Acne Won’t Go Away: Identify the Root Cause and Treat It

Some people may be worried that their acne won’t go away even after repeated treatment or care. Acne can occur for various reasons, such as the growth of acne-causing bacteria, hormonal changes, and inflammatory reactions. Because the treatment approach differs depending on the type and cause of acne, it may be more important to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Comedonal acne, the early stage of acne, is a stage in which pores are blocked by sebum and dead skin cells, leading to acne. Blackheads, whiteheads, and small pimples may fall into this category. If comedonal acne occurs, scaling and Aqua Peel may help improve acne.

Aqua Peel is a treatment that uses AHA and BHA ingredients to remove Demodex mites and waste materials inside the pores, eliminating factors that cause various skin troubles while also cleaning the pores and exfoliating dead skin cells. Aqua Peel not only removes waste materials, but also finishes by replenishing nutrients and moisture after removing Demodex mites and sebum.

Scaling is a treatment method that opens the pores with peeling ingredients to help waste materials inside the hair follicles be expelled more easily and dissolve comedones. It is used not only for comedonal acne but also in the treatment of inflammatory acne.

If comedonal acne has worsened into inflammatory acne, acne can be treated through Gold PTT and Apple Laser procedures.

Gold PTT is a treatment that uses gold microneedles to accumulate tiny gold microparticles in the skin’s sebaceous glands, then destroys the sebaceous glands and acne-causing bacteria with a laser. Because it is a treatment that applies a substance that reacts only to light of a specific wavelength to the sebaceous glands, it can target and treat only the sebaceous glands and acne-causing bacteria. It may be helpful for people whose acne keeps recurring, whose pores are enlarged and widened, or whose skin is sensitive and delicate.

Apple Laser is a treatment that uses a wavelength with better absorption of moisture and oil to deliver heat energy directly to the skin, control sebum, and induce the production of collagen and elastin. Because Apple Laser can treat with various wavelengths, it can also help treat facial redness, and by inducing collagen production, it may help improve skin elasticity. Apple Laser is a treatment that can be used not only for acne concerns but also for people worried about enlarged pores, black sebum inside the pores, or redness that does not go away.

There are acne treatments such as Aqua Peel, scaling, Gold PTT, and Apple Laser, but since each person’s skin condition is different, it may be better to receive a treatment suited to the individual through sufficient consultation.
