Is the acne treatment painful?

After trying various methods to deal with my acne, I eventually started considering professional acne treatments. At first, I thought home care would be sufficient, but due to recurring breakouts and scarring, I became increasingly interested in professional procedures. However, upon researching, I found there are many different types of treatments, and above all, there are many stories about the pain, so I am having trouble making a decision.

I am particularly worried because many reviews mention that the acne treatment is quite painful. While some say it is bearable, others say the pain was stronger than expected, which deepens my concerns. Since my skin tends to be sensitive, I am also anxious that the pain might feel more intense when I receive the treatment.

However, as my acne keeps recurring, I am starting to wonder if I really need to get an acne treatment. I am drawn to procedures like extraction or laser therapy because they are said to show quick results, but the pain involved in the process is my biggest concern. In particular, hearing that I need to undergo the treatment multiple times makes the prospect of having to endure pain every time feel burdensome.

People around me say that their skin definitely improves after getting acne treatments, but I am even more confused because they say the pain varies from person to person. Although I know that some procedures can reduce pain through anesthesia, I also hear that it is difficult to eliminate it completely, so I think I need to have realistic expectations.

Ultimately, I think the decision of whether or not to get an acne treatment depends on how much pain I am willing to endure. They say that some degree of pain must be tolerated for the sake of effectiveness, but since it is difficult to know exactly what level that is, my dilemma just keeps piling up. Nevertheless, I think it is time to seriously consider an acne treatment at least once to resolve my recurring skin concerns.
