Acne Treatment in Korea: Energy-Based Devices (EBD)

Lecture at the Korean Society for Clinical Dermatologic Treatment Spring Symposium

On March 16, 2025, a lecture on “Acne Treatment Using EBD (Energy-Based Devices)” was presented at the 23rd Korean Society for Clinical Dermatologic Treatment Spring Symposium.

The symposium was held at the Halla Grand Ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Convention Tower at Seoul Dragon City.

What Are Energy-Based Devices?

Energy-based devices (EBDs) use controlled forms of energy—such as laser, light, radiofrequency, or other device-based technologies—to support a range of dermatologic treatments. In acne care, these devices may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan depending on factors such as:

• The type and severity of acne
• Active inflammation and oil production
• Skin sensitivity and skin tone
• Acne scarring or post-acne discoloration
• Previous acne treatments and treatment response
• A patient’s travel schedule and expected downtime
