Can back acne be treated with the same devices you use on a face?
The two lines published for acne here, Agnes and CureJet, are the same platforms used above the collar, applied to a thicker field at settings chosen for it. What changes is depth, field size and spacing, all of which your director sets after examining the area rather than transferring a facial protocol onto a back.
Are Agnes and CureJet published as body rates?
No. Both appear on the sheet as full-face lines, at ₩250,000 (≈ $180) and ₩500,000 (≈ $355) respectively. Because a back is a larger and differently shaped field, the coverage one visit provides and the rate that applies to it are confirmed with you at the consultation. We do not print a truncal figure that this clinic has not published.
Do you prescribe tablets or creams for back acne?
Anything taken by mouth or applied at home is a medical decision made by a doctor who has examined you, and it is not something this page describes or promises. Bring whatever you are already using, prescribed or bought, to the consultation so the device plan is built around it.
Can my chest and shoulders be treated in the same appointment as my back?
Often they can, since truncal acne rarely respects an anatomical boundary. Whether the whole belt is worked in one sitting depends on the total field size and how your skin handled the first pass, and what that combined area is charged at is settled in the room before the visit is booked.
Why do the marks on my back last so much longer than the ones on my face?
Three things stack up: truncal lesions start deeper, so more inflammation is involved; the area is constantly rubbed by clothing; and almost nobody applies sunscreen to their own back. Pigment left after a lesion is a separate finding from an active lesion and is counted separately when the field is mapped.
Does the gym make truncal acne worse?
Sweat trapped under tight synthetic fabric and pressure from straps, benches and packs are mechanical inputs a face never has to deal with. None of that is a cause on its own, but it reliably keeps a field irritated between visits, which is why the habit questions are asked at the consultation alongside the skin ones.
How many visits will my back need?
A range is written against your own field at the first appointment and revised at each review. Deep truncal lesions answer more slowly than facial ones, and the size of the area changes the arithmetic, so a number quoted before anyone has looked at your back would be a guess dressed as a plan.
What does the area look like immediately after a session?
The needle route leaves heat, a hot flush across the belt and small entry points, with swelling frequently firmest the next morning. Jet delivery leaves redness and a tight, puffy feel without the pinpoint pattern. Loose cotton and a cool room make the first evening considerably easier than a fitted shirt does.
Is there a back you would refuse to treat?
Yes. Skin that is acutely inflamed, weeping or crusted across a wide area is not a field we would put energy through, and a fresh tan across the shoulders moves the date. Where the appearance suggests something other than acne, an assessment comes before any device, and we say so instead of booking a course.
Can the first session run on the day I come in?
Frequently, where the field is calm enough and the diary allows. The examination, the mapping and the agreed figure come first. The rooms open 365 days a year, so a second date is usually easy to find if the first has to move, as set out on the
weekend opening page.
I am visiting Seoul for a short trip. Is one session worth booking?
One visit can quieten active lesions in a mapped field, and that is a real outcome for a short stay. What it will not do is finish a course, because truncal skin answers across weeks. Book early in the trip if you would rather not spend the last evening in a fitted shirt over a treated back.
How do I get an opinion before I fly in?
Send the consultation form with photographs of the whole area taken in even light, plus one close range shot of the most active patch, and say how long you are in the city. We reply in English as soon as possible with the line we expect to propose and what still has to be settled in the room, which you can also arrange through the
English consultation page.
