When determining the recommended number of acne treatments, do you separate new breakouts from remaining marks?

I am writing to inquire because, while looking into the recommended number of acne treatments, I realized I need to define my treatment goals first. It seems that reducing new breakouts and managing existing marks require different assessments; would it be acceptable to discuss both together during the initial consultation? I would also like to know the order in which the Maypure Mokdong branch assesses the condition.

I would like to know if, when establishing an acne treatment plan, you only look at the current number of breakouts or also examine recurring patterns in the same areas. If the breakouts are quiet on the day of the appointment but reappear a few days later, I feel that relying solely on their appearance on that day might not be sufficient for a proper explanation. Would it be helpful to prepare photos with the dates or notes indicating the specific areas where the breakouts occur?

I plan to prepare a list of my usual cleansing routine and products before my acne treatment consultation. I am wondering if I need to list all the names of the products I use, or if it is sufficient to mention the ones I have recently added. I would also like to know if daily habits, such as touching or squeezing my skin, or my shaving style, are taken into account when developing a treatment plan. I am unsure how much detail I should share.

I would like to inquire whether the number of acne treatment sessions is fixed from the start or adjusted as the treatment progresses based on the amount of new breakouts and skin reactions. I am also curious if management might be necessary for other reasons even if the redness subsides on the surface, or if the scheduled course is adjusted if the skin becomes sensitive. Rather than expecting the treatment to be finished in just a few sessions, I would like to hear an explanation based on my specific condition.

When would be the best time to consult separately regarding red or brown marks remaining from acne treatment? I would like to know if we monitor them together even while new areas are appearing, or if there are situations where the skin needs to be stabilized first. I want to set specific initial goals so that I don't miss seeing the changes while trying to solve different concerns all at once.

Please guide me on the distinction between treatments that can be performed immediately during my first visit to the Mokdong branch and those that require a separate medical assessment. It would make booking easier if I knew what to prepare for the day and the schedule for follow-up checkups. As I was writing this, the question turned out longer than I expected, haha. I would also like to hear the criteria for reconsidering whether to continue the plan if I feel I am improving midway through. I would like to understand the difference between visible changes and the direction of future care.

    새로 올라오는 트러블과 남은 흔적은 관리 방향이 다를 수 있다고 해요. 상담 때 지금 피부에서 어떤 부분을 먼저 다룰지, 몇 회 진행하고 경과를 보는지 물어보시면 계획 세우는 데 도움이 될 것 같아요.
