"At this point, I really want to part ways with breakouts.
I’ve even tried care sessions several times,
but eventually, as time passes,
they come back again.. It’s really stressful."
"When I was younger, I thought, ‘Well, it’s adolescence, so that can happen..’
But even after becoming an adult,
I’m still struggling a lot because of acne.."

Hello. I’m Bang Chan-il, the chief director, and I do my best to provide satisfying results to each and every person.
When people think of acne, the treatments or care that come to mind are probably extraction and medication.
It’s uncommon for people to think of laser treatment.
Of course, depending on the type, some people need lasers and some do not.
Although we generally call the yellowish pus on the face acne,
if you look closely, the shape and lesions are all different.
It may not even be acne.

Folliculitis, steroid acne, shingles, demodex, and so on
can be thought of as relatives of acne.
Even if they look similar,
the causes and treatments are different.
That is why I mentioned earlier that lasers may be necessary,
or they may not be.
For those who visit us with these concerns,
we do not recommend lasers unconditionally.
We make a careful diagnosis and proceed only when they are truly necessary.

What method do we use?
We perform Gold PTT, which I described as the strongest option.
It is one of the treatments that is well loved at our clinic.
Using a low-irritation nano gold particle that reacts to light of a specific wavelength,
we then shine light to generate heat.
In this process, only the acne-causing bacteria and the sebaceous glands that produce sebum are selectively destroyed.
Therefore, fundamental treatment is possible.

As sebum secretion increases, acne becomes larger.
The more active and larger the sebaceous glands are, the larger the acne becomes.
It burrows from the hair follicles and sebaceous glands into the skin,
causing pain and inflammation.
It also leads to tissue damage such as pigmentation and scars.
Another problem is that it thickens the skin.
As it thickens, the pores also become blocked.
Because of this pore-clogging phenomenon,
waste products can accumulate throughout the skin,
and sebum is not properly secreted,
which leads to breakouts.
Whatever the issue may be, you need to understand the cause properly
in order to derive the right solution.
In the article below, I have carefully written down ways you can prevent it on your own,
even if you do not receive care at a dermatology clinic.
For those who are curious, I recommend checking what you should be careful about
before undergoing breakout treatment, which can involve a significant cost.
[Recurring breakouts? Prevent them like this]
If you came after reading the post above,
you probably understand the importance of sebaceous glands.
Gold PTT is a treatment that destroys these sebaceous glands,
which are the fundamental cause.
"Whenever I only received care,
my face would become red and the dryness was severe.."
If you have sensitive skin, the above symptoms
may sometimes appear.
Compared to that, Gold PTT can be said to cause relatively
less redness.
This is also why we recommend Gold PTT.
You may have heard that after a procedure,
you should not be exposed to ultraviolet rays.
Gold PTT does not use a photosensitizing substance
that reacts to ultraviolet rays.
So it has the advantage of having less impact on the skin
and allowing you to return to daily life right away.
What are the advantages of Gold PTT?
Gold PTT has various benefits that improve elasticity and
raise overall skin condition.
Among them, the three main advantages are as follows.
✅ Less pain
✅ Improved skin tone and texture
✅ Non-invasive and safe procedure
Because it is performed in a less irritating way like this,
it has the advantage of allowing a quick return to daily life
except for temporary redness.
However, as mentioned earlier,
we do not recommend the same procedure for everyone who is concerned about acne.
After identifying not only the cause and pattern,
but also each person’s breakout area and severity,
skin thickness, and other factors,
we proceed with the appropriate procedure.

There are many different causes of acne,
and even if a groundbreaking procedure is used,
it is true that dramatic changes can be difficult to expect.
That is why at Nakseongdae Station Dermatology,
we make diagnoses very carefully when you visit us
to proceed in a way that lowers side effects and still achieves results :)
With the sense of duty that we are responsible for the skin you will have for life,
we provide detailed, personalized diagnoses for just 'one person.'
For the sake of your skin as well,
please consult with a specialist doctor
and achieve clear skin.
Thank you.
