Treating Acne with Gold? The New Concept Acne Treatment Gold PTT
Did you know that 'gold' is used in acne treatment? Gold PTT (Photothermal Therapy), a new concept acne treatment that has recently gained attention, is a method that utilizes gold particles to improve acne, and interest in its safety and effectiveness is growing. Today, we will take a detailed look at what Gold PTT is and how it works safely.
What kind of treatment is Gold PTT?
Gold PTT is a treatment method that involves penetrating gold nanoparticles into the skin and then irradiating them with a specific wavelength of laser to selectively destroy the sebaceous glands that cause acne. This method is emerging as a new alternative, complementing the limitations of existing acne treatments.
Is Gold PTT a safe treatment?
Many people may be concerned about gold particles entering the body. However, Gold PTT is known to be a very safe treatment method. After treatment, the gold particles do not remain in the body but are naturally expelled.
Gold PTT involves gold particles entering the body, but they are naturally expelled after laser treatment, so you can consider it a safe treatment method.
Research Results Showing No Gold Particles Remain in the Body
Issues regarding the safety of Gold PTT have also been raised in the United States. According to research by the Harvard Medical School Rox Anderson Group, it was reported that gold particles do not remain in the body but are expelled from the skin. These research results serve as important evidence supporting the safety of Gold PTT.
Long-standing Research by the Harvard Medical School Rox Anderson Group
Research on Gold PTT has been actively conducted by the Harvard Medical School Rox Anderson Group for as long as 20 years. This extensive and in-depth research over a long period suggests that Gold PTT has a sufficient scientific basis.
Gold PTT Actively Used in the Global Market
Gold PTT has been commercialized and actively used in the global market in recent years.
- It was launched in Europe last year.
- It was launched in the United States earlier this year and is being applied to many patients.
Such active use overseas increases confidence in the efficacy and safety of Gold PTT.
Domestic Introduction Status
In Korea, Yonsei Star Dermatology announced its domestic introduction by presenting data on Gold PTT at an academic conference earlier this year. This is expected to provide a new treatment option for acne patients in Korea.
