What is the recommended order of procedures to manage acne scars and redness together?
2026.10.29 19:43
Hello. I have been experiencing recurring acne on my chin and cheeks for several years, and I am concerned because red marks and shallow pitted scars remain wherever breakouts have occurred. I feel that washing my face and using ointments have reached their limits, so I am looking into treatments. I would like to ask for your advice on the best approach.
I am currently considering two main options. One is to reduce the redness first after the inflammation subsides, and the other is to undergo a procedure to improve the scar itself first. I have heard that it is possible to do both at once, so I am wondering if it is okay to receive them together or if I should have them done separately with some time in between.
Another thing is lifestyle management. As a working professional, it is difficult to make time frequently, so I would like to know what products or habits I should practice at home between treatments. Are there any specific areas I should pay attention to besides sun protection and sebum control?
Finally, I also need a rough estimate of the cost and recovery period. It would be very helpful for me to prepare before the consultation if you could let me know how much I should expect per session and how much it might interfere with my daily life after the procedure. Thank you for reading.

- 01CommentsIt is important to have the issue checked first, rather than assuming that all small bumps are sebum. It would be helpful to include details such as when they appeared, their location, and any hair products you have recently changed to make the explanation easier. If extraction is not necessary, I would also like to hear during the consultation what actions I should avoid at home.220026.10.29

What do you check first during a consultation regarding red marks remaining after acne has subsided?[3]
CommentsIt is good that you are trying to differentiate between red marks and blemishes that are still emerging during the consultation. It would be easier to explain if you noted when the redness subsided and when the color changed. Try asking whether managing inflammation is the priority right now or when it is the appropriate time to examine the marks, and receive guidance on cleansing and sun protection methods tailored to your skin condition.260026.10.30 - 03CommentsI appreciate you mentioning that you want to hear the purpose and criteria for delaying treatment for each method. I am also curious if it is possible to assess the situation first using only moisturizing or soothing, even when extraction is not being performed. Regarding the record before the next visit, it would be helpful to be guided to distinguish between changes that absolutely need to be checked and those that require contact, rather than having too many items.200026.10.30
- 01CommentsI'm also stressed because I keep getting acne, but it seems like getting laser treatments consistently is important. I think it will get better after receiving more than 10 sessions.2090026.10.26
- 02CommentsI imagine you are really curious if you can manage both blackheads and acne at the same time. It would be a good idea to consult with them to see if they can be treated together after assessing your skin condition.580026.10.25
- 03CommentsI get breakouts on my chin before and after my period exactly the same way, so it really feels like I'm on the same page. During your consultation, please ask about the best order to manage the current inflammation and remaining marks, as well as available time slots after work!1170026.10.25
