The short answer

How is acne treated, and what will help you?

Acne treatment controls oil, clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation. A clinic program can include medical extractions, salicylic peels, LED, intralesional injections for painful cysts and, where appropriate, prescription medicine.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the doctor builds a program for your acne type and quotes it in won.
