Acne photographs may show active spots, marks left after breakouts or changes in skin texture. These are different concerns, so begin with the clinic’s description rather than treating every image as an acne-scar result. Scar stories may also describe more than one procedure or appointment. Use those details to understand what was photographed, and compare cases with similar concerns instead of expecting one treatment label to explain every difference.

7 stories and comparisons from 3 clinics. 7 stories are from clinics in Seoul. The case pages identify the provider and the treatment or combination shown.

Look separately at colour and surface texture. Light falling across a cheek can make depressions appear deeper, while brighter frontal lighting can hide them. Check the angle and illumination in both images, then read which treatments were named and whether the comparison follows one appointment or a course.

The before photograph shows red spots across the cheek and forehead. Fewer prominent red spots are visible in the after photograph.

Suitability, risks and recovery are decided by the clinic's doctor at consultation.
