Inflammatory Acne Around the Nose Calms After 1 Derma Acnes Session in Da Nang
Real case · Coleni Beauty · 31/10/2026
This real case involved a 25-year-old female client who visited Coleni with a cluster of inflammatory acne concentrated around the bridge of her nose and inner cheeks: several swollen pustules, red and oily surrounding skin, and clearly visible pores around the nose. Localized acne like this is very common at age 25, when increased oil production tends to accumulate in the T-zone.
The client chose one Derma Acnes session, and this article honestly records what one session achieved: the pustules were treated and dried, the inflammation visibly calmed, and the skin surface looked more even immediately after leaving the spa. The remaining light dark marks and mild pinkness are normal, and will fade through the skin renewal cycle.
Client Information
| Category | Initial condition |
|---|---|
| Gender / age | Female, 25 years old |
| Treatment area | Around the bridge of the nose and inner cheeks |
| Main concerns | A cluster of inflammatory acne, several swollen pustules, reddened skin |
| Skin condition | Excess oil in the T-zone, clearly visible pores |
| Treatment | 1 Derma Acnes session |
Why Derma Acnes Was Chosen for This Case
The session began with a skin analysis and 1:1 consultation with a Skin Coach, as with every case at Coleni. The analysis showed a fairly typical situation: acne in the inflammatory phase with active pustules, localized to one area, on otherwise healthy skin. This is exactly where Derma Acnes, priced at 800.000 VND, with a duration of 110 mins, is appropriate: a specialized peel for inflammatory acne that targets three goals at once:
- Calming visible inflammation: reducing redness, swelling, and the stinging or painful sensation around the acne lesions.
- Speeding up pustule drying: especially important for active pustules, because properly dried lesions will consolidate rather than rupture and spread.
- Gentle, low-swelling extraction: mature comedones are extracted using medical techniques during the session, helping minimize the spread of infection to neighboring follicles.
There is no skin peeling and no downtime, so clients who have the treatment at noon can return to work normally in the afternoon. For a small, localized acne cluster, early intervention in one session is much more affordable and gentle than waiting for it to spread into a broader inflammatory breakout before treating it.
What Happens During a Derma Acnes Session
| Step | Details | Benefits for this case |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Coleni's standard 5-step deep cleansing | Removes excess oil around the nose and prepares a clean skin surface before treatment. |
| 2 | Deep acne extraction | Gently extracts mature lesions around the bridge of the nose and inner cheeks while minimizing swelling. |
| 3 | Mask combined with FOTOAGE light therapy | Immediately soothes the recently extracted area, reduces redness, and stimulates recovery. |
| 4 | Specialized deep chemical peel for inflammatory acne | Targets acne-causing bacteria, dries and consolidates lesions, and prevents inflammation from spreading to nearby areas. |
| 5 | Soothing and restorative serum infusion | Locks in moisture and reinforces the skin barrier after treatment. |
Steps 3 and 4 explain why the skin in the after photo calmed so quickly: the therapeutic light reduced redness while the client was still on the treatment bed, while the peel addressed bacteria and acne cores that could not all be removed manually.
Before and Immediately After the Session
Before treatment: a cluster of inflammatory acne with several clearly swollen pustules around the bridge of the nose and inner cheeks, red skin, and an oily nose area.
Immediately after treatment: the pustules had been treated and dried, with no visibly swollen lesions remaining. The skin had calmed, with mild pinkness at the recently extracted sites. This pinkness fades within a few days, while the light dark marks gradually fade through the skin renewal cycle.
This is the result of a real case, not a guarantee. The degree of improvement after one session depends on the number of inflamed lesions, the maturity of the acne cores, and each person's skin condition.
Is One Session Enough?
For a localized acne cluster on healthy skin like this case, one session addressed the visible concerns, which was exactly the client's goal. For recurrent or widespread inflammatory acne, Derma Acnes works best as part of a multi-session treatment plan combined with at-home care guided by a Skin Coach, because the sources of acne formation, such as excess oil and clogged pores, take time to control.
Two multi-session cases for comparison: forehead inflammatory acne after 3 Bio Acnes + PDT Acnes sessions and cheek acne after 5 PDT Acnes sessions alternating with Recovery Treatment. The article choosing a facial for acne-prone skin in Da Nang explains how to choose the right starting point based on your actual skin condition.
If you have a similar acne cluster, your first skin analysis at Coleni (06 Nguyen Chi Thanh, Hai Chau, open daily from 9:00–20:30, with English-language consultation available) will determine whether you need an early treatment session or a complete treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does one Derma Acnes session take, and how much does it cost?
One session lasts 110 mins and costs 800.000 VND according to the current menu. It includes skin analysis, cleansing, a specialized peel for inflammatory acne, and acne extraction when appropriate.
Will the skin be red after treatment, or is downtime required?
The recently extracted areas may remain mildly pink for a few days, as shown in this case's after photo. The treatment does not cause skin peeling, and clients can carry on with normal activities and wear light makeup; during the first 24–48 hours, avoid intense sun exposure and strong active ingredients used independently.
Can swollen pustules be squeezed?
Squeezing at home is the quickest way to turn one acne lesion into a dark mark or spread inflammation to a nearby area. During a Derma Acnes session, only mature lesions are extracted, using medical instruments after the soothing step.
When is one session appropriate, and when is a multi-session treatment plan needed?
For a small, localized acne cluster on healthy skin, early treatment in one session is reasonable. Widespread acne, repeated breakouts, or irritated skin require a multi-session treatment plan; the initial skin analysis will provide the most accurate answer for each individual.
