Acne, Scars & Pores
Acne Treatment in Seoul

QUICK ANSWER

Acne treatment at The Heal starts with a dermatologist's diagnosis of acne type and triggers, then combines prescription medication, professional extraction, anti-inflammatory injections and energy devices such as Potenza or LDM. Visible calming usually begins within 2–4 weeks; controlling acne long-term takes 2–3 months of follow-up, which can continue remotely once you return home.

How it works

Acne has four drivers: excess oil, blocked pores, bacteria and inflammation. Dr. Yang targets each with the right combination, rather than one treatment for everyone.

Who is it for?

  • Persistent adult acne or hormonal jawline breakouts
  • Inflamed cysts before an event
  • Acne that has not responded to over-the-counter products

Aftercare

  • Non-comedogenic moisturiser and SPF
  • Do not pick or squeeze
