If taking acne medication, should it be stopped?
Inform the medical staff of the medication name and duration, but do not stop it arbitrarily. The plan should be adjusted depending on the type of procedure and skin condition. It is also recommended to inform the timing of medications taken in the past so that necessary checks can be carried out.
If the cheeks have scars and the chin has inflammation?
Do not consider the entire face as the same condition. Consult whether it is possible to divide treatment by area or to stagger the start time. Rather than focusing on the total number of sessions in the full package, it is useful to check changes in each treatment area and how to respond if conditions worsen.
Will getting scar laser treatment also end acne?
The process for improving scars does not automatically treat the cause of new acne. Check the medications and care plan used at home together. If new lesions appear after treatment, they should be recorded separately from the response of existing scars.
What photos are helpful for consultation?
Prepare not only side-lit photos that clearly show scars but also photos from periods when recent inflammation occurred. Differentiating between the worst time and the current state makes it easier to set realistic treatment goals. Photos with filters can alter the actual redness and indentation.
