K-Acne at a Glance
Nnumber of sessions
The number of sessions needed varies based on the acne types, individual skin conditions and desired results. Usually, 5-10 sessions are recommended, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Downtime
Minimal to no downtime. After treatment, most clients experience mild redness that subsides within a few hours to days.
Unlike more invasive procedures, there’s no need to take days off work or limit activities. Clients are usually free to return to their normal routines immediately after their treatment.
During treatment
You may experience a prickling sensation, but the comfort level can be easily adjusted to suit your personal preference by modifying the treatment settings.
After treatment

Starting the day of treatment, you may wash your face, shower and also resume outdoor activities, provided you wear sunscreen. You may apply makeup 1–2 days after the treatment.
FAQs
How does it work?
K-Acne is a game-changer for active acne because it targets the root causes of acne by delivering deep thermal energy directly into the dermis. Unlike surface treatments, it works in three powerful ways:
Shrinks Oil Glands: The heat targets and partially disables overactive sebaceous (oil) glands. By reducing sebum production, it removes the “fuel” that causes clogged pores and breakouts.
Eliminates Bacteria: The thermal energy creates an environment that neutralizes acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin, helping to clear existing inflammatory acne faster.
Calms Inflammation: It triggers a natural healing response that reduces the redness and swelling associated with cystic acne while stimulating collagen to prevent future scarring.
How long does it take to see results from K-Acne?
The process of the sebaceous glands to be disabled takes approximately 2-8 weeks based on the individual acne types.
How long is the session time?
The session time is approximately 20 minutes excluding any applicable topical numbing time.
What to aviod before K-Acne?
Stop using Tretinoin (Retin A), Retinols, AHAs, BHAs or Vitamin C 1-3 days prior.
Clients are asked to COMPLETELY REMOVE makeup/sunscreen/moisturizer/lotion/essence/serum etc. before each clinic visit.
What are the do's and don'ts after K-Acne?
Do’s
Apply a cold pack for a few minutes as often as possible on the day of treatment.
Apply a physical sunscreen (Zinc Dioxide or Titanium Dioxide) properly during the treatment period.
Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
Don’ts
Avoid any cosmetics containing alcohol, Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, AHAs, or BHAs for 1–3 days.
But, the specific post-laser care instructions depend on the skin issues, subtypes, and laser settings used. So, please follow the specific post-laser care instructions provided after each session in the clinic.
