Acne Center in Hongdae | Comprehensive Acne Diagnosis & Treatment | Beautystone Clinic

Acne is more than a cosmetic concern—it is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can lead to permanent scarring, pigmentation, redness, and reduced confidence if left untreated. At the Beautystone Acne Center in Hongdae, our physicians provide personalized acne treatment plans based on the underlying causes of your breakouts rather than simply treating visible pimples. From active acne and hormonal acne to acne scars and post-acne redness, our comprehensive approach combines advanced dermatology technology with medical expertise to help patients achieve healthier, clearer skin.

• Skin type
• Active inflammation

A personalized treatment plan is then created for your specific needs.

Acne Extraction

Professional acne extraction safely removes clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads while minimizing the risk of inflammation and scarring.

Ideal for:

• Oily skin
• Inflammatory acne

Accutane (Isotretinoin)

For moderate to severe acne, physicians may prescribe isotretinoin to reduce excess oil production, prevent clogged pores, and control inflammation through a carefully monitored treatment program.

Vascular Laser

For persistent red acne marks (post-inflammatory erythema), vascular laser treatment targets damaged blood vessels to reduce redness and promote a more even complexion.

Pigment Laser

Pigment lasers improve brown acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) while helping brighten uneven skin tone.

Potenza stimulates collagen remodeling to improve:

• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best treatment for acne?

The best treatment depends on the type and severity of acne. Mild acne may respond to topical medications and professional skincare, while moderate to severe acne may require oral medications, laser treatments, or combination therapy. A physician evaluation helps determine the most appropriate approach.

Can acne be cured permanently?

Many patients achieve long-term remission with appropriate treatment. However, acne is influenced by hormones, genetics, and lifestyle factors, so maintenance skincare or periodic treatments may be recommended to reduce future breakouts.

How long does acne treatment take?

Improvement often begins within several weeks, but meaningful results usually require two to three months. Acne scar treatment typically starts after active acne has been brought under control.

When should acne scars be treated?

The priority is usually to control active acne first. Once inflammation has stabilized, collagen-stimulating procedures such as Potenza, CureJet, Juvelook, or laser resurfacing may be recommended to improve acne scars.

Can acne pigmentation and redness be treated together?

Yes. Many patients have both brown pigmentation (PIH) and red marks (PIE). Beautystone Clinic develops personalized combination treatment plans using pigment lasers, vascular lasers, and regenerative therapies to address both concerns.

Do you treat international patients?

Yes. Beautystone Clinic welcomes international patients and offers personalized consultations to help visitors receive acne care that fits their skin condition, schedule, and treatment goals.
