Acne Treatment: Start by Assessing Skin Condition
Comedonal Acne
This is a condition where pores are clogged and comedones form without inflammation, and if left untreated it can progress to an inflammatory type. It is categorized into closed comedones and open comedones.
Papulopustular Acne
Commonly referred to as a pimple, it is an advanced stage of acne that is inflamed. It is red in color and contains pus, but does not extrude easily.
Pustular Acne
It’s an inflammatory reaction in the skin, filled with pus and fluid, and prone to scars and marks from nails or incorrect extrusion.
Nodular Acne
This is an aggravated stage of purulent acne, which is large and painful. They are hard, deeply embedded in the skin, difficult to extrude, and require a long treatment period.
Who Needs Acne Treatment
If this is the case, you should start with acne treatment first.
The treatment you see first may depend on whether you’re dealing with an ongoing breakout or inflammation, or if you’re dealing with marks and pitting.
When recurring issues persist
If you’re experiencing a pattern of breakouts that improve and then return, it may be important to focus on a recurrence management plan that considers both your current skin condition and lifestyle.
When You Have Red, Sore, Inflamed Acne
Inflammatory acne that is painful or tempting to pick at can lead to marks and scarring, so it’s important to address the current inflammation before treating scars.
When marks are repeatedly left after extrusion
When acne keeps cycling from comedonal to pustular stages, the skin tends to become more sensitive and marks can accumulate, so a structured treatment plan—rather than simple home care—may be needed.
When Acne and Scarring Go Together
If you already have breakouts and marks, but are still currently inflamed, it’s usually safe to treat the active acne first and then move into scar treatment during the recovery phase.
Treatment Flow
HyungInJae’s acne treatment starts with addressing your current skin condition first
We don’t just look at the type—we also consider the current level of inflammation, the pattern of recurrence, and the potential for marks and scarring that may remain, and then plan the order of treatment accordingly.
01
Check your current inflammation status
We’ll start by looking at whether it’s comedonal, inflammatory, or deeply nodular and organize the issues that need to be addressed first.
02
Managing flare-ups and triggers
Recurring breakouts are often a combination of lifestyle, skin irritation, and extrusion habits, so we look at the recurrence flow itself.
03
Branching into recovery phases
Once your current acne has cleared up, you can look at any remaining marks, scarring, and skin texture, which can lead naturally to future recovery care or related procedures.
Why we treat acne before scar treatment
If your skin is still inflamed, it is often better to first calm and stabilize the skin with acne treatment before moving on to scar management.
Starting scar treatment too early may not be effective while active inflammation is still present. Continue reading below to learn HyungInJae’s approach to acne treatment.
