No booking until you confirm.
Why acne forms
Acne starts when excess oil cannot leave the pore, blocks it and becomes inflamed.
Contributing factors include oily skin passed down in families, too much oil and dead skin in the follicle, hormone changes during adolescence, periods or pregnancy, and acne bacteria that irritate the skin.
Treating active acne
The doctor examines your acne, extracts the deep lesions, then adds the treatments that suit you: medication, acne peel, soft peel, black peel or aqua peel.
Laser S-peel can be added for inflamed acne. Carbon is applied and heated with the laser, which reduces oil secretion and acne bacteria.
Fraxel for acne, scars and pores
Fraxel delivers heat energy into the dermis to remodel collagen. Because damage to the epidermis is kept low, the risk of side effects such as pigmentation or worsening melasma is lower.
It is used for wrinkles, skin tone, acne and pores and different kinds of scars, and it can soften lines around the eyes and mouth. It also tightens sagging areas without scabbing. Settings are adjusted to your skin.
RF laser for acne
RF (radio frequency) treatment uses electrical current instead of light to heat the dermis and the oil glands. It limits surface damage while reducing excess oil and calming inflammation.
The clinic lists four effects: oil control to prevent blocked pores, calmer red and pus-filled acne, fewer breakouts over time, and collagen production that helps scars and pores.
Fractional RF delivers energy through fine electrode needles into the dermis. It is suited to acne scars and enlarged pores. Non-invasive RF heats from the surface, has shorter downtime and suits sensitive skin, mild acne and maintenance.
Acne scar treatment
Scars differ in shape: ice-pick scars (narrow and deep, the hardest to treat), rolling scars, boxcar scars and raised keloid scars, which often appear on the jaw.
Options include Fraxel, pinhole laser, Affirm, PRP and MTS. The treatment is matched to the scar type, and dark marks around the scars are treated as well.
Treatment steps
- Consultation and diagnosis of your acne
- Extraction of deep acne
- Peel, medication or laser matched to your skin
- Scar and pigment treatment if needed
- Ongoing care plan to reduce recurrence

Questions
Can I travel home soon after?
Normal activities are possible after 1–2 days. Because acne care runs over months, the clinic plans what to do in Seoul and what to continue at home at consultation.
How long does acne treatment take?
It depends on severity. Inflamed acne usually takes 2–3 months and scar treatment 3–6 months. Your plan is set at consultation.
What should I avoid during treatment?
Do not squeeze acne with your hands and avoid irritating cosmetics. Keep skin hydrated, keep regular habits and use medication as directed.
What acne treatments are available?
Acne peel, soft peel, Black Peel, Aqua Peel and medication. Deep acne is extracted first, then the method that suits your skin is used to clear blemishes and smooth the surface.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Deep acne is fully extracted, then laser, peels and medication are used to treat the cause, which lowers the chance of recurrence. A personal care plan after treatment helps keep it from coming back. Results vary by person.
Can acne scars be treated?
Yes. Fraxel, pinhole laser, Affirm, PRP and MTS are used, chosen by scar type, including dark marks and indented scars.
Does the treatment depend on the scar type?
Yes. Ice-pick, rolling, boxcar and keloid scars each respond to different methods, so the scar type is diagnosed first and the treatment is chosen for it.
Results vary by person.
