Yeongdeungpo Dermatology Clinic Acne Inflammatory Injection: How Long Does It Work? Summary of Drainage Treatment Criteria

Hello,

I’m Dr. Kim Jang-ju. 😊

Among those who visit the dermatology clinic in Yeongdeungpo,

there are many who are experiencing a great deal of stress

in their daily lives because of acne.

In particular, when inflammatory acne appears

with redness and pain,

we often hear questions like the following.

“Will it go down right away if I get an inflammation shot?”

It is true that there is great

interest in and expectation for acne inflammation shots.

However, acne is not simply a matter of one visible

trouble spot; it can be a repeated signal from the skin.

Therefore, before treatment,

it is important to carefully check the current skin condition,

and to consider the skin type and lifestyle habits

together as well.

At the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic,

acne is approached not as a simple symptom,

but as the result of an individual skin pattern.

Acne: Is an inflammation shot enough?

An inflammation shot is a treatment that helps quickly relieve swelling and pain.

In fact, in the case of early inflammatory acne,

a shot treatment alone often brings quick calming.

However, you should know that it is not a treatment that

addresses the root cause of acne.

Small areas of inflammation can often settle down

with a shot alone,

but large, deeply progressed inflammatory acne often

requires additional procedures such as drainage.

This is one of the most important factors considered

during the consultation process,

and it is also a treatment criterion that is

carefully checked at the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic. You must first understand the causes of acne

Acne is not simply a problem caused by

too much sebum.

It develops as the following three factors

work together.

ㅇ Increased sebum secretion

ㅇ Blocked pores

ㅇ Growth of skin resident bacteria

As these three factors act at the same time,

they progress into inflammatory acne.

Therefore, the key to treatment is not simply to reduce inflammation,

but to interrupt the mechanism of occurrence.

At the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic,

after checking each person’s skin condition,

sebum control treatment

extraction treatment

peeling care

antibiotic treatment

and other methods are combined

to design a customized treatment plan. When are inflammation shots needed?

An inflammation shot is a treatment that works quickly

for early inflammatory acne that is swollen and painful.

In particular, if it is performed before

the acne progresses to a pustular stage,

it may also help prevent scars.

However, depending on the depth and size of the inflammation,

a shot alone may not be enough,

so the specialist’s judgment is important. After an inflammation shot, care is also important After the procedure,

it is important to minimize skin irritation.

On the same day, excessive cleansing,

exercise, saunas, alcohol, and similar activities

are best avoided.

Also, using a recovery cream or soothing product

that helps calm the skin can be beneficial. Is it okay to repeat inflammation shots?

If inflammation shots are repeated too often,

caution is needed.

This is because the steroid component in the shot

can cause side effects such as skin atrophy or dents.

Therefore, the interval and number of procedures

should always be adjusted under the judgment

of medical professionals. It is more effective when combined with other treatments Acne treatment

is more likely to produce better results

when combined with

rather than relying on inflammation shots alone.

extraction treatment

peeling care

recovery treatment

At the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic,

appropriate treatment combinations are recommended

by considering the depth of the inflammation and the skin condition. Large inflammation is not enough to treat with a shot alone Inflammatory acne larger than a pinky nail

often does not settle down sufficiently

with an inflammation shot alone.

In such cases,

drainage treatment is needed.

If there is a large amount of pus and the shot is repeated,

a large amount of medication may be injected,

increasing the risk of side effects such as

skin dents or atrophy.

That is why, at the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic,

the size and depth of the inflammation are assessed first,

then the need for drainage is determined,

and the necessary procedure is performed.

What is drainage?

Drainage refers to a treatment that

expels pus to the outside.

When acne has progressed severely,

natural recovery is difficult if there is a large amount of pus.

In such cases, the pus must be removed through

surgical treatment in order to speed up recovery.

If the size is small,

it may be possible to wait for natural absorption,

but deep and large inflammation

requires incision and drainage.

This is called I&D

(incision and drainage).

By incising the skin and directly draining the pus,

it reduces the spread of infection

and helps tissue recovery more quickly.

If necessary,

antibiotic treatment is also carried out together. Inflammation shots are helpful for quick calming.

However, they are not a treatment that

solves the root cause of acne.

Depending on the size and depth of the inflammation,

drainage or combination treatment may be needed.

It is important to accurately diagnose the current skin condition

and proceed with customized treatment.

Acne is likely to recur if treated in the same way.

At the Yeongdeungpo dermatology clinic,

individualized treatment is provided by considering

skin type, depth of inflammation,

and recurrence patterns.

I hope this was helpful.
