Understanding Korean Acne Treatment

  • Glycolic for surface renewal
  • TCA for deeper peeling

AGNES RF

  • Targets sebaceous glands
  • Destroys oil-producing glands
  • Permanent reduction in treated areas
  • Developed in Korea

Laser Treatments

  • Fractional lasers for scarring
  • Vascular lasers for redness
  • Carbon laser peel for oil control

Prescription Treatments

Isotretinoin (Korean Approach)

Korean dermatologists often use lower doses for longer periods, reducing side effects while maintaining effectiveness.

Topical Prescription

Access to prescription-strength retinoids, antibiotics, and combination products.
