Acne & pore treatments in Gangnam, Seoul
From active breakouts and clogged pores to red marks and pitted scars — a doctor-led plan that treats the stage your skin is in, with options that fit a short stay in Seoul.
How is acne treated at a dermatology clinic?
Clinic acne treatment combines in-office procedures — extraction, medical facials, chemical peels and RF microneedling — with medical home care to clear pores, reduce oil and inflammation, and prevent new breakouts. Once acne is controlled, marks and scars are treated with lasers, peels and collagen-building procedures. Most plans run over several sessions.
At MIN Clinic, a physician first checks your acne type, oiliness, pores and any scarring (AI 3D skin analysis is available), then sequences treatments so active acne is calmed before scars are resurfaced.

Acne and pore treatment questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
What is the best treatment for acne?
It depends on acne type and severity. Mild acne often responds to extraction, peels and topical care, while moderate to severe acne may need medication and procedures such as RF microneedling, guided by a doctor.
Can enlarged pores be shrunk?
Pores cannot be removed, but they can look smaller. Oil control, peels and collagen-building treatments like Potenza tighten the skin around pores.
How soon will my acne improve?
Many people notice less oil and fewer new spots within a few weeks, with clearer skin over a series of 3–6 sessions. Scars take longer and are treated after acne calms down.
Can I treat acne on a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. Extraction facials, peels and many laser sessions have little downtime. Your doctor can plan home care to continue after you fly home.
Do you treat acne scars too?
Yes. See acne scar removal and our scar treatments for rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars.
