Gangnam One Cell Skin Clinic

Cystic acne is one of the most severe forms of inflammatory acne, characterized by large, painful, deep breakouts that develop beneath the skin. These lesions occur when oil glands, bacteria, and inflammation penetrate deep into the skin, forming swollen cyst-like nodules.



Unlike mild acne, cystic acne often causes persistent inflammation, discomfort, and a higher risk of permanent acne scarring if not treated properly.

At Gangnam OneCell Skin Clinic in Seoul, we offer advanced medical acne treatments designed to reduce deep inflammation, control bacterial activity, and promote healthier skin recovery.

1. Medical Acne Therapy for Inflammation Control

Professional medical acne treatments target the root causes of cystic acne, including excess sebum production, bacterial growth, and skin inflammation.

These treatments help calm active cystic breakouts while preventing further skin damage.

Common Treatment Areas
• Cheeks
• Jawline
• Chin
• Forehead

Benefits
• Reduces deep inflammatory acne lesions
• Controls excess oil production
• Calms skin inflammation
• Helps prevent future cystic breakouts

2. Acne Laser Treatment for Bacterial Reduction

Advanced acne laser treatments help reduce acne-causing bacteria and regulate overactive sebaceous glands.

This treatment can significantly improve inflammatory acne and reduce the frequency of deep cystic breakouts.

Advantages

• Targets acne-causing bacteria
• Reduces skin inflammation
• Controls oil gland activity
• Supports healthier skin recovery

3. Intralesional Injection for Severe Cystic Acne

For large and painful cystic acne lesions, dermatologists may use intralesional injections to quickly reduce inflammation and swelling.

This treatment can help flatten deep cystic acne and accelerate healing.

Benefits

• Rapidly reduces inflammation and swelling
• Improves healing of deep acne cysts
• Helps prevent permanent acne scarring

4. LDM Therapy for Skin Healing

LDM micro-ultrasound therapy supports skin healing, reduces inflammation, and improves skin recovery after acne treatments.

This therapy helps strengthen the skin barrier and improve overall skin health.

Key Benefits

• Calms inflamed skin
• Improves skin hydration and elasticity
• Supports skin regeneration
• Enhances recovery after acne treatments

5. Acne Scar Prevention Treatments

Because cystic acne has a high risk of causing acne scars, early treatment is important to minimize long-term skin damage.

Treatments that stimulate collagen regeneration can help reduce the risk of post-acne scarring.

Possible Treatment Combinations

• Acne laser + medical acne therapy
• Laser treatment + LDM skin therapy
• Acne treatment + skin regeneration therapy

These combinations help control active cystic acne while supporting skin recovery.
