FAQ
Acne and Acne Scar Treatments

Are there any over-the-counter medications that are effective for acne?

Over-the-counter acne treatments may be effective for mild acne. However, depending on the severity of your symptoms, it’s recommended to consult a doctor. In cases where OTC medications are not effective or acne has worsened, professional medical treatment is necessary.

Can acne scars heal naturally on their own?

It is difficult to heal acne scars on your own. In particular, depressed (atrophic) scars are caused by damage to the dermal layer, which cannot be repaired easily through the skin’s natural turnover. Cosmetic dermatology treatments can effectively address scars that would not heal naturally.

What treatments are effective for acne scars?

Treatment depends on the type of scar. Subcision or POTENZA works well for depressed scars, while redness and pigmentation respond to laser therapy or chemical peels. During a consultation, a doctor will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment.

What treatments are available for acne itself?

Acne treatment options vary depending on the severity. Common approaches include oral medications, topical treatments, and stem cell-derived exosome IV therapy. A doctor will suggest the best option based on your specific condition and concerns.

Will I see results after just one acne treatment session?

Some patients may see results after just one session, but repeated treatments are usually recommended for optimal and long-lasting effects.
