How many acne skin care sessions do I need to feel like my skin has stabilized?
I'm looking into acne skincare, and what I'm most curious about is how many sessions I need to see a change.
I'm not expecting my skin to improve dramatically after just one session, but if I keep going for months and see almost no change, I think I might get a little discouraged.
It’s not like I’m getting really bad right now; it just keeps repeating this cycle of getting better, a few popping up, and then subsiding again. So even if my skin looks fine for a day or two, I can’t feel at ease anymore, haha. I have a feeling something will pop up again in a few days.
In this case, when you start acne skin care, how often and at what intervals do you usually receive treatments at first?
I am also curious whether I can feel gradual changes in redness or skin texture from the first treatment, or if I need to do it at least three times to see the skin stabilizing.
Rather than deciding on multiple sessions at once, I would like to try it a few times first and see how my skin reacts.
I'm also wondering if it's okay to start that way, haha.
Can the acne skincare routine also vary slightly depending on the condition of the skin each day?
I'm wondering if the approach is to focus on extraction and soothing at first because there are a lot of breakouts, and then manage it in a different way once the skin stabilizes a bit.
I'm not expecting my skin to be completely free of breakouts, but I think I would be quite satisfied if the frequency of breakouts decreased compared to before and they calmed down quickly even when they did appear.
For those of you who have been consistently receiving acne skin care, at around which session did you start to feel like things were a bit different than before?
I am wondering if it is too early to judge after only one or two sessions, or if it is possible to get a sense of whether it suits my skin to some extent even in the beginning.
For those of you who started because you were hesitant about the number of sessions, please let me know how many treatments you actually received before deciding to continue haha.

- 01CommentsSince the management of recurring breakouts around the chin varies depending on the cause, it would be helpful to take notes on when the condition worsens, the cosmetics you use, and your lifestyle patterns when you visit for your initial consultation. If you mention in advance that you have dry skin and are concerned about irritation, they will be able to guide you accordingly.200026.10.22
- 02CommentsWhen comparing prices, it would be helpful to request a breakdown of the basic package and optional items per session. Please check which items are included—such as diagnostic imaging, consultation, extraction, anti-inflammatory injections, and prescriptions—and verify if medication costs and VAT are separate. For packages, it would be convenient to compare options under the same conditions if you were informed of the session-specific composition, usage period, and settlement criteria for changing the plan midway.330026.10.22
- 03CommentsIf redness recurs even after extraction, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor to examine your current inflammatory condition and the cause of the recurrence, rather than simply comparing satisfaction reviews. Be sure to receive an explanation regarding the purpose of scaling, extraction, and prescription, as well as the specific items needed at this time. Also, ask when the progress will be evaluated after each session. Before selecting a package, checking the composition of each session, expected irritation, and guidelines for contacting the doctor if your skin becomes redder or painful will help you establish a proper care plan.170026.10.22
