What dermatological procedure is best for getting rid of red acne scars?
Since I work, I put on makeup every morning before going to work, but I am more worried about the red scars left after the acne subsides than the acne itself.
There are red marks here and there around my chin and on both cheeks, so my skin doesn't look clear. Even if I cover them with concealer, the marks reappear by the afternoon as my makeup wears off.
I don't have much time to visit a dermatologist after work, so I'm looking for a way to manage my skin effectively during a single treatment session. I searched online and found various procedures like V-Beam and vascular lasers, but I'm wondering which one is most suitable for red acne scars.
In particular, I would like to know if improvement is possible even for old red marks, and if there is a recovery process after the procedure that interferes with daily life, such as redness or scabbing. As a working professional, I would like to be able to get the treatment on the weekend and return to work immediately on Monday. Please let me know how many sessions are typically required to see results and how often the treatments should be spaced. If anyone has actually treated red acne marks, please share your experiences or recommendations!

When choosing an acne treatment for the first time, how are Quadsay and Capri lasers distinguished?[6]
CommentsRather than comparing the names of the two procedures, it would be best to make a decision after checking the number of current lesions, the degree of inflammation, and dryness based on the season. If this is your first time, it would make the comparison easier to ask about the specific purpose of each procedure, expected irritation, and moisturizer usage guidelines during the consultation.350026.11.01 - 02CommentsIt would be helpful to know the criteria for rescheduling in advance. When postponing the appointment, would it be okay if I also let you know the remaining amount of medication and the last date of use?160026.11.02
