When can I start to see the effects of Gold PTT?

With Gold PTT, changes tend to appear gradually as the sebaceous glands stabilize, rather than immediately after the procedure. Many people report noticing reduced sebum and fewer acne breakouts after about 2 to 3 sessions. Improvement accumulates with each session, and the time at which you feel the effects may vary by individual.

Does Gold PTT hurt a lot? Is anesthesia used?

You may feel a prickling sensation and warmth as the Gold PTT laser passes over the skin, and the degree of sensation varies by individual. If you are sensitive to pain or have areas with significant inflammation, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand, so please mention this during your consultation. The intensity can also be adjusted during the procedure.

Can I wash my face and apply makeup right after Gold PTT?

Immediately after Gold PTT, some redness and warmth may remain temporarily, so it is recommended to wait about an hour or two before gently washing your face and applying makeup. By the next day, most people can resume their normal daily activities. Please apply sunscreen thoroughly starting on the day of the procedure.

How long do the effects of Gold PTT last?

Once the sebaceous glands are stabilized by the heat from Gold PTT, the feeling of oil control is known to last for a relatively long time. However, sebum production may increase again due to hormonal changes, lifestyle habits, or seasons, so the duration of results varies by individual. We recommend adding maintenance treatments based on your skin condition.

How many sessions of Gold PTT do I need?

Gold PTT is typically planned as a course of 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks, with effects accumulating as the number of sessions increases. The number of sessions needed may vary depending on the severity of acne and sebum production, so we recommend adjusting the plan through consultation while monitoring your progress.

Are there any side effects or cases where Gold PTT is not recommended?

After Gold PTT, temporary redness, folliculitis, and fine flaking may occur, but these usually subside within a few days. If you are pregnant, have severe inflammation in the treatment area, or have taken isotretinoin within the last 6 months, a consultation is needed first.

What is Gold PTT?

Gold PTT is a photothermal therapy (PTT) procedure that delivers gold nanoparticles around the sebaceous glands and then heats them with a laser. It selectively applies thermal stimulation to overactive sebaceous glands to manage recurring acne and enlarged pores.

01 Breakouts
02 Sebum
03 Pores

Mechanism

How Gold PTT Works

Gold PTT begins with ultrasound pushing gold nanoparticles deep into the pores around the sebaceous glands. Then, when a laser is applied, only the gold particles selectively generate heat, delivering stimulation to overactive sebaceous glands. This approach targets the source of sebum production while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. As sebum levels decrease, you can expect both recurring inflammatory acne and stretched pores to improve together.
