What is Acne Treatment?

Acne treatment refers to the various methods and medications used to clear acne, stop new breakouts, and prevent acne scars. Acne occurs when your pores get clogged with oil, dirt, and bacteria, which leads to red and inflamed skin. Acne treatments work to clear existing breakouts, reduce excess oil, calm redness, and make your skin smoother and clearer. There are various options, including creams, oral medications, laser treatments, and special skincare procedures. At Reberry Clinic, we use a gentle laser called Excel V along with ethosome technology to remove acne and control oil. This treatment is safe, does not require surgery, and helps your skin look clearer and healthier.

Advanced Ethosome and Excel V Technology

At Reberry Dermatology Clinic, we use ethosome technology combined with the Excel V laser in Genesis mode to treat acne effectively. Ethosome technology serves as an advanced drug delivery system that enhances the penetration of medications deep into the skin, specifically targeting the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum production and prevent clogged pores.

Once the medications are delivered via ethosomes, the Excel V laser in Genesis mode is applied to treat further acne-related inflammation, redness and to improve skin texture. The Excel V laser uses dual wavelengths and built-in cooling to safely and precisely reduce active acne symptoms, minimize scars, and even out pigmentation. This combination of cutting-edge drug delivery and laser technology provides a comprehensive, targeted approach to managing acne, preventing recurrence, and promoting clearer, healthier skin.

Types of Acne

Inflammatory Acne

Inflammatory acne is a type of acne breakout that results in red, swollen, and often painful bumps, caused by clogged pores that become infected by bacteria. This type of acne occurs when hair follicles are clogged with sebum(oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples, pustules, or cysts. These clogged pores can rupture beneath the skin, spilling their contents and triggering an immune response that causes redness, swelling, and tenderness.

Non-Inflammatory Acne

Non-inflammatory acne is a type of acne characterized by the presence of blackheads and whiteheads, which are clogged pores without significant redness or swelling. It occurs when hair follicles become blocked by excess sebum (oil) and dead skin cells, but without bacterial infection or inflammation. Blackheads are open comedones where the pore remains open, causing oxidation and darkening of the oil, while whiteheads are closed comedones with a trapped sebum plug beneath the skin’s surface.

How it works

How Acne Treatment Works?

Inflammation Treatment

The initial focus in acne treatment is to reduce the active inflammation and soothe the skin. This is achieved through medications and therapeutic methods that calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and mitigate the swelling associated with acne lesions. By addressing inflammation promptly, the treatment helps to prevent worsening of acne and promotes faster healing.

Sebaceous Glands Shrink

The ethosome technology, an advanced drug delivery system, is used to enhance the effectiveness of acne treatment by improving drug penetration into the skin. This technology facilitates the targeted delivery of therapeutic compounds directly to the sebaceous gland, where sebum is produced. By targeting these glands, it reduces sebum production, promotes exfoliation and prevents clogged pores, which is a primary cause of acne formation. This also helps reduce excess sebum production, shrink pores, and balance oily skin, making it highly effective for acne-prone individuals.

Scar and Pigmentation Treatment

After controlling the active acne, the Advanced Excel V laser technology with built-in cooling technology is used to treat scars and pigmentation left after acne. The Excel V laser precisely targets abnormal blood vessels and pigmented cells in the skin, promoting skin resurfacing, collagen production, and even skin tone restoration. This laser effectively minimizes the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation while ensuring patient comfort and protection of surrounding healthy skin.

Our process

Treatment Timeline & Expectations

01. Initial Consultation

Your acne treatment journey starts with a 60-minute consultation with our Korean skincare specialists. During this appointment, you’ll receive detailed information about the treatment plan, including how medication and Excel V laser work together to target acne inflammation, sebum production, and scarring. Before starting, you may be advised to avoid sun exposure, certain skincare products, and medications that could affect the skin’s sensitivity.

02. Treatment Sessions

Acne treatment typically involves multiple sessions spaced approximately two weeks apart, with each session lasting around 1.5 hours, depending on the treatment area. For active acne and inflammation, medications combined with ethosome technology are used to deliver therapeutic agents deep into the sebaceous glands to reduce oil production. The Excel V laser is then applied to target acne-related redness, blood vessels, scars, and pigmentation associated with acne. During the procedure, you may experience mild warmth or tingling sensations, with discomfort levels around 5 to 6 out of 10 on the pain scale. Most patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

03. Progressive Results

Mild redness and swelling may appear after treatment, but usually fade within a week. Over several sessions, you’ll notice clearer skin, reduced breakouts, smaller pores, and smoother texture as sebum production decreases and skin texture improves as dead skin cells are exfoliated more effectively. Results become increasingly visible with each subsequent session, promoting a clearer and healthier complexion.

04. Maintenance

To keep your skin healthy and acne-free, occasional follow-up sessions may be recommended depending on your skin type and goals. These follow-up sessions can help keep inflammation controlled, prevent new breakouts, and sustain improvements in skin texture and tone, ensuring long-term confidence in your complexion.

Post-Procedure Precautions

01. Avoid touching, picking, or squeezing the treated area to prevent irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
02. Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser for at least 5–7 days post-treatment. Avoid scrubs, cleansing brushes, or any abrasive tools.
03. Use a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin barrier hydrated and promote healing
04. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors. Sun protection is crucial to prevent pigmentation and protect healing skin.
05. Avoid hot environments such as saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, or long hot showers for 48 hours, as excessive heat can irritate treated skin.
06. Refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy sweating for 24–48 hours to reduce the risk of inflammation or bacterial irritation.
07. Do not undergo other facial treatments (e.g., peels, microneedling, or waxing) for at least 1 week unless otherwise advised by your provider.
