I have a massive breakout of cystic acne around my cheeks. Is acne scaling effective? ㅠㅠ

My period coincided with this, and I've been under a lot of stress lately, so the area around both my cheeks completely exploded with bright red, pustular acne and breakouts. It’s totally broken out ㅠㅠ It feels intensely hot to the touch, and my skin looks so messy that I absolutely cannot go out without makeup, so the stress is off the charts haha. I’m worried that if I leave it like this, it will definitely leave scars, so I’m planning to go to a dermatologist to get the sebum extracted and sign up for a full acne scaling and soothing package! I’m wondering if getting acne scaling regularly on skin like mine—which is very red and full of inflammation—will definitely calm the breakouts down and make the skin smooth ㅠㅠ Please, those of you with experience, leave some advice on how many sessions it usually takes to see results ㅠㅠ
