Are you someone who gets a lot of acne? These days, every time I look in the mirror, I see a pimple or two, and I'm wondering how to manage it. If you get a lot of acne, it could be a sign of excessive sebum production.

They say that excessive sebum production can worsen acne. I've suffered from acne-prone skin myself. Today, I'll share with you how to manage acne and other problems caused by excessive sebum production, along with related dermatological treatments!

 

 

1. Causes of excessive sebum secretion

Let's start with the causes of excessive sebum secretion. During the summer, when temperatures and humidity are high, sebum temperature also rises. This can lead to increased sebum secretion.

In other words, when the temperature rises, metabolism becomes active and there is a possibility that more sebum will be secreted than usual.

2. The relationship between excessive sebum secretion and acne

Excessive sebum production can also worsen acne. Excessive sebum production clogs pores, causing inflammation and ultimately leading to acne. Excessive sebum production can also clog pores, leading to blackheads and whiteheads, which are known to occur most frequently on the forehead, nose, and chin.

3. How to manage excessive sebum secretion (sebum control habits)

As I mentioned earlier, sebum clogs pores and causes acne and other skin problems, so it is important to practice regular sebum control.

 

1) Improve eating habits

It is recommended to avoid high-fat or high-sugar foods as they can further stimulate sebaceous gland activity, and it is also recommended to avoid foods such as sweets and fried foods.

 

2) Regular life

Additionally, if you lack sleep or have an irregular lifestyle, stress hormones can be secreted excessively, stimulating the sebaceous glands. Therefore, maintaining adequate sleep and a healthy lifestyle can help control sebum production.

 

3) Proper washing and moisturizing

Additionally, it is recommended to gently wash your face twice a day using a mild cleanser, and after washing your face, apply a moisturizer to provide moisture to your skin.

4. Sebum management dermatological treatment

If sebum control is difficult with lifestyle changes alone, dermatological procedures may be an option. It's best to seek appropriate consultation and receive treatment tailored to your skin condition.

 

1) Capri Laser

Capri Laser is a treatment that helps reduce sebum secretion and the volume of sebum glands, which are the root causes of acne, and is said to be a treatment method that causes less skin irritation.

2) Peeling

Peeling treatments such as Aqua Peel and Aladdin Peel are also said to be helpful in removing sebum and waste products.

 

3) PDT

PDT treatment involves applying a substance that is absorbed by sebaceous glands and bacteria, allowing it to be absorbed into the skin. Then, light is applied to destroy sebaceous glands and acne bacteria. This can help regulate sebum secretion.

 

4) IPL

Using IPL acne treatment mode is said to help improve acne redness and red marks along with alleviating sebum production.
