How much does acne scar treatment cost?
At Abijou, acne scar management is determined after evaluating the type of scar and skin condition. The price for acne scar treatment may vary depending on the treatment area and management plan, so it is difficult to specify a single amount. Since depressed scars, red marks, and pigmentation changes may require different management goals, it is important to distinguish these during consultation.
- Acne scar evaluation considers depressed areas, red marks, and pigmentation changes together.
- The treatment method is reviewed based on the type of scar and the presence of active acne.
- If acne ointment or comedonal acne management is needed, this is discussed separately from scar management.
Acne scars refer to changes in the skin surface or color that remain after acne inflammation.

Acne Scar Treatment Effects and Progress
Assess surface changes in depressed areas to determine management direction.
The expected changes and progress from acne scar management may vary depending on the type of scar and skin condition.
A 1973 study in Pediatr Clin North Am discusses acne vulgaris (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
The course of acne scars may differ depending on the application method, skin response, and persistence of inflammation, so it is difficult to provide a uniform timeline for changes.
Treatment results and recovery may vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. The timeline shown is for general reference only.
