Acne treatment at an aesthetic clinic means improving the appearance of acne-prone skin and repairing the marks and scars that acne leaves, using devices, lasers and skin boosters rather than prescription medicines. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the focus is on acne scars, post-acne redness and pigmentation, pore size and overall skin quality.

Yaan Clinic is an aesthetic clinic, not a dermatology clinic. If you have painful, inflamed or cystic breakouts now, please read our medical acne guide first: active acne usually needs diagnosis and prescription treatment from a board-certified dermatologist before scar work begins.

What acne concerns can an aesthetic clinic help with?

An aesthetic clinic like Yaan can help with acne scars, red and brown post-acne marks, enlarged pores, rough texture and congested skin. It does not replace medical treatment for active inflammatory acne.

Concern What it is Main options at Yaan Clinic
Atrophic acne scars (rolling, boxcar) Depressions from lost collagen Potenza RF microneedling, Juvelook Skin Booster
Red acne marks Lingering redness (post-inflammatory erythema) V laser within Personal Brightening

Enlarged pores, oily skin Stretched or congested pores Potenza pore tip, HydraFacial
Congested, acne-prone skin Blackheads, whiteheads, dullness HydraFacial with LED, LDM

How does Yaan Clinic treat acne scars?

For depressed acne scars, Yaan Clinic mainly uses Potenza RF microneedling to remodel collagen, often combined with Juvelook Skin Booster to rebuild skin quality from within. LDM Recovery Therapy follows to calm the skin.

Potenza delivers radiofrequency energy through fine needles at 0.5–4.0 mm, so scars at different depths can be treated in one session. Yaan uses single-use, genuine tips and KFDA-approved devices. Its pumping tip can push a booster into the skin during treatment.

Juvelook Skin Booster is a PLA and hyaluronic acid injectable that stimulates the skin's own collagen; Yaan lists acne scars as a main target. Yaan's Potenza Pumping x Juvelook combination is offered as a three-session package. Yaan is a Juvelook Meister Key Doctor clinic. Learn more on Juvelook and in our acne scar treatment guide.

How are red and brown acne marks treated?

Red marks respond best to a vascular laser, and brown marks to a pigment laser. At Yaan Clinic, the V laser targets redness and the Pico laser targets brown pigment, often combined in the Personal Brightening program.

The V laser uses 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths to target hemoglobin, gently heating skin to 40–43°C with sapphire cooling. The PicoPlus laser has four wavelengths (1064, 532, 595 and 660 nm) for pigment. Yaan's Personal Brightening combines both with LDM, and you can return to daily activities immediately. Brown marks alone may be treated with pico toning.

What helps acne-prone, congested skin and large pores?

For congested skin, HydraFacial cleanses and extracts pores gently, and blue LED can be added. For enlarged pores, Potenza with pore tips remodels the skin around the pore.

HydraFacial at Yaan takes 20–30 minutes and is recommended every two weeks to one month. It suits sensitive skin and has typically no downtime. Potenza pore tips target oily, pore-prone areas more deeply.

What is LDM and why is it used for acne-prone skin?

LDM is a high-density, dual-frequency ultrasound treatment that Yaan Clinic uses as recovery care after procedures. It is applied to calm heat and redness, hydrate the skin and support healing.

For acne-prone and sensitive skin, recovery matters as much as the main treatment, because irritation can trigger new breakouts or marks. Yaan uses LDM Recovery Therapy, which it describes as exclusive post-care, after Potenza with a Yaan-formulated topical solution, and as part of Personal Brightening and HydraFacial. See LDM treatment.

Aesthetic acne care vs medical acne treatment: which do I need?

If you have frequent inflamed, painful or cystic breakouts, you need medical treatment first. If your acne is mostly under control and you are left with scars, marks or pores, aesthetic treatment is the next step.

Medical acne treatment Aesthetic care at Yaan Clinic
Who provides it Board-certified dermatologist Yaan's physicians and skincare team
Goal Stop active acne, prevent new lesions Improve scars, marks, pores and texture
Typical tools Topical and oral prescriptions, hormonal therapy Potenza, lasers, Juvelook, HydraFacial, LDM
When While acne is active Once acne is controlled, or for mild congestion

Good to know: If you are taking or recently took isotretinoin, tell your doctor; RF microneedling and some lasers may need to be delayed. Acne scars usually improve with a course of treatment but rarely disappear completely. For cystic or hormonal acne, see our guides on cystic acne and hormonal acne.

Frequently asked questions

Does Yaan Clinic treat active acne?

Yaan Clinic is an aesthetic clinic. It offers treatments that help acne-prone skin, such as HydraFacial with LED and LDM, but moderate to severe active acne needs diagnosis and prescription treatment from a board-certified dermatologist. Yaan focuses on scars, marks, pores and skin quality.

What is the best treatment for acne scars at Yaan Clinic?

For depressed acne scars, Yaan mainly uses Potenza RF microneedling, often combined with Juvelook Skin Booster in a three-session package. The right plan depends on scar type and depth, which your doctor assesses with 3D Meta-Vu skin analysis.

How are red acne marks different from brown acne marks?

Red marks are lingering redness from inflammation and respond to vascular lasers like the V laser. Brown marks are post-inflammatory pigmentation and respond to pigment lasers such as PicoPlus. Yaan's Personal Brightening program can treat both together.

How many sessions does acne scar treatment take?

Acne scars usually need a course of treatments because collagen rebuilds gradually. Yaan offers Potenza Pumping with Juvelook as a three-session package. Your doctor will suggest a plan based on your scars and how your skin responds.

Can I have acne scar treatment while on isotretinoin?

Tell your doctor if you are taking or recently stopped isotretinoin. Procedures such as RF microneedling and some lasers are often delayed during and after this medication. Your doctor will advise on safe timing.

Is HydraFacial good for acne-prone skin?

HydraFacial gently cleanses and extracts pores and can be combined with blue LED, which is often used for acne-prone skin. It helps congestion and dullness but does not treat moderate or severe acne, which needs medical care.

How much does acne scar treatment cost at Yaan Clinic?

At Yaan Clinic, acne scar combinations cost ₩400,000 (Pico Fraxel + Rejuran S 1cc + LDM), ₩890,000 (adding Juvelook Skin Booster) or ₩990,000 (Potenza Pumping + Juvelook + Rejuran S + LDM).
