How much should I expect to pay for acne treatment?
Lately, I've been getting recurring acne breakouts around my chin and cheeks, so I'm considering getting treatment at a dermatology clinic. In the past, I would only get one or two pimples that would go away quickly, but recently, I've been getting a lot of inflammatory ones, and they even leave red marks after they subside, making it difficult to manage on my own.
I am looking into acne treatments, and since there is a wide variety ranging from basic care like extraction and soothing to laser treatments, I am wondering how I should start. In particular, I have heard that consistent treatment over several sessions is necessary rather than just a single one, so I would like to know if the treatment method and number of sessions are usually determined based on my skin condition during the initial consultation.
My biggest concern is the cost. I am curious whether payment is made per session for acne treatment, or if multiple sessions can be bundled together. I would also like to know if the cost varies significantly depending on the severity of inflammation or the specific procedures used. Could I also receive a consultation regarding the estimated cost range for managing both acne and acne scars simultaneously?
