This is my first time getting acne treatment, so I would like to know the recommended number of sessions and the approximate cost.

I have been experiencing recurring acne breakouts, so I feel that I should get proper treatment rather than managing it on my own. However, since this is my first time, I am unsure how the acne treatment offered at a clinic is structured, so I am writing to inquire. I have heard that acne treatment generally involves repeating extraction, peeling, and laser treatments at regular intervals. I would like to know how many sessions are typically received and at what intervals once I actually visit the clinic for treatment, as well as what is a recommended number of sessions that a beginner can use as a guideline. I have also heard that if there is a lot of inflammatory acne, intensive acne treatment is often prioritized first, followed by the addition of lasers like Pico or Fraxel for marks or scars. I am curious to know what criteria the doctor uses to determine if my current condition requires immediate scar laser treatment, or if acne treatment alone is sufficient to clear up the issue. Cost is also a realistic concern for me. I would like to know the average price of a single acne treatment session that includes extraction and aftercare, how much the price per session decreases when purchasing a 3- or 5-session package, and if there are any acne treatment packages that include regenerative care or skincare, I would like to see examples of their contents. Finally, if you could specifically point out what lifestyle habits—such as washing my face, applying makeup, exercising, and drinking alcohol—I should avoid while receiving acne treatment, and in particular any behaviors that are likely to reduce the effectiveness of the treatment or worsen scars, it would be of great help in deciding whether to start treatment.
