Can you treat acne that is inflamed today, or should I wait?
Lesions that are currently inflamed are exactly what gland-targeted radiofrequency and jet delivery are for, so a visit during a flare is usually the right time. The exception is a face in the middle of a severe widespread flare or one that is broken and raw, where treating adds injury to a barrier that is already struggling. Your director decides which of the two you are on the day.
How much does active acne treatment cost in Seoul?
It depends which routes your plan uses. Gland-targeted radiofrequency on a full face is ₩250,000 (≈ $180), jet delivery is ₩500,000 (≈ $355), a dual toning session with in-clinic skincare is ₩200,000 (≈ $145), a vascular pass is ₩150,000 (≈ $105) and full-face skin botox on the Korean tier is ₩150,000 (≈ $105). The total for your own plan is written out before anything begins.
Do you prescribe acne medication here?
No. This page covers device and injection work only. Prescription and oral acne treatment needs examination, monitoring and follow-up over months, and that belongs with a physician who can provide all three. Where your presentation calls for that route, you are told at the consultation and nothing is treated that visit.
Will this stop new spots appearing?
It will not, and nobody here will claim it does. Gland-targeted work aims at the particular glands producing lesions in the same few places, and the rest of the plan aims at the marks each flare leaves. Whether fresh lesions appear on untreated parts of the face depends on drivers an energy device does not reach.
What is the difference between this and the acne scar page?
Timing and target. This page is about lesions and colour while a breakout is live. The scar work is about contour once everything has settled, which is months later and uses release, needling and resurfacing at settings that would be wrong on inflamed skin. Doing them in the correct order is cheaper than doing them together.
Why do my breakouts keep landing on my chin and jaw?
Lower-face recurrence in the same small number of spots is one of the most common adult patterns, and it usually means a defined set of glands doing the work. That is useful planning information because it points toward treating those points individually. It is a clue about how to treat, though, and not a diagnosis of any underlying cause.
How many sessions will I need?
No number is published, because it depends on how many lesions are active, how deep they sit and what your stored capture shows at each review. The plan is described at the consultation with the cost of each visit stated, and sessions are paid as they happen, so you can stop at any review without having prepaid a course.
Can the brown marks and the red marks be treated in the same visit?
They run on different platforms. Brown goes to the low-fluence toning route and red to the 532/1064 nm vascular laser, and both are held back until the surrounding skin is calm. Where a face is already quiet, the two can sometimes be sequenced close together, and your director will say whether yours is.
Does skin botox help with breakouts?
It is aimed at oil output and coarse texture across a whole face, so it sits beside lesion work instead of replacing it. Full-face skin botox on the Korean tier is ₩150,000 (≈ $105) here. Where the scan says live inflammation is the main event, that is handled first and this stays a later conversation.
What does the session feel like and how long is the downtime?
Expect the treated points to be red and slightly swollen afterwards, with small crusts at some of them for a few days. Comfort measures during the session are confirmed with your director at the consultation. Plan around anything important in that window and leave the treated points alone while they settle.
Are there days you would refuse to treat me?
Yes. Acutely inflamed or barrier-damaged skin, recent aggressive exfoliation, certain current medications, and a presentation that needs medical management first are all reasons we reschedule or decline. A session forced through on skin in that state costs a visit and risks a worse week.
I am in Seoul for a few days. Is a single session worth it?
For a handful of specific recurring lesions, one session is a complete piece of work that commits you to nothing further. For a widely active face or for mark work, a single visit is the opening of a plan you would continue at home, and you are told which of the two applies before you book. The clinic is open 365 days a year, so the date is rarely the obstacle.
