By concern
How we approach common concerns
For acne, the first goal is to control inflammation, oil and clogged pores and prevent new scars; once breakouts settle, treatment can turn to residual marks and texture. For pigmentation, accurate diagnosis matters because melasma, freckles, sunspots and post-inflammatory marks respond differently; see our pigmentation treatments.
For sagging and contour, the cause is identified first: muscle, fat, volume loss or laxity, each treated differently. See anti-aging and lifting options.
Concerns and typical options
- Acne : medication, extraction, peels, light and laser treatments
- Acne scars : fractional laser, RF microneedling, subcision, boosters
- Pigmentation : laser toning, pigment lasers, peels and topical care
- Redness : vascular lasers and barrier-focused care
- Ageing and contour : lifting devices, Botox, fillers and boosters

Questions we hear every day
Apgujeong Skin Clinic FAQ
Which treatment is best for my skin?
There is no single best treatment for everyone. The right choice depends on your concern, skin type, sensitivity and history. A board-certified dermatologist will examine you and explain the options suited to your skin and schedule.
Why does diagnosis matter for pigmentation?
Melasma, freckles, sunspots and post-inflammatory marks respond differently to lasers and creams. Treating melasma like a sunspot, for example, can make it worse, so an accurate diagnosis comes before choosing a laser or topical plan.
Can I treat acne and acne scars at the same time?
Active acne is usually controlled first, as it can cause new scars and complicate procedures. Some gentle treatments for marks may begin alongside acne care, with more intensive scar work once breakouts settle.
Do you offer lifting without surgery?
Yes. Ultrasound and radiofrequency devices, Botox, fillers and collagen stimulators can improve firmness and contour without surgery. The plan depends on whether sagging comes from laxity, volume loss or both.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Some treatments, such as Botox, are single sessions repeated over months; others, such as lasers for melasma or scars, need a series. Your dermatologist will give a realistic estimate at consultation.
