About the procedure
When breakouts keep returning despite regular care
Recurring acne is often linked to enlarged sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum and to acne bacteria, so calming visible breakouts alone may not stop them from returning. Ethosome Gold PTT is designed so that a special ethosome nano-carrier delivers concentrated nano gold deep into the pores and sebaceous glands, where dedicated laser heat then acts selectively on the glands.
Instead of directly irritating the skin surface, the procedure focuses on causes beneath it, so even sensitive skin can generally receive it comfortably, and daily activities can be resumed right away. It aims to support sebum control and pore condition without oral acne medication, and the degree of change varies with skin condition.
