For those concerned about pores or acne scars, the first questions that come to mind are "How many sessions do I need?" and "How much does it cost?" When you search online, numbers overflow, but it's not easy to determine whether that information applies to your own skin. Only after directly examining your skin condition can you receive a realistic treatment plan.
Can I Find Out About Pore and Scar Treatment Costs and Sessions Right at the Consultation in Uijeongbu?
Cost and required sessions for pore and scar treatment start with a skin condition diagnosis. Generally, fractional laser treatment from the Fraxel family is based on approximately 3-5 sessions, but since the approach and required sessions vary depending on scar depth, form, and range, it is difficult to apply the same number to everyone.
The same goes for cost. According to clinical data, the cost per laser session varies widely depending on the type of procedure, intensity, and range, and in low-cost event advertisements, post-procedure calming and regeneration management costs are often separate or apply to only certain areas. During consultation, it is important to review not just the 1-session price, but also the overall treatment plan and expected cost structure.
💡 Mini Q&A
Q. Is the event price I saw online the actual treatment cost?
Event advertisement prices may be limited to specific conditions or areas, or additional management costs may be separate. During consultation, confirm the full treatment range and cost structure together.
What Procedures Will I Undergo for Pore and Scar Treatment, and in What Order?
Since pores and scars have different causes, procedure selection also differs. Refer to the table below to first see which type is closest to your skin concern.
Skin Concern Type | Main Cause | Generally Considered Approach | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
Sebaceous Pores Around Nose | Excessive sebum secretion, sebaceous gland dilation | Sebaceous gland inhibition laser, Potenza | Relatively short |
Cheek Elasticity Pores | Loss of elasticity, collagen reduction | Collagen regeneration laser (Fraxel, Picofractional) | Short to moderate |
Shallow Acne Scars | Superficial skin damage | Picofractional, Fraxel | Short to moderate |
Deep Depressed Scars (Box-shaped, Ice Pick-shaped) | Dermal layer damage, fiber adhesion | CO2 Fraxel + Subcision combination | Can be long |
Rolling Scars | Skin and tissue adhesion, loss of elasticity | Subcision + Skin booster combination review | Moderate |
According to clinical data, laser treatment for scar and pore improvement typically shows gradual improvement with repeated procedures at 4-6 week intervals. Picofractional has relatively short downtime and works delicately on residual scars and pigmentation, while CO2 Fraxel acts more strongly on deep scars but can have a longer recovery period. For deep, firmly depressed scars, laser alone may not be sufficient, and subcision combination may be considered.
Since downtime and overall cost structure vary depending on procedure combination and intensity, scar type-specific diagnosis becomes the starting point for treatment planning.
Why REJU CLINIC Provides Cost and Session Guidance Together in Pore and Scar Consultations
In pore and scar treatment, what's more important than the numbers of "how many sessions" or "how much" is whether those numbers are based on your skin condition. Consultation at REJU CLINIC proceeds in the following order:
✔ Stage 1. Skin Condition Diagnosis
We first identify scar depth and form (ice pick, box-shaped, rolling), pore causes (excessive sebum, loss of elasticity), presence of active acne, skin sensitivity level, and more.
✔ Stage 2. Procedure Combination Design
Based on diagnosis results, we design the appropriate method and combination among Fraxel, Picofractional, and Subcision. Rather than simply recommending one procedure, we review the treatment path that matches the root cause of the concern.
✔ Stage 3. Overall Treatment Plan and Cost Guidance
We transparently provide expected procedure sessions, intervals, and overall cost structure. We also honestly explain that event prices and actual treatment range may differ.
✔ Stage 4. Progress Observation and Plan Adjustment
Through a 1:1 dedicated continuous management system, we flexibly adjust sessions and intensity while observing treatment progress. We reduce unnecessary procedures and focus on actual improvement together.
At REJU CLINIC, based on accumulated clinical experience of over 25 years and academic activities as a director of the Korean Society of Dermatologic and Hair Laser, we carefully diagnose pore and scar conditions and then provide guidance on treatment methods and expected sessions and costs. Customized treatment planning reflecting the latest treatment standards is possible thanks to this ongoing research and clinical activity.
Check Your Skin Condition First Before Pore and Scar Treatment
Before starting treatment, first examine your skin condition using the items below. Identifying the type and extent of your concern beforehand makes consultation flow much more efficiently.
• Check scar depth and form
-
Is it a shallow, widely spread scar? (Rolling type)
-
Is it a small, pointy, pitted form? (Ice pick type)
-
Is it a distinct-edged, angular form? (Box type)
• Identify pore causes
-
Do you secrete a lot of sebum in the T-zone like nose and forehead?
-
Do cheeks or cheekbone pores feel large and stretched? (Loss of elasticity)
• Check current skin condition
-
Are active acne still breaking out?
-
Has it been a long time since the scars formed, or are they recent scars?
-
Is your skin sensitive or prone to pigmentation?
According to clinical data, older and deeper scars inevitably require more treatment sessions, and starting appropriate treatment early is important. For deeply depressed areas difficult to improve with laser alone, subcision combination may be considered to release fiber adhesion. Results may differ depending on individual conditions, so it is desirable to make a treatment decision after direct diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pore and Scar Treatment
Q1. Which is better for my pores and scars: Fraxel or Picofractional?
These two procedures have different depths of action and characteristics. Picofractional has relatively short downtime and works delicately on residual scars and pigmentation, while CO2 Fraxel approaches deep scars more strongly. Which method is more suitable should be determined after directly examining the scar depth, form, and skin condition.
Q2. How many laser sessions do I need to see results for pores and scars?
Generally, approximately 3-5 sessions are the standard, but it varies depending on scar depth, age of scar formation, and skin recovery speed. It is common to observe progress after 1-2 sessions and then adjust the subsequent plan, and it is more realistic to take a flexible approach depending on progress rather than confirming the exact number of sessions from the beginning.
Q3. When is subcision necessary?
Subcision is a procedure that releases fiber adhesion between skin tissues in deeply and firmly depressed scars. It is considered for combination with ice pick-shaped scars or some box-shaped scars where laser alone is difficult to improve. During diagnosis, we check scar depth and adhesion degree and then provide guidance on whether it is necessary.
Q4. What about downtime or precautions after treatment?
It depends on the type and intensity of the procedure. Picofractional recovers relatively quickly, while CO2 Fraxel can result in downtime of about 1 week. After treatment, sun protection is essential, and it is important to reduce skin irritation and provide sufficient hydration. Recovery period may differ depending on individual skin conditions, so we recommend receiving sufficient guidance before treatment.
Q5. How does pore and scar consultation proceed at REJU CLINIC in Uijeongbu?
