Two check points for the inflammation injection
🔴 Red and painful acne, How to quickly calm it with an inflammation injection
Hello. This is Senior Researcher Kim Hawon. When red and painful acne appears on the skin, you want to calm it down as quickly as possible. Especially when there are important events or
when the pain makes life uncomfortable, that desire becomes stronger.
That's why many people search for acne inflammation injections at dermatology clinics.
If you're reading this, you might be facing similar concerns.
💉Today, I'll easily summarize how inflammation injections work, ✔️and two important check points you need to know before the procedure. 💡 Effects of inflammation injections, Understanding the acne formation process
Acne is not just something that rises up on the surface of the skin like millet.
It is the process where sebum secretion, dead skin cells, and bacterial proliferation interlock,
resulting in inflammation forming inside the pores.
When sebum and dead skin cells block the pores, bacteria proliferate inside,
and as the immune response occurs, red and painful inflammation forms.
If this condition worsens, it develops into purulent acne with pus.
At this time, acne inflammation injections are an effective way to rapidly calm already formed inflammation.
A small amount of steroid component like triamcinolone is diluted and injected directly into the inflamed area,
reducing swelling and pain with strong anti-inflammatory action and preventing further increase in inflammation.
For quick responders, they may experience reduction in redness and swelling within one to two days,
and generally experience noticeable improvement within 2 to 3 days.
If inflammation calms down early, the risk of scarring also decreases.
That's why acne inflammation injections are often performed alongside other acne treatments.
✅ Inflammation injection check point ① It's not effective for all acne
While inflammation injections show quick results, they do not apply equally to all acne.
For comedonal acne (millet or blackheads) that has not yet become inflamed,
extraction or dead skin cell management should come first.
Conversely, for purulent acne that is swelling beyond the size of a fingernail and has pus, injections alone won't solve the issue.
In this case, drainage is necessary.
It is a treatment that opens the area where pus has accumulated to drain the bacterial byproducts,
and if left untreated, inflammation can worsen and scars can develop.
💊Therefore, it is safer to combine drainage with antibiotic treatment for large inflammations.
In other words, inflammation injections are effective for small localized inflammatory acne, but
larger acne filled with pus may require separate treatment, so please keep that in mind.
✅ Inflammation injection check point ② Proper dosage is important
The key to inflammation injections is the strong anti-inflammatory action of steroids.
However, since this component can also affect skin tissue,
it's very important to control the concentration and dosage.
If injected excessively, the injection site may become depressed (dimpled) or
the skin may thin and blood vessels may expand.
Especially the more often you inject the same area, the greater the risk of these side effects.
Therefore, acne inflammation injections should only be performed when absolutely necessary and with minimal dosage.
treatments that fundamentally prevent acne or completely stop recurrences.
Without addressing fundamental factors like lifestyle, hormones, and sebum secretion control,
the likelihood of inflammation recurring in the same area remains high.
Ultimately, rather than relying solely on short-term calming effects,
it's most desirable to utilize them as an adjunct treatment within a long-term skin improvement plan. 💬 Summary of today 1️⃣ Inflammation injections help alleviate purulent acne. 2️⃣ They are not effective for all types of acne. 3️⃣ Using the proper dosage is key, and overdoing it may cause side effects.
Additionally, by combining treatments like Gold PTT, peels, and skin boosters,
you can tailor acne treatment to your skin condition. This has been Kim Hawon's presentation. Recommended Beauty Column Outline & Volume
