I am curious about the recommended number of treatment sessions for the pitted marks and acne scars left on my cheeks.

Hello. I am a man in my late 30s working at a company.

I had a lot of breakouts on my chin and cheeks in my 20s, and the pitted marks from back then are still there. Lately, I'm more bothered by these marks than by new breakouts. When I shave in the morning and look under the bathroom light, my cheeks look bumpy.

Perhaps because my pores look enlarged as well, it is noticeable even on video conference screens. So, I am thinking of getting a consultation for acne scar treatment this winter.

First, I am curious about the recommended number of sessions for acne scar treatment. I don't think it will be finished in a single session, so I would like to know how many sessions are typically required and how often they are spaced.

I am also curious how long the redness or scab lasts after receiving it. Since I have to go to work on weekdays, I am wondering if it will be okay to go to work on Monday if I get it on Friday evening.

Since these are old marks, I plan to ask during the consultation how much they can fade with acne scar treatment. It would also be helpful to let me know the approximate treatment time so I can schedule an appointment. I will take your reply into consideration.

  • 아침에 면도할 때 조명 아래에서 더 도드라져 보인다는 말씀에 공감합니다. 저도 여드름성 피부라 나중에 자국이 남을까 걱정돼 흉터 치료 시기를 문의해 둔 상태라 권장 횟수와 간격 답변이 궁금합니다. 금요일 저녁에 받고 주말 동안 회복하는 일정도 좋은 방법 같은데, 붉은기가 며칠 가는지 답변이 달리면 같이 참고하겠습니다.
  • 출근 일정이 중요하다면 금요일 시술만으로 월요일 회복을 예상하기보다, 흉터 종류별 방법과 예상 붉은기 기간을 먼저 안내받아 보세요. 면도 재개 시점과 첫 경과 확인 일정도 함께 물어보시면 계획에 도움이 되겠습니다.
