Could the parts that look like pores actually be pitted scars? I'd like to inquire about a laser consultation.

I am wondering how to distinguish whether the bumpy appearance of my cheek skin is due to enlarged pores or pitted marks from past breakouts. I feel that they might look similar when viewed up close in the mirror. Rather than deciding on pore care on my own and seeking treatments, I would like to have my condition assessed through a medical consultation first.

Could I discuss areas that are less visible from the front but become more prominent when light comes in from the side? I feel that photos might not accurately capture the actual feeling of what bothers me. I am wondering if you check by varying the lighting and angles during a visit, or if bringing a few reference photos would be helpful.

I would also like to know if the consultation approach varies depending on the size or depth of any indented areas. It seems that even if the scars are all the same, the necessary approach might differ if their shapes vary. Rather than choosing a specific laser simply because it is famous, I would like to hear an explanation of which areas of my skin it targets.

When I receive a consultation at Maypure Mokdong, should I mention if I am still getting acne? I am wondering if the priorities for managing old marks change depending on my current skin condition. I would appreciate it if you could also look into other concerns, such as excess sebum or dryness, and guide me through an overall treatment plan.

I am also curious about the recovery period I should expect after the procedure. I would like to know if redness, peeling, or a rough skin sensation are possible, as well as precautions I should take in my daily life. In particular, I think I need specific guidance on things like when and how to adjust shaving and exercise.

I would also like to hear in advance the criteria for judging the changes. Rather than expecting my skin to become completely smooth, I want to start by understanding which areas are likely to change and to what extent. I am also curious whether photos are taken under the same lighting and distance when comparing them, and how they are evaluated midway through if the process is conducted multiple times.

I would also like to ask if I need to finalize the entire plan recommended during the initial consultation immediately. Could we adjust the schedule to a manageable level after confirming the recovery time and costs? I would also like to be informed if there are any additional expenses or care required beyond the procedure fee.

For those who received laser consultations for similar concerns, what questions were the most helpful? I think it would be better to explain the specific locations of your concerns and the visible condition in detail, rather than just saying your pores are large. Please let me know if there are any photos or past skincare records that would be helpful to prepare before the consultation.
