Red marks remain where breakouts on my chin used to be. Do I need separate treatment for these marks?
Hello. I am a man in my late 30s working at a company.
I've frequently gotten breakouts on my chin. Lately, I'm more concerned about the spots left behind than the breakouts themselves. The red marks linger for quite a while, and some have turned dark.
It feels like recovery is slower as the weather gets drier. Sometimes, after shaving in the morning, only the areas with the marks turn even redder.
I'm uploading a photo as well. The dot-like marks remaining on the tip of my chin and jawline are the marks.
I'm wondering if I can receive acne treatment and scar treatment at the same time. Or is it better to treat the acne first and then the scars later?
I would also like to know if the care methods for red marks and dark marks are different. I am also curious about what factors you consider during the consultation to make a decision.
I only have time during my lunch break on weekdays. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if the results are barely noticeable if I return to work immediately after the procedure, and also how often I need to visit.
I have a lot of meetings and company dinners until the end of the year, so I'm thinking of starting before then. I will take your response into consideration.

- 02CommentsIt is really frustrating when marks linger for so long. Since redness can easily cause irritation, I think it is a great idea to establish a treatment order and manage it slowly. If you mention the condition of your cheek redness, downtime, and work schedule during the consultation, it will be a great help in choosing the procedure. The fact that you are having few new breakouts means that your skin is already being managed well, so there is no need to rush. Good luck!280026.11.02

- 02CommentsIt would be difficult to determine the required number of sessions from the start, as it varies depending on the level of inflammation, the presence of scars, and management goals. It would make comparisons easier if you asked about the timing of the interim evaluation and the criteria for modifying the plan during the consultation.500026.10.28

- 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!1280026.10.25
