I once had a few hard, acne-like bumps on my face.
On top of that, not just one, but three!
I thought it was just a large, pustular pimple, but it didn't fester and remained hard for over two weeks. When I went to the dermatologist, I was diagnosed with a sebaceous cyst, not acne! So, I had it removed using a pinhole laser. Personally, I was more satisfied with the results of the pinhole laser than with surgery.
Facial sebaceous cyst condition
At first, I went to a local dermatology clinic.
I thought it was acne, but then I heard it was a sebaceous cyst, so I gasped.
The director said that it needs to be removed by incision, explaining that while sebaceous cyst removal is simple, it is technically a surgery, and recommended having it done at a plastic surgery clinic since it is on the face.
But in that moment, I suddenly got really scared.
Even though it is a simple surgery, my biggest concern was the scarring from the facial incision.
So, for now, I didn't get treatment there and came home and did a lot of searching online.
Then I found out about the pinhole laser.
I was told that instead of making a large incision like in surgery, they use a laser to make a very small hole to remove the cyst inside.
Since it's on my face, I was most worried about scarring, but I heard that the pinhole laser is effective because the incision area is very small.
While searching, I found a hospital famous for sebaceous cyst removal, and it turned out to be Baro Cheokcheok Clinic, which is also well-known through YouTube videos!
I read many reviews saying that the pinhole laser was effective, so even though it was quite far from my home, I decided to go to this clinic because the reviews were so good.

After visiting the hospital for a consultation, perhaps because the director is very experienced...
They explained that this is a case where the pinhole laser effect can be fully seen.
Procedure
It's simpler than you think.
Lying on the operating table, the director checks the condition
Anesthetic injection
Pinhole Laser
Taping
IV fluid
They explained that I should manage it at home by switching to Duoderm, and told me to replace it with a new one if it starts to ooze fluid.
And what was interesting was that, perhaps because the director runs a YouTube channel, they filmed the removal process and showed it to me while I was getting the IV drip. (It wasn't uploaded to YouTube though.)
It was fascinating to watch them make just a tiny hole with a laser and remove the inflammation and cyst inside.
You're a true god of medicine!
And one of the advantages of the pinhole laser was the short treatment period.
I had surgery for a sebaceous cyst on a different part of my body a while ago, and back then, I had the stitches removed after about a week.
I had the stitches removed immediately two days later with the pinhole laser.
I had the cyst removed through that tiny hole!!
I immediately understood why people get treatment at this hospital and why the pinhole laser is said to be so effective.
I managed it by only applying Duoderm for about a week.
Thanks to you, the time it took to recover was shortened, so it was very convenient.
Actually, I was really worried because I had seen quite a few reviews on YouTube about people being left with keloid-like scars after having facial sebaceous cysts removed.
So, I was nervous looking in the mirror right after the procedure, but as time passed, my skin gradually became softer and the marks faded a lot. I realized that the Pinhole Laser really is effective.
Of course, it didn't become smooth right away, and for about two weeks, the treated area felt a bit firm and hard.
Insurance refund eligibility
The hospital explained that since it is a pinhole laser, insurance coverage might be ambiguous, so I should inquire with the insurance company.
Fortunately, I received an insurance refund.
I checked the notification and the code is "epidermal cyst"! I guess the correct name is "epidermal cyst."
However, since only actual expense coverage applied and it was not surgery, I was not reimbursed for the surgery cost item in addition to the actual expenses.
Currently, there is no trace of the sebaceous cyst that was on my face.
I was very worried about scarring, so I am really satisfied with the results of the pinhole laser.
If you are concerned about scarring after sebaceous cyst surgery, the Pinhole Laser is highly effective, so please look into it.

- 01CommentsIt depends on the type of procedure and your skin condition. You don't necessarily need an expensive regenerating cream, but after the procedure, it is important to properly maintain your skin barrier with a gentle moisturizer according to the clinic's instructions.220026.11.12
- 02CommentsThese days, instead of drawing thick lines, many people opt for a natural look by filling only the waterline between the eyelashes. This is a semi-permanent procedure that typically lasts for about 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin condition. It gradually fades over time, and depending on the pigment blend, it may turn slightly bluish or brown. If you want a natural look, I recommend getting it done thinly and clearly, focusing mainly on the waterline.681026.10.29
- 03CommentsThe PicoSure Focus Tip is a method that delivers fine energy deep into the skin to aid in collagen regeneration. For pitted pores or uneven skin texture, considering the skin's regeneration cycle, you typically need to receive treatments consistently for 3 to 5 sessions or more at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks to experience a noticeable improvement in skin texture.180026.11.12

- 02CommentsWith exosomes, I usually don't see dramatic results after just 1 or 2 sessions, but I found that you need to get them consistently at regular intervals—at least 3 or 4 sessions—to definitely feel the texture becoming smoother! If you are concerned about acne scars and enlarged pores, I recommend planning for at least 3 sessions.191126.11.11
- 03CommentsIf your cheeks have sunken due to a decrease in facial fat from rapid weight loss, you may consider procedures to restore the lost volume. If the sunken areas are localized, you can consult about hyaluronic acid fillers; if you desire volume over a wider area and a natural improvement, you can discuss collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra. If you have relatively little facial fat, it is necessary to assess the location and depth of the sunken areas and supplement with a small amount, rather than filling with a large quantity from the start.321126.11.10
- 01CommentsSince the response to melasma varies depending on its depth and skin condition, it is difficult to say exactly how many sessions will be needed for improvement. If it is in the early stages, it is best to start treatment early, but I have heard that it is difficult to guarantee that it will completely disappear even after multiple Pico Toning sessions. Rather than deciding on the number of treatments right away, I recommend having a dermatologist confirm whether it is indeed melasma first, and consistently using sunscreen. I think it is better to proceed while monitoring your skin condition rather than undergoing treatments excessively.5194226.10.25
- 02CommentsFace size varies depending on fat distribution and bone structure, so it can be compensated for to some extent through procedures or lifestyle changes. Consulting with a specialist will help you find the right method for you.761126.10.15
- 03CommentsJuvelook is a procedure that induces collagen production deep within the skin, helping to improve pores, fine lines, and skin texture. After the Juvelook procedure, the embossing usually lasts for 1 to 3 days, while redness often persists for several days. Improvements in pores or skin texture are typically felt gradually starting 4 to 8 weeks later, and changes can be observed over 2 to 3 months as collagen production progresses. However, individual differences exist, and results may vary depending on the procedure method and skin condition.811026.10.24
