If you're looking into sebaceous gland destruction lasers but hesitating due to pain concerns, Gold PTT could be an alternative.

Gold PTT works by applying a medication containing gold particles to the skin, then using a Genesis laser to raise the skin temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius.

When this temperature is reached, the gold particles denature, selectively inhibiting only the sebaceous glands.

Because it's an indirect heating method through medication rather than direct stimulation of the skin with a laser, there is no pain or discomfort during the procedure, and you can return to daily life immediately afterward.

What Skin Concerns are Right for Gold PTT?

There are three main indications for Gold PTT.

First, those with recurring acne. Excessive sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands is one of the root causes of acne, and Gold PTT approaches this by inhibiting the sebaceous glands themselves.

Second, those with noticeably excessive sebum secretion. If your skin quickly becomes shiny after washing or your makeup breaks down, excessive sebum may be the cause.

Third, those with temporarily enlarged pores due to sebum secretion. If your pores appear dilated due to being filled with sebum rather than an inherent large pore size, inhibiting the sebaceous glands can help them appear smaller.

What is the Treatment Process and Session Frequency?

Gold PTT proceeds in the following order: applying the gold particle medication to the skin, allowing it to absorb sufficiently, and then using a Genesis laser to raise the temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius.

During this process, the gold particles selectively act on the sebaceous glands, producing an inhibitory effect.

We recommend a minimum of 5 sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart.

Rather than expecting immediate changes from a single session, the goal is to improve sebum control through consistent cumulative treatments. We proceed by observing changes in skin condition after the first few sessions.

How Does it Differ from Other Sebaceous Gland Destruction Lasers?

Among sebaceous gland destruction laser treatments, there are methods that destroy sebaceous glands through direct stimulation, such as Agnes (high-frequency insulated needle).

Agnes offers a strong sebaceous gland destruction effect, but because it involves inserting needles into the skin, a certain recovery period with redness or scabs follows the treatment.

In contrast, Gold PTT, which uses medication application and laser irradiation, has almost no pain or downtime. It's a practical choice for those who need to continue their work or daily life without visible treatment marks.

This is why individuals who find strong stimulation burdensome or have limited time for skin recovery often consider Gold PTT first.

What Makes Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Gold PTT Different?

With Gold PTT, the 'how it's operated' determines the effectiveness more than the treatment principle itself.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we place great importance on this.

For PTT treatment to be effective, the skin temperature must rise above a certain level. If the temperature doesn't increase sufficiently, the medication won't denature, and the sebaceous gland inhibitory effect won't properly occur.

That's why the number of shots is crucial.

Instead of excessively increasing the intensity and burdening the skin, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's standard is to meticulously perform over 2,000 shots at an intensity of 5-6J. A sufficient number of shots ensures the skin temperature stably maintains above 40 degrees Celsius, creating the conditions for the gold particles to act effectively.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic transparently discloses the number of shots performed. Patients should be able to confirm how many shots were administered today to determine if a truly sufficient treatment has been performed.

Even with the same Gold PTT, there's a difference in results between places where you can't check the shot count and places where you can. If changes are slow despite repeated treatments, you should first ask if the shot count standard is being adhered to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I looked into sebaceous gland destruction lasers; is Gold PTT the same type?

A. Sebaceous gland destruction laser is a general term for treatments that inhibit or destroy sebaceous glands. Gold PTT is also a treatment aimed at selective sebaceous gland inhibition, combining gold particle medication with a Genesis laser. Since it's performed without needle insertion, the burden of pain and downtime is minimal.

Q. How many Gold PTT sessions are recommended among sebaceous gland destruction laser treatments?

A. We recommend a minimum of 5 sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart. The sebaceous gland inhibitory effect accumulates through cumulative treatments, so we proceed by observing skin changes after the initial 2-3 sessions. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we check the progress based on the number of shots each session.

Q. Is daily life possible after sebaceous gland destruction laser treatment?

A. With Gold PTT, daily life is possible immediately after the procedure without any separate recovery period. It proceeds without reactions like pain, redness, or scabs, and there are few special precautions. It's a treatment that can be comfortably received by office workers or those with busy schedules.

Q. Which sebaceous gland destruction laser, Gold PTT or Agnes, should I choose?

A. If your goal is sebum control but you want to manage it without pain or downtime, Gold PTT is suitable. If you desire a stronger sebaceous gland destruction effect and can afford a certain recovery period, Agnes might be more appropriate. Since the choice varies depending on your skin condition and lifestyle, it's best to decide through consultation.

The Sincerity of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to the principle of meticulously performing over 2,000 shots at an intensity of 5-6J rather than excessively increasing it, maintaining the standard that sufficient stimulation is required for sebaceous gland inhibitory effects to occur.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic transparently discloses the number of shots performed so that patients can verify it directly. Without knowing the shot count, there's no way to determine if the treatment was sufficient.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic strictly adheres to the standard of reaching a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius during treatment. This standard is not compromised because if the temperature does not rise sufficiently, the gold particles will not denature, and the effect will not occur.
