How painful is an acne treatment?

Lately, I have been experiencing recurring acne breakouts, so I am seriously considering acne treatments. In the past, I used to just let it go, assuming it would get better naturally, but recently, red marks and blemishes have been lingering, causing me increasing stress. I am wondering if receiving an acne treatment could help improve my current condition more quickly. I would also like to know if it provides fundamental relief rather than just temporary soothing.

I’ve heard that there are more types of acne treatments than I thought, but I don’t really understand the differences between extraction, laser, and scaling. I’m also curious if there is a specific treatment tailored to my skin condition. I’ve heard that the method varies depending on skin type and the severity of the acne, and I’d like to know if this can be accurately determined through a consultation. I am worried that choosing the wrong treatment might actually make my condition worse.

And the part I am most concerned about is the pain. I am curious about the level of pain involved in the acne treatment and whether it is tolerable, and I would like to know if any pain remains after the procedure. If it is severe enough to interfere with my daily life or going out, I think I need to carefully time the appointment. I am also wondering if there are any methods to reduce the pain or if anesthetic creams are used.

I am also curious whether the acne treatment is a one-time procedure or if multiple sessions are required for the effects to accumulate. If multiple sessions are necessary, I would like to know the typical intervals between them and the overall recovery period. It is also important to know if I can apply makeup or wash my face immediately after the treatment.

Lastly, I have heard that post-procedure care is also important, so I am curious about what specific points I should pay particular attention to. I would also like to know about lifestyle habits and skincare methods to prevent recurrence, and I would like a detailed consultation to see if I can expect improvements in scars or hyperpigmentation after the treatment.
