I am curious about the criteria for acne and pore consultations, sharing concerns, and determining the order of care.
I am concerned about both acne and enlarged pores, so I would like to ask for advice on how to differentiate between the two issues when explaining them during a consultation. I plan to show the attached photos to explain my concerns and organize the treatment sequence and consultation questions. I am also wondering if it is necessary to check for blockages or inflammation first, rather than just discussing the visible size of the pores.
In particular, what is the difference between cases where acne treatment must be performed first and cases where pore-related consultation can be conducted simultaneously? I understand that even on the same area, breakouts, remaining marks, and visible pores can vary. I would like to know what observations or checks are conducted during the consultation to determine management goals.
I would also like to ask if extraction or exfoliation is included, if it is applied equally to all areas, or if it is possible to exclude areas of concern for irritation or adjust the intensity. Rather than deciding on a specific procedure in advance, I would like to distinguish between the items that need to be checked first based on my current condition and the treatments that do not need to be done immediately. I would like to know if I can establish a plan after hearing the explanation rather than making a decision on the day of the consultation, and if I can also receive guidance on treatments to avoid at home.
