Acne skin care and treatments have completely taken over my brain lately.
I have a mix of pitted red marks and sunken scars left behind from recurring adult acne. Because of this, acne skin care and treatments have completely dominated my thoughts lately. I can't decide whether I should get powerful laser treatments like Fraxel at a dermatology clinic or opt for Maypure's specialized acne scaling care program. I'm afraid that strong laser treatments might thin my skin barrier too much or prolong the redness, but on the other hand, I'm worried that relying solely on gentle clinic care programs won't allow the deep scars to fill in properly. Depending on the depth of the scars and my skin condition, what is the most effective ratio for combining regular care with laser treatments? I would be grateful to hear the experiences of those who have personally received treatment for pitted acne scars.

- 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
