[Health Week] The Causes of Acne Red Marks and a Surefire Solution
"Acne marks" are the collective term for the red marks left on the skin after acne. Some of these marks are not as deep as acne scars, but rather simply pigmentation. Why do these marks form?

Acne causes the skin to secrete substances called cytokines. These cytokines are proteins secreted by immune cells during the inflammatory response and recovery process. They contain vascular endothelial growth factor, which promotes the creation of more blood vessels. Furthermore, certain cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α-) also increase melanin synthesis.

Thus, when acne becomes chronic, dilated blood vessels increase, causing redness. At the same time, melanin accumulates abnormally in specific areas, leading to hyperpigmentation. These marks, which eventually turn brown and remain on the skin for months or even years if left untreated, can persist.

Fortunately, effective treatments are available. In the past, medications that constrict blood vessels were primarily used, but these only provided temporary improvements and were not a fundamental solution. Lasers, rather than medications, are more effective in treating acne scars.

A closer look at the scar reveals excessively grown or dilated capillaries. Using a laser with a wavelength absorbed by capillaries to selectively constrict these vessels, the redness is quickly resolved. The procedure is minimally painful, making it easily accessible.

The Skin Booster treatment, which combines exosomes with skin whitening properties, accelerates the healing process. Exosomes contain signaling molecules that can influence melanin activity, interacting with melanocytes and regulating melanin synthesis. This makes them highly effective in treating skin pigmentation disorders.

Chamjin, with 20 years of experience specializing in treating intractable acne and acne scars, has a wealth of patient cases. We've been consistently researching how to eliminate acne and acne scars more quickly and safely. Our research has confirmed that the most effective treatment for acne scars is a combination of long-pulse laser treatment and caviar therapy skin booster treatment.
