Acne Treatment in Gangnam Seoul
Dermatologist-led acne care at Cheongdam JCELL
Care for breakouts, inflammation, excess oil, adult and hormonal acne — and the marks and scars acne leaves behind. Planned by a dermatologist around your acne type and your time in Seoul.
In short
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, followed by inflammation and bacterial activity. Hormones, stress, skincare and environment can all contribute — so identifying your acne pattern comes first.
At Cheongdam JCELL Dermatology Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist plans treatment by acne type, severity and location, then addresses post-acne marks and scars. Book in English on WhatsApp: +82-10-9989-4990.
Know your acne type
Each type behaves differently and may need a different approach.
Comedonal
Blackheads and whiteheads from clogged pores, usually with little inflammation.
Inflammatory
Red, tender papules and pustules caused by inflammation around clogged follicles.
Cystic / nodular
Deep, painful lumps that carry a higher risk of scarring — professional care is important.
Hormonal
Often along the jaw and chin in adults, flaring with hormonal changes.

Acne: common questions
Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp — we're happy to help in English.
What is the best treatment for acne?
There is no single best treatment. It depends on acne type, severity, skin type and history — which is why a dermatologist evaluation comes first.
Can a dermatologist treat severe acne?
Yes. Severe inflammatory or cystic acne benefits from professional care to reduce inflammation and the risk of scarring.
Can acne be completely cured?
Acne can often be well controlled, but it may recur. Ongoing skincare and follow-up help keep it under control.
Should I pop my pimples?
It is best not to. Squeezing can push inflammation deeper and increase the risk of marks and scars.
Can adult acne be treated?
Yes. Adult and hormonal acne are common and can be managed with a tailored plan.
Can acne scars be treated at the same time as active acne?
Usually active acne is controlled first; some scar and mark treatments can begin once inflammation settles.
Can international patients receive acne treatment in Seoul?
Yes. Book at Cheongdam JCELL Dermatology Clinic in English via WhatsApp (+82-10-9989-4990).
