My skin, which had been fine since becoming an adult, has recently started to get covered in small bumps and red acne on my chin and cheeks, possibly due to stress and the changing seasons. I tried squeezing them myself, but it seems to only leave scars and further damage my skin barrier, so I am now planning to start proper acne treatment at a dermatology clinic.
There are so many types of treatments, ranging from extraction to scaling and laser therapy, that I have no idea where to start. I am curious about the typical cost of an acne treatment package or 3 to 5 scaling sessions at a dermatology clinic. I would also like to know if any items are covered by insurance. I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences and information regarding treatment costs, as well as whether short-term care is sufficient for improvement or if long-term treatment is necessary.
