I am planning to start adult acne treatment. How long will the procedure take?

Hello, community members. I never had acne even in high school, but it started creeping up in my late 20s, and now it has spread severely to my chin and cheeks as cystic acne, which is causing me so much stress. At first, I thought it was just a pimple and left it alone, but it leaves dark marks and keeps recurring in the same spots, so there is a limit to how much I can cover it up with makeup.

I felt like my scars only got bigger from trying to squeeze them out on my own at home, so I decided that I really need to get proper acne treatment now. After looking into it, I learned that there are lasers that destroy sebaceous glands, and that I also need to consistently combine them with skin care treatments like scaling or anti-inflammatory injections. I plan to visit the Maypure Gimpo Janggi branch, which is close to my home, to receive a thorough consultation on acne treatment tailored to my skin condition.

However, since I am a working professional, I can only visit the clinic late on weekdays after work. I know it varies depending on the type of acne treatment, but roughly how long does a single session usually take, including extraction, laser treatment, scaling, and soothing care? I am wondering if 1 to 1.5 hours for the procedure itself would be sufficient if I go straight home from work, excluding waiting time.

Also, for those receiving acne treatment, do you usually go consistently once a week? Or am I curious if it is done every two weeks or a month depending on the condition? I want to focus on getting anti-inflammatory injections to calm down the pustules and managing sebum production. If anyone has received similar acne treatment at the Gimpo Janggi branch, please share your genuine reviews on how it was!

I've heard that lifestyle habits and stress have a significant impact on adult acne, so I feel lost about whether I should adjust my diet alongside dermatological treatment. ㅠㅠ I saw posts saying that the directors at Maypure are really thorough and painless when extracting skin, so I am looking forward to it haha. I feel like my skin will turn pockmarked if I neglect it any longer, so I want to start acne treatment as soon as possible to get my flawless skin back. I would be really grateful if anyone could leave a comment regarding the procedure time or treatment cycle!!

    클렌징과 진정 관리 과정을 모두 포함해도 대략 30분 내외로 빠르게 끝나는 편이에요.

    새로운 여드름이 올라오는 횟수가 줄어든 것이 가장 만족스러웠고, 피부가 깨끗해 보이면서 자신감도 생겼습니다.
