Recurring acne on the face is a problem caused by the complex interplay of sebum, dead skin cells in the pores, and inflammatory reactions. Since missing the opportune time for treatment can lead to red marks, hyperpigmentation, or pitted scars, it is said to be important to receive care tailored to your skin condition in the early stages.

Today, for those of you considering acne treatment at a dermatology clinic in Magok, I will summarize the causes of acne, dermatological treatment methods, and home care management tips.

1. Causes of acne

1) Excessive sebum secretion

One of the primary causes of acne is increased sebum production. While sebum plays a protective role for the skin, excessive secretion can cause it to accumulate inside the pores, creating an environment where acne is prone to forming.

 

2) Dead skin cell problem in pores

It is said that if old dead skin cells do not shed properly and accumulate inside the pores, sebum cannot be expelled, which can lead to the formation of milia.

 

3) Lifestyle habits and external stimuli

Acne can also be affected by lifestyle habits. Lack of sleep, stress, frequent drinking, and the habit of touching your face with your hands are said to be factors that worsen acne.

2. When acne treatment is needed at Magok Dermatology

While acne sometimes subsides naturally over time, recurring or severe inflammation can leave marks and scars. Therefore, receiving appropriate treatment in the early stages is said to be helpful.

The cases in which you might consider acne treatment at Magok Dermatology are as follows.

 

- Cases where milia repeatedly break out

- When red and painful inflammatory acne persists

- When acne does not easily subside even with home care

- Recurring adult acne on the chin, around the mouth, and on the cheeks

- If you are worried about acne redness or hyperpigmentation

4. Acne Home Care Methods

It is said that lifestyle management is just as important as treatment when it comes to acne. Let me share a few home care tips for acne.

 

1) Gently wash your face

If you wash your face excessively just because you have acne-prone skin, your skin barrier can be irritated. Therefore, it is recommended to wash gently about twice a day using a low-irritation cleanser.

2) Do not touch acne with your hands

It is said that it is important to avoid touching or squeezing acne as much as possible, as this habit can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of scarring.

 

3) Avoid heavy makeup

It is said that if you have acne-prone skin, it is best to avoid heavy makeup, as it can clog pores and cause skin irritation during the cleansing process.

5. Q&A

1) Can I extract acne at home?

It is advisable not to squeeze forcefully at home, as self-extraction can lead to inflammation, pigmentation, or scarring.

 

2) What kind of treatment is recommended when acne scars form?

For acne scars, you can consider PicoFraxel. PicoFraxel is a procedure that regenerates the skin by rupturing tissues within the dermis and creating air pockets. It helps improve acne scars and enlarged pores.

It is said that even with the same type of acne, the direction of treatment can vary depending on whether it is comedonal acne, pustular acne, adult acne, or concerns about acne marks and scars.

If you are considering acne treatment at a dermatology clinic in Magok, I recommend checking your current skin condition first. Instead of aggressive self-extraction or excessive home care, I suggest creating a treatment plan tailored to your individual skin type!
