For acne scars, proper management is important.
Acne usually occurs during puberty.
Acne that occurs in teenagers is often thought to be caused by hormones.
In fact, the exact cause is not clearly known.
However, it is known to occur due to a combination of various causes.
Our skin has sebaceous glands, which are widely distributed in the face, back, and chest areas where acne commonly occurs.
Sebaceous glands are connected to tubes that contain hair, called follicles, and they produce and secrete an oily substance called sebum.
Under normal conditions, this sebum is discharged out of the skin through the open part of the hair follicle.
Excessive sebum secretion stimulates the inner wall of the hair follicle, causing the inner wall cells to shed more quickly,
These shed cells clump together and block the pores of the hair follicles.
This becomes a comedone (a hardened lump of sebum that accumulates in the hair follicle), which is the basic lesion of acne.
Additionally, the immunological response to acne-causing bacteria residing in hair follicles contributes to the inflammatory response of acne, resulting in the development of acne.
It is said that there is a family history of acne, but the exact genetic pattern is unclear.
Acne can cause discomfort just by occurring, and depending on the frequency and area of occurrence, it can cause extreme stress.
For example, acne that appears on various parts of the face not only looks unsightly, but can also get worse due to ultraviolet rays or harmful substances.
However, if you squeeze it with your hands recklessly, it can make the condition worse.
Since there are many different types of bacteria on your hands, bacterial infection in the area where you squeeze acne with your hands can cause acne scars or dermatitis.
If the root of the acne is not pulled out, secondary acne may form.
Especially, acne scars should be approached with caution.
This is because the treatment method for removing acne scars is more difficult and complicated than treating acne itself.
If you have genetically inherited keloid skin, acne scars may remain deeper and more unsightly.
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kang Minji (dermatologist) said, “Before dealing with acne scars, you must first understand the concept of scars.
Scars are fibrous tissue formed at the site of a wound,
If you take acne lightly and squeeze it with your hands, it can leave irreversible acne scars.
If your skin has a keloid constitution, you should especially refrain from squeezing acne.
“In severe cases, the area may become a deep, sunken scar, or the scar tissue may protrude in a tangled state,” Dr. Kang cautioned.
Director Kang continued, “If you are worried about acne scars, you must receive appropriate treatment and acne scar management.
“Unlike in the past, there are many ways to treat acne scars due to the development of medical technology,” Dr. Kang said.
“The treatment method for acne scars is to regenerate the skin with an E2 high-frequency laser and induce collagen production and natural healing with Auto MTS.
Salmon injections can improve acne scars by regenerating damaged tissue cells.
In addition, CO2 Fraxel regenerates collagen in the dermis to improve new skin and heals wounds with subcision.
Dot peeling can restore scars by increasing collagen and elastin synthesis.
“In this way, acne scars can be treated and managed through a combination of laser treatment and other procedural treatments,” Dr. Kang explained.
