rather than simply squeezing or covering it,

it is important to first look into

why sebum and inflammation keep recurring.

We examine everything from sebum to marks in stages

When we assess Bundang acne treatment,

we broadly divide the process

into three areas.

First, if there is a lot of active acne,

we use AtLaser to gently regulate

the sebaceous glands themselves,

which produce oil, to reduce sebum production

and refine the appearance of the pores.

When skin scaling and PDT scaling

are added to remove blocked dead skin cells

and sebum, the skin feels more refreshed.

If red marks or flushing remain,

we use IPL to even out the skin's texture.

This is usually performed about twice

during the acne treatment process.

AtLaser and IPL may cause

a prickling sensation and warmth,

so we apply numbing cream

when necessary.

However, recovery time and responses

vary from person to person,

so the number of sessions needed

is determined after examining the skin's condition.

The treatment plan we established together

For the patient I mentioned earlier,

we first focused on calming

the active acne.

After combining sebum control

and scaling and allowing the condition

to stabilize, we planned to treat

the remaining red marks with IPL

and refine the texture of the slightly indented scars

with CLO Scar Restoration, in that order.

When active acne is present,

it is important not to rush into scar treatment

and to follow the proper sequence.

Above all, I advised the patient

to reduce all-nighters,

switch to gentler cleansing,

and take care of these lifestyle habits together.

In this way, Bundang acne treatment

is not something that ends with a single procedure.

It is closer to a process of supporting the skin

as it finds its natural rhythm again.

I hope you will not put it off simply because of your age

When people rely on the belief

that acne will disappear with age

and put off treatment for too long,

I often see the marks and scars

remain longer than the acne itself.

Of course, everyone's skin and causes

are different, so there is no single answer

that applies to everyone.

That is why I always keep

natural results without excess

and honest medical care in mind.

If you have been considering Bundang acne treatment today,

I am leaving this post with the hope

that you will not dismiss the signals

your skin is sending as being caused only by age.

I hope your skin becomes

a little more comfortable.

Questions the director often receives in the consultation room

Q1. Why does acne develop

even after we become adults?

Adult acne often develops through

a combination of hormonal changes,

stress, and sleep and eating habits.

While adolescent acne tends to appear

on the forehead and cheeks,

adult acne tends to recur

in lower areas such as the chin and around the mouth,

so it can be helpful to examine the causes first.

Q2. Is it okay to squeeze acne

with my hands to get rid of it?

Squeezing too forcefully can deepen inflammation

and make marks more likely to remain.

The more an acne lesion is festering beneath the skin,

the more we recommend managing sebum

and inflammation according to the skin's condition

rather than touching it yourself.

Q3. What are the benefits

of getting help from a dermatologist?

At-home care naturally has its limits,

but at a dermatology clinic,

sebum control, the management of dead skin cells

and sebum, and care for marks

can be addressed in stages.

The biggest difference is that we identify

which stage your skin is in

and establish the proper sequence.

Q4. Are the procedures very painful?

Scaling causes little irritation,

while AtLaser and IPL may cause

a prickling sensation and warmth.

If necessary, we apply numbing cream

in advance, so you do not need to worry too much.

However, the level of sensation

varies slightly from person to person.
