Can a Korean aesthetic clinic treat hormonal acne?
It can treat the lesions, the oil and the marks, which is a meaningful part of the problem and often the part you can see. It cannot act on a hormonal driver. If the pattern suggests one, the sensible order is a medical consultation for the systemic side and in-clinic work alongside it, with each doctor knowing what the other is doing.
How much does hormonal acne treatment cost in Cheongdam, Seoul?
It depends which routes your plan uses. At Dear Clinic gland-targeted radiofrequency is ₩250,000 (≈ $180) for a full face, jet delivery is ₩500,000 (≈ $355), a toning session with skincare is ₩200,000 (≈ $145), and full-face skin botox on the Korean tier is ₩150,000 (≈ $105). Your own total is written out before anything begins.
Will this stop my acne coming back?
No treatment here ends acne permanently, and we will not tell you otherwise. What gland-targeted work aims at is the particular lesion that returns to the same place, and what the rest of the plan aims at is the damage each flare leaves. Whether new lesions appear depends on drivers a device does not reach.
Do you prescribe medication for acne here?
Systemic acne medication is a decision for a physician who can examine you, monitor you and follow the course over months, and that is where those conversations belong. What this page covers is in-clinic device and injection work. If your presentation calls for the medical route first, you will be told at the consultation and nothing will be treated that day.
Why does my acne sit along my jaw and chin?
That lower-face distribution is the one most commonly described in adult acne, and it tends to come with deeper, more tender lesions that repeat in a small number of places. The pattern is useful information at the consultation, though it is a clue about how to plan the treatment and not a diagnosis of any underlying cause.
How many sessions will I need?
We do not publish a number, because it depends on how many lesions are active, how deep they sit and what your history shows. The plan is described at the consultation with the cost of each visit stated, and each session is paid as it happens, so nothing is prepaid and you can stop at any review.
Can I treat active lesions and old marks in the same visit?
Usually we separate them. Toning across inflamed skin risks provoking more colour than it removes, so the order here is to quieten what is active first and start the mark work once the face has settled. Where your capture shows a face that is already calm, both can sometimes run together, and your director will say which applies.
Is skin botox useful for acne?
It is aimed at surface oil and coarse texture across a whole face, so it sits alongside lesion work rather than replacing it. Full-face skin botox on the Korean tier is ₩150,000 (≈ $105) here. If the diagnosis says active inflammation is the main issue, that gets addressed first and this stays a later conversation.
Does gland-targeted radiofrequency hurt, and what is the downtime?
Comfort measures are confirmed at consultation, which is the step that decides how the session feels. Afterwards expect redness, some swelling and small crusts at the treated points for a few days. Plan around anything important in that window, and leave the treated points alone while they settle.
Will you refuse to treat me?
On some days, yes. Skin that is acutely inflamed or barrier-damaged, certain current medications, and a presentation that needs medical management first are all reasons we reschedule or decline. A session pushed through on skin in that state costs you a visit and risks making the week worse.
I am visiting Seoul for a short trip. Is one session worth booking?
For a small number of specific recurring lesions, one session is a complete piece of work and obliges you to nothing further. For a widely active face or for mark work, a single visit is the opening of a plan you would be continuing at home, and we will tell you which of the two you are before you book anything.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
A bare face if possible, the names of everything you are currently using on your skin, any prescriptions you are taking, and your own account of when flares happen. Prescription topicals matter most, because a few of them change what can safely be done on the day and one or two mean we reschedule.
