This is a procedure note for Gold PTT for Clearer Skin: What You Should Know Pre-Treatment at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
Gold PTT Treatment is Tailored to Individual Trouble Patterns
The effectiveness of Gold PTT may be enhanced
when selectively targeting areas with recurring skin concerns, rather than uniform application across the whole face.
Since skin concerns differ individually,
we first identify specific patterns during the treatment process.
- Regions with visibly enlarged pores
- Spots frequently experiencing sensitive responses
- Lines where inflammatory issues often recur
- Zones with a tendency for sebum buildup
Building upon these observed patterns,
we precisely adjust the concentration, treatment area, and intensity for individual zones.
This personalized approach forms the essence of Gold PTT treatment.
In essence, this is not a uniform treatment across the entire face,
but a method that focuses therapy on the necessary areas based on your specific skin characteristics.
Understanding Gold PTT

Gold PTT, or Gold Photothermal Therapy, is a procedure designed for various skin concerns.
It operates on the principle of **nanometer-sized gold particles (nano gold)** absorbing specific light wavelengths,
which then generates targeted thermal energy.
The resulting heat specifically targets the localized environment where acne bacteria thrive,
as well as hyperactive sebaceous glands.
This approach may contribute to reducing the structural factors behind persistent skin troubles.
Understanding the 3-Step Gold PTT Process

1) Nano Gold Particle Application
Once nano-sized gold particles are carefully applied to the skin,
they are observed to naturally penetrate the skin through its pores.
2) Laser Energy Delivery
A laser, specifically calibrated to interact solely with the gold particles, is then directed onto the treatment area.
Adequate laser energy delivery is important at this stage to ensure the nano gold particles respond effectively.
3) Thermal Activation: Addressing Sebaceous Glands and Acne Bacteria
The gold particles absorb the delivered light energy, converting it into thermal energy.
This energy then specifically influences the areas where sebaceous glands and acne bacteria are concentrated.
This targeted action ensures the treatment focuses on recurring problem areas,
while minimizing unnecessary irritation to the surrounding healthy skin.
Regarding Gold Particle Absorption into the Body

A frequent inquiry after Gold PTT treatment concerns
whether nano gold particles are retained within the body.
It is important to clarify that this is not the case.
Nano gold is not absorbed into human tissues.
Instead, it temporarily localizes around the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
Upon discharge, the substance exits the skin together with sebum.
A key characteristic is that it does not accumulate inside the body,
potentially offering a reduced burden regarding safety.
Expected Effects of Gold PTT

Gold PTT may be considered for the following skin concerns:
- Recurring inflammatory acne breakouts
- Excessive sebum production
- Visible or enlarged pores
- Post-breakout skin texture irregularities and imbalance
This approach may be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing recurrent breakouts stemming from excessive sebum.
A stabilizing effect on the skin may be observed.
