Hormonal acne is a type of acne that develops due to hormonal fluctuations that increase sebum production and trigger inflammation in the skin. It commonly appears along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, and may present as deep, painful breakouts that recur regularly.



Hormonal acne often affects adults, especially during periods of stress, menstrual cycles, or hormonal changes, making it more persistent than typical acne.

At Gangnam OneCell Skin Clinic in Seoul, we provide advanced medical acne treatments designed to regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin balance.

1. Medical Acne Therapy for Sebum Control

Professional medical acne treatments help regulate overactive sebaceous glands, which are often responsible for hormonal acne breakouts.

These treatments focus on reducing excess oil production while calming skin inflammation.

Common Treatment Areas
• Jawline
• Chin
• Lower cheeks
• Neck

Benefits
• Controls excess sebum production
• Reduces inflammatory acne lesions
• Helps prevent recurring breakouts
• Improves overall skin clarity

2. Acne Laser Treatment for Inflammation Reduction

Advanced acne laser treatments help reduce acne-causing bacteria while calming inflamed skin.

Laser therapy also helps regulate sebaceous gland activity, which plays a key role in hormonal acne.

Advantages

• Reduces skin inflammation
• Targets acne-causing bacteria
• Helps regulate oil gland activity
• Improves overall skin condition

3. Chemical Peels for Pore Purification

Chemical peeling treatments remove dead skin cells and unclog blocked pores, helping reduce the formation of hormonal acne lesions.

Peels also promote skin renewal and improve overall skin texture.

Benefits

• Clears clogged pores
• Reduces blackheads and breakouts
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Promotes healthier skin turnover

4. LDM Therapy for Skin Recovery

LDM micro-ultrasound therapy helps calm skin inflammation, improve hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier.

This therapy is often used as supportive care to improve recovery after acne treatments.

Key Benefits

• Reduces skin inflammation
• Improves skin hydration and elasticity
• Supports skin regeneration
• Enhances overall skin health

5. Acne Scar Prevention and Skin Balance

Because hormonal acne often involves deep inflammatory lesions, early treatment is important to prevent acne scarring and long-term skin damage.

Customized treatment plans focus on both active acne control and skin recovery.

Possible Treatment Combinations

• Acne laser + medical acne therapy
• Chemical peel + laser treatment
• Laser therapy + LDM skin therapy

These combinations help control active breakouts while promoting skin healing.
