Yangcheon-gu acne treatment,

Don’t just squeeze it

Yangcheon-gu acne treatment

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyeon, the chief director of UI Dermatology Mokdong Branch.

“Because it keeps coming back, I’m most worried that it might leave scars.”

Have you ever sighed because of pimples that suddenly appear every time you look in the mirror?

A small breakout may calm down after a few days, but when it becomes red, pus-filled, or painful, it is hard not to keep worrying about it.

Because it stands out, it is easy to keep touching it, and many people cannot resist squeezing it themselves, only to make it worse or leave dark marks. I often meet patients in the clinic who feel upset about that.

In particular, acne requires careful attention because if it is not properly managed early on, inflammation can spread deeper into the skin or lead to scars.

Today, for those looking into Yangcheon-gu acne treatment, I’d like to talk about why breakouts keep recurring and how they should be managed.

If you are tired from repeated skin concerns, I hope this will be helpful to read.

Why does it keep recurring?

Acne is basically one of the chronic conditions in which inflammation occurs in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.

It mainly appears on areas with many sebaceous glands, such as the face, back, and chest.

Rather than being just a single red pimple, it often appears in a combination of forms, from comedonal lesions such as whiteheads and blackheads to pustular lesions filled with pus.

In adults, the causes are quite diverse, including lack of sleep, oily eating habits, use of unsuitable cosmetics, or hormonal influences.

The important point is that squeezing out the pus you can see on the surface does not mean it is over.

This is because if the sebaceous glands, the “factory” that produces oil inside the skin, are overactive, breakouts can recur at any time.

That is why it is important not only to manage the surface, but also to improve the environment inside the skin.

How can we control the sebaceous glands, the root cause?

To improve the environment inside the skin, it is good to control the sebaceous glands as well.

NeoBeam, a device widely used in acne treatment, uses a 1,450 nm wavelength laser to deliver energy to the sebaceous glands located in the dermis.

This wavelength has a relatively high absorption rate for water and oil.

Because sebaceous glands themselves contain a lot of oil and water, the laser energy acts selectively on the sebaceous glands and helps regulate excessive secretion.

Also, during the procedure, the DCD cooling system operates to momentarily protect the epidermis by cooling it.

Thanks to this, it is possible to deliver energy only to the targeted sebaceous glands while reducing skin irritation caused by heat energy.

Another advantage is that, depending on the individual’s condition, the procedure can be adjusted using “toning mode,” which reduces sebum secretion across the entire face, and “acne mode,” which focuses on managing areas with severe inflammation.

How should we care for the skin after treatment?

After controlling the sebaceous glands with a laser, aftercare is also very important.

Because heat energy has been delivered into the skin, you may temporarily feel dryness.

Therefore, after the procedure, it is best to apply enough low-irritation moisturizer and regenerative cream to keep the skin barrier hydrated.

Also, when going বাইরে, be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly.

This is because if irritated skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, pigmentation may remain.

It is recommended that you avoid cosmetics or scrubs that contain a lot of alcohol for the time being.

Above all, while lasers can reduce sebum secretion, breakouts may return if an irregular lifestyle continues.

To maintain positive changes over time, you need to get enough sleep and maintain healthy eating habits as well.

Today, for those who searched for information on Yangcheon-gu acne treatment, I have summarized the points you should know.

It is true that devices such as NeoBeam can help control excessive sebum and reduce recurrence, but you should remember that everyone’s skin thickness and the degree of inflammation are different.

Because skin condition and lesion depth can vary, rather than handling it recklessly, please go through a careful diagnosis process and decide on the method that suits your own skin.

This was Kim Jin-hyeon, chief director of UI Dermatology Mokdong Branch.

Thank you.
