For pitted acne scars, is the laser selected differently depending on the shape?

Scheduled branch to visit: Maypure Ilsan Branch

 

I am wondering if the treatment plan for acne scars on the cheeks varies depending on the shape of the indentations. Although narrow, deep areas and wide, shallow sunken areas are both referred to as scars, I suspect the actual details to be examined differ. I share the same desire for my skin to look more even, but I would like to know what criteria are used to select the appropriate treatment method.

There are cases where contours are barely visible when illuminated by bright light from the front, but become prominent when light comes in from the side. I am curious if you check the depth and shape during the consultation by adjusting the lighting or examining the skin in person. Since phone photos alone can either exaggerate the condition or fail to capture it accurately, what kind of photos would be helpful?

When there are red or brown marks around the scar, I would like to be informed about the color and contours separately. I believe that a change where the color fades and becomes less noticeable is different from the indentation itself changing. Rather than bundling various treatments together from the start, I would like to know if I can determine the areas I am most concerned about and receive guidance on the treatment order.

If I am choosing a laser, I would like to hear about the specific scars and goals for which it is used, rather than just the name of the equipment. How is it decided whether to treat the entire face or focus on specific areas? Could you explain how to distinguish between pores and scars that look similar? If there are areas that are difficult to resolve with a single method, I would also like to know their limitations in advance.

I would appreciate it if the recovery period could be divided into time for the redness to subside and time for the skin to be evaluated. I am wondering if I can proceed directly to the next treatment just because my skin looks normal on the outside, or if an interval to monitor the condition is necessary. If I have a work schedule that requires me to wear makeup, I would like to inform you from the beginning so that we can adjust the plan.

I would also like to know if the number of sessions is maintained as initially decided or adjusted based on intermediate photos and skin condition. Do you also provide guidance on how to adjust lighting and facial expressions when taking comparison photos? Rather than zooming in to find flaws, I would like to see how my skin texture changes as it appears on the street.

I would like to inquire if I can receive a consultation at the Ilsan branch based on the type of acne scar. Before comparing costs, I would like to know what realistic goals I should aim for regarding my skin. Would it be okay to take some time to think it over at home after the consultation before making a decision? It seems there are more concerns than I initially thought hidden under the single name of "scar."

  • 붉은 자국이 옅어지는 것과 패인 부분이 달라지는 건 구분해서 봐야 한다는 말이 와닿네요
