Customized Acne Solutions
At Songdo Dermatology, acne treatment begins with a thorough assessment of lesion type, inflammation, and skin sensitivity. Clinicians classify acne as comedonal, inflammatory, or nodulocystic to tailor therapies. This personalized approach guides the choice of topical agents, retinoids, antibiotic regimens, and when needed, hormonal or systemic options.
During the initial weeks, a structured plan combines topical care with preventive routines to reduce sebum production. Procedures such as chemical peels and microneedling may be added for patient-specific targets, including pore refinement and scar prevention. Progress is tracked with standardized photos and patient feedback to refine the plan.
Laser and Light Therapies
Korean clinics at Songdo Dermatology deploy laser and light-based therapies to address acne, scars, and texture irregularities. Fractional CO2 and Er:YAG lasers help with resurfacing and pore tightening, while Nd:YAG and diode lasers target redness and inflammation. Each option is chosen based on skin type, downtime tolerance, and treatment goals.
IPL and blue or red light therapies reduce P. acnes activity and support faster recovery between sessions. Patients often combine laser sessions with topical regimens to enhance outcomes and maintain skin health during the regeneration phase. Clinical protocols in Songdo emphasize safety, gradual intensity increases, and long-term results rather than short-term fixes.
Long-term Skin Health
Long-term skin health for acne-prone skin in Songdo involves preventing recurrence and supporting the barrier function. Sun protection, non-comedogenic products, and gentle cleansing reduce flare-ups and post-inflammatory changes. Nutrition and stress management are discussed as part of a holistic plan tailored to each patient.
Follow-up care focuses on maintenance regimens, periodic imaging, and adjusting treatments as skin evolves. Clinicians reinforce expectations about gradual improvement, scar prevention, and the importance of consistency. With careful monitoring, many patients achieve clearer skin and improved confidence over time.
