Acne experienced during adolescence is a common skin problem that many students face due to hormonal changes.

Red, small acne lesions tend to appear repeatedly, mainly on the nose, forehead, and cheeks.

During adolescence, increased androgen hormone activity can lead to enlarged sebaceous glands and a noticeable increase in sebum production.

When excessively secreted sebum clogs pores, acne bacteria proliferate within them, triggering an inflammatory response.

Shallow inflammation in its early stages can sometimes leave redness and then subside, but the situation changes when inflammation deepens to the dermis.

If collagen structures do not form properly during the healing of damaged skin tissue, there is a possibility of developing pitted scars or uneven skin texture.

This is precisely why adolescent acne should not be neglected.

Once formed, scars may require more time and effort to improve than to manage acne inflammation.

Areas with high sebaceous gland distribution, such as the cheeks or jawline, have a higher chance of deep inflammation, making them particularly susceptible to scar formation.

Touching or squeezing inflamed areas with your hands, or neglecting them for prolonged periods, can also cause scar formation.

During periods of active sebum production, improper cleansing methods or the use of irritating cosmetics can further worsen inflammation.

Adolescent skin has the advantage of faster recovery compared to adults, but over-relying on this and continuously neglecting inflammation can make management difficult once scars have formed.

It is important to manage adolescent acne from its early stages, when red inflammation begins, by controlling sebum secretion and alleviating inflammation.

The skin of growing adolescents can be sensitive, so suitability for treatment must be carefully determined after a thorough examination of the skin condition by a medical professional.

Acne that occurs during adolescence, when skin recovery ability is relatively good, requires appropriate early intervention as the key to management.

For acne-prone skin where inflammation has long been present and settled into scars, treatments that deliver stimulation deep into the dermis can be beneficial.

Potenza utilizes the principle where micro-needles reach the dermal layer of the skin, creating channels, and then directly deliver radiofrequency energy from the needle tips.

Unlike methods that ablate the surface, it focuses on the dermis to help activate collagen and elastin.

It can also deliver energy to overactive sebaceous glands to help balance sebum production.

When sebum secretion decreases, the incidence of clogged pores may tend to reduce.

Such treatments can aim to improve various skin concerns like acne scars, pitted marks, and enlarged pores, and are performed by adjusting the treatment area and energy to suit individual skin characteristics.

Typically, 3 to 5 cumulative sessions can be considered, with intervals of about 4 to 6 weeks.

Immediately after the procedure, the skin may temporarily appear red or show tiny bleeding spots. This generally subsides within 1 to 2 days, but in some cases, depending on individual skin condition, it can last up to a week.

For 1 to 2 days after the procedure, it is advisable to avoid activities that generate heat in the body, such as saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption. Along with this, sufficient moisturizing and sun protection are important.

Makeup is possible from the day after the procedure, but it is beneficial to apply it lightly for a few days to protect the skin.

Early management before scars develop is very important.

Rather than attempting improvement after scars have already formed, managing inflammation in the pre-scarring stage can reduce the burden of recovery and lead to more positive results.
