Often a good fit for

  • Long-standing scars or pores
  • Able to follow a multi-session plan

Treatment may be limited or need discussion if

  • Pregnancy
  • Severe active acne (treat first)

Still deciding?

Acne treatment calms current inflammation and oil, while pore and scar treatment regenerates the marks left behind. If acne is active it is usually treated first, then scars. See the full comparison: Pore & Acne Scar Treatment vs Acne & Oil Control.
