Recommended number of acne scar treatments: How many sessions are needed for the marks on my chin?

I am a graduate student in my mid-20s. Since high school, I have frequently gotten breakouts around my chin and mouth. Wherever I squeezed or touched the skin, red marks and slightly pitted scars remained. Although the breakouts themselves have decreased a lot lately, the marks are still there, so it is upsetting that even when I cover them with makeup, the bumpy texture is visible up close.

I looked it up and found that the treatment process for acne scars varies depending on whether they are red marks or pitted scars, and that it is common to receive treatment in multiple sessions rather than finishing it in a single session. As a student, I would like to plan my budget and schedule in advance, so I am posting this question.

① How many sessions are usually recommended for acne scar treatment depending on the type of scar?

② How long do you usually leave between sessions, and what do you do if a problem arises again in the meantime?

③ I have exams coming up, so when can I return to my normal daily life after receiving acne scar treatment?

I would like to hear stories from others who have similar concerns.

  • 턱 쪽 자국은 마스크나 머리카락에 자주 닿아서 더 오래 남는 느낌이라 속상하시겠어요. 몇 번이면 옅어질지 궁금하신 거 정말 공감돼요.
  • 붉은 자국과 패인 흉터는 상담에서 목표를 나누어 설명받으면 좋겠어요. 시험 날짜와 예산을 먼저 알려드리고, 방법별 회복 여유와 첫 경과 확인 시점을 함께 물어보세요. 정해진 횟수를 한꺼번에 결정하기보다 반응을 보고 조정할 수 있는지도 확인해 보시면 계획을 세우기 편하겠습니다.
