Acne, Scars & Skin Texture Treatments at Cheongdam JIA

Acne treatment is not only about controlling current breakouts. Many patients also experience persistent redness, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and scars after active acne improves.

Cheongdam JIA Skin Clinic takes a customized approach to treating both active acne and the visible after-effects of acne, with treatment selected according to the patient's specific concerns.

What Skin Concerns Can Be Treated?

Treatment programs may address:

• Active acne
• Acne-prone skin
• Clogged pores
• Excess sebum
• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Red acne marks
• Brown acne pigmentation
• Depressed acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Rough skin
• Uneven skin texture
• Post-acne skin damage
• Loss of skin smoothness

Because these concerns have different causes, the same treatment is not appropriate for every patient.

Active Acne Treatment

Active acne may involve clogged pores, excess oil production, inflammation, or recurring breakouts.

Treatment should first focus on controlling active acne before aggressive scar procedures are considered. Depending on the skin condition, a personalized program may include acne-focused skin care, light-based treatments, lasers, or other dermatologic procedures.

Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scars can remain long after active breakouts have stopped.

Different scar patterns—including rolling scars, boxcar scars, and ice-pick scars—may respond differently to treatment. For this reason, acne scar treatment is often more effective when procedures are selected according to scar type and depth rather than using a single treatment for the entire face.

RF Microneedling for Acne Scars

RF Microneedling combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy delivered into selected skin depths.

Treatments such as Potenza or Secret RF may be considered for depressed acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and collagen remodeling.

Fractional Laser for Acne Scars & Texture

Fractional resurfacing treatments create microscopic treatment zones within the skin to stimulate renewal and collagen remodeling.

Depending on the patient's condition, Fraxel, Fractional CO2, Erbium, or other resurfacing approaches may be considered for acne scars, roughness, pores, and uneven skin texture.

Treatment for Red Acne Marks

Red or pink marks remaining after acne are often different from pigmentation or true acne scars.

When post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) is present, vascular treatments such as V-Beam or Excel V may be considered according to the patient's skin condition.

Treatment for Brown Acne Marks

Brown discoloration following acne is commonly associated with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, treatments such as Pico Laser, Pico Toning, Laser Toning, or other pigmentation-focused procedures may be considered.

Enlarged Pores & Uneven Skin Texture

Visible pores and rough texture may be associated with acne, excess sebum, previous inflammation, collagen loss, or scarring.

Treatment may focus on both the underlying cause and skin remodeling. RF microneedling, fractional laser, resurfacing treatments, and other procedures may be incorporated into a personalized plan.

Why Combination Treatment Matters

A patient can have active acne, red marks, brown pigmentation, enlarged pores, and depressed scars at the same time.

These concerns occur at different levels of the skin and may require different technologies.

Instead of treating every concern with one device, a customized program may combine acne control, vascular laser, pigmentation laser, RF microneedling, and resurfacing treatments in an appropriate sequence.

How Many Acne Scar Treatments Are Needed?

Acne scar and texture improvement is usually gradual.

The number of sessions depends on:

• Scar type and depth
• Severity of acne scarring
• Skin type
• Presence of active acne
• Pigmentation tendency
• Treatment technology
• Treatment intensity
• Individual healing response

Deeper or mixed acne scars often require multiple sessions and combination treatment.

What is the best treatment for acne scars?

There is no single best treatment for every acne scar. Treatment depends on whether scars are rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, superficial, deep, or mixed.

Can acne scars be completely removed?

Acne scar treatments generally aim to improve scar depth and overall texture rather than guarantee complete removal. Results depend on scar severity and individual skin response.

Is RF Microneedling good for acne scars?

RF Microneedling may help improve certain depressed acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture by stimulating collagen remodeling.

Which laser is best for acne scars?

Fractional CO2, Erbium, Fraxel-type resurfacing, and other technologies may be considered depending on scar type, skin tone, downtime, and treatment goals.

How are red acne marks treated?

Red post-acne marks may respond to vascular-focused treatments such as V-Beam or Excel V when appropriate.
