Clinical Acne Consultation in Gangnam, Seoul
A doctor examines your skin, identifies your acne type and severity, and builds a treatment plan with clear milestones — the starting point for every acne patient.
The Starting Point for Every Acne Journey
Acne isn't one condition — it can range from occasional breakouts to consistent inflamed spots to painful cystic or nodular lesions, and each type responds best to a different approach. Treating acne without first understanding what's driving it often leads to frustration, wasted time, and sometimes scarring.
Your Clinical Acne Consultation begins with a thorough skin examination by a doctor, who identifies your acne type, severity, and likely contributing factors — including hormonal patterns, skincare habits, and any prior treatments you've tried. From there, you'll leave with a clear, written treatment plan and realistic milestones for what to expect.
This consultation is the required first step before any of our other acne treatments, ensuring every plan is matched precisely to your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Accurate acne type & severity assessment
- Personalized, written treatment roadmap
- Available in-clinic or via video for international patients
- No downtime — same-day treatment possible for some patients
Candidates & Safety Information
Good Fit

- Patients already mid-way through an active treatment plan (follow-up visit instead)
- Urgent, severely painful cystic flares (request an urgent visit instead)
- Concerns unrelated to acne (a general skin consultation may suit better)

- Photos tracking your breakouts over recent weeks, if available

Your Consultation & Next Steps
Your doctor reviews your acne history, current skincare routine, medications, and any hormonal or lifestyle factors that may be contributing.
A close visual assessment identifies your acne type — comedonal, inflammatory, cystic, or hormonal — and severity level.
Your doctor recommends one or a combination of our acne treatments, explains the expected timeline, and answers your questions.
You leave with a clear written summary of your plan, including recommended treatments, estimated timeline, and next steps.
Many patients are able to start same-day treatment, such as extraction or laser therapy, immediately following consultation.

Clinical Acne Consultation — FAQ
Do I need this before any other acne treatment?
Yes — this consultation is the required starting point for new acne patients, ensuring your treatment plan is matched to your specific acne type rather than guessed at.

Remote video/written consultations for international patients are free. In-clinic consultations may carry a small assessment fee, which is typically credited toward your treatment if you proceed.
What if my acne changes type over time?
Acne patterns can shift, especially with hormonal changes. Your doctor will reassess and adjust your plan at follow-up visits as needed.
What treatments might be recommended after my consultation?
Depending on your acne type, your doctor may recommend laser & light therapy, extraction & deep cleansing, an oral/topical medication program, or other options tailored to you.
