How this treatment works
Why it works
Treats the gland, not only the surface
The protocol is aimed at sebaceous glands and inflammation rather than surface soothing alone. Whether that is the right approach for your acne is decided in person.
Planned by severity stage
The physician sets the combination, order and number of sessions for your severity stage rather than applying a fixed package.
Combination decided in consultation
PDT and Gold PTT may be used alone or together. This page does not claim that the combination outperforms either treatment on its own.
Further treatment details
Why acne happens
Acne starts inside the hair follicle. Oil from the sebaceous gland, dead skin cells and bacteria build up, the opening blocks, and inflammation follows.
In adults, hormones, stress, skin care, medication and climate all play a part. The mix is different for each person, so the plan starts with an examination rather than a fixed package.
How the physician grades it
Early bumps
Small, skin-coloured bumps you feel more than see. Usually little redness.
Comedones
Pores blocked with oil and dead skin, seen as whiteheads and blackheads.
Inflamed spots
Red papules and pustules where bacteria and inflammation have taken hold. Deep, painful lumps are a different stage and may need other treatment first. The physician will tell you if that applies.
What the program uses
PDT (photodynamic therapy)
A light-sensitising solution is applied to the skin and then activated with light. It is intended to act on the sebaceous glands and on inflamed acne. The skin is red afterwards and needs protection from strong light for a period the physician sets.
Gold PTT (gold photothermal therapy)
Gold nanoparticles are worked into the pores and then heated with a laser. The aim is to deliver heat to the sebaceous gland.
Used by need
Some patients get one, some get both. Extraction and a home-care routine are part of the same plan.
Acne often comes back
Acne is a long-running condition. Treatment controls it; it does not switch it off for good.
The program aims to calm active inflammation first, then reduce flare-ups with follow-up sessions and home care that suits your skin.
Recurrence can still happen, and responses vary by individual.
What patients usually aim for
Fewer active, inflamed spots.
Less oiliness through the day.
Fewer new marks left behind. Scars that are already there need their own treatment.
Results vary by individual.
Who it is for
- Adults with recurring inflamed acne on the face or body.
- Oily skin with enlarged pores and frequent breakouts.
- Acne that keeps returning after creams or courses of antibiotics.
- Anyone who wants acne under control before a wedding or event and has time for more than one session.
- Not the first step during pregnancy, after recent isotretinoin, or with light sensitivity. The physician will advise.
- If you have scars but no active acne, acne scar revision is the page to read instead.

Physician's FAQ
Does it hurt?
PDT can sting or feel hot while the light is on, and the skin stays warm and red for a while afterwards. Gold PTT feels like heat in short bursts. Tell the physician if you are sensitive; settings and breaks can be adjusted.
Can it help with acne scars?
Calming inflammation early can lower the chance of new marks. It does not treat scars that are already there. Those need separate scar treatment, which the physician can discuss at the same visit.
Who should not have it?
Tell the physician if you are pregnant, have taken isotretinoin recently, take medication that makes skin sensitive to light, or have cold sores in the area. Any of these can change or postpone the plan.

Treatment FAQ
Why does the program treat the sebaceous gland rather than only calming the skin?
Sebum production is one of several factors involved in acne, alongside follicular blockage, bacteria, inflammation and hormonal influences. The program uses treatments intended to act on the sebaceous glands and on inflammation rather than only soothing the surface. Whether that approach suits your skin is a physician assessment, and outcomes vary by individual.
What is the difference between PDT and Gold Photo Thermal Therapy?
PDT (photodynamic therapy) applies a photosensitising agent and light with the aim of acting on sebaceous glands and inflammatory acne. Gold Photo Thermal Therapy uses nano-gold particles and laser light with the aim of delivering heat to the sebaceous glands. The physician decides whether one, the other or both suit your skin. Neither is presented here as a way to stop acne returning or to avoid scarring, and responses vary by individual.
Why does acne come back even after dermatology or home care?
Acne is a recurring condition with several contributing factors, so treatment is usually about control rather than a one-time cure. The program combines PDT and Gold PTT with the aim of acting on sebaceous glands and inflammation, and the physician plans sessions and aftercare by severity stage. Recurrence can still happen, and outcomes vary by individual.
When can I go back to work or fly home?
Redness, dryness and peeling can follow, and acne sometimes flares before it settles. After PDT you also need to avoid strong light for a period the physician sets. Recovery varies by individual, so leave a buffer before flights and events and confirm it at consultation.
What should I send on WhatsApp before booking?
Photos of the affected areas in daylight without makeup, a list of the acne medication and skin care you use now, and your dates in Seoul. That lets us suggest a likely starting point. The physician sets the actual plan in person.
