Understanding Acne & scar care
We offer acne care and scar-focused treatments, including UltraClear and Air Shine. Acne scars are a key focus of our scar care. Your physician will assess the type of scar and your skin before discussing a suitable approach.
Active acne, marks, and scars need different plans
A flat area of discoloration after acne is not necessarily a scar. Depressed scars and raised scars also differ. The AAD explains that scar treatment should be tailored to the type of scar, skin tone, and other individual factors. Treating active acne is commonly part of preventing further scarring.
Our acne and scar care includes UltraClear and Air Shine. Your physician will first assess your skin and scar type, then explain which approach may suit you and why.
Who should discuss this option—and when to pause
Show the clinician the areas that concern you most and explain what improvement would matter in everyday life. Ask them to distinguish colour, depth, texture, and active inflammation. That helps prevent a plan aimed at one problem from being mistaken for a solution to another.
Bring a history of acne medications and procedures, including current or recent prescription treatment. Discuss picking, previous wound-healing problems, and any tendency to raised scars. Ask whether active acne should be addressed before a cosmetic scar procedure.
What to discuss at consultation
Is active acne under control? What kind of scars do I have, and which changes are realistic?
- Your goals, prior procedures, medications, allergies, and relevant health conditions.
- Expected benefit, limitations, alternatives, and whether no treatment is the better choice.
- The clinician performing treatment, the exact device or product, and the full written price.
A closer look at the appointment
The consultation should identify the type and distribution of scars, then explain whether a single treatment or a sequence is proposed. Ask which steps are performed at NOWMEDI, who will perform them, and which would need to happen during a later visit.
If multiple approaches are discussed, ask for separate explanations of their aims and risks. Do not assume all techniques described in a general scar-treatment article are offered by this clinic.
Recovery & planning your trip
A course of treatment may extend beyond one visit. Ask how a plan can continue after returning to Singapore.
Recovery varies with the treatment, settings, area, and individual response. Confirm your review appointment and return-flight timing with the treating physician. Ask for written aftercare instructions and a contact plan before leaving Jeju.
Results, timing, and realistic expectations
A realistic endpoint may be softer transitions or less noticeable texture rather than scar removal. Ask how photographs will be taken consistently and at what interval change will be judged. A treatment course may be measured across multiple visits rather than one holiday.
Plan how acne management and scar follow-up will continue at home. Ask for a record of procedures and products so a clinician in Singapore can understand the treatment history. Avoid purchasing a long package until its timing is practical for you.
AN INFORMED DECISION
Risks & considerations
Ask about irritation, pigment changes, infection, scar worsening, and the specific risks of the proposed procedure. A scar may improve without disappearing.
No aesthetic treatment is risk-free. These questions and examples are not a complete contraindication or risk list. Your clinician must explain the details of your proposed treatment.
Cost & what is included
Request a current VAT-inclusive quote. Confirm the treatment area, product or device, quantity or settings, anesthesia if needed, review visits, and any extra charges. No fixed package price is presented here because a current confirmed quote is needed.

These are discussion points, not a recommendation or a claim that every alternative is available at NOWMEDI.
| Option or concern | What to discuss |
|---|---|
| Active breakouts | Discuss controlling inflammation and preventing new lesions. |
| Flat post-acne marks | Ask whether pigmentation or redness is the main issue rather than a scar. |
| Depressed or raised scars | Ask for scar-specific assessment; the same procedure may not suit both. |
Common questions
Can I choose this treatment before I arrive?+
You can ask about it in advance, but a final recommendation depends on clinical assessment. Availability does not establish that a treatment is right for you.
Will the treatment be the same as in Singapore?+
Not necessarily. Products, permitted uses, and clinical practice can differ by country. Ask your physician about the exact product, its intended use, and its authorization in Korea and the United States.
Can I combine it with another procedure?+
Ask the treating doctor about sequencing, cumulative risks, and recovery. Do not assume combining procedures is appropriate for a short visit.
More questions about this treatment
Will one laser session remove all acne scars?
That is not a realistic universal promise. Ask what improvement is possible for your scar pattern and whether a staged course is recommended.
Why might the clinic treat acne before scars?
Ongoing breakouts can create additional damage. Ask whether controlling active acne should be the first priority for your skin.
Can burn or surgical scars use the same plan?
Not automatically. The clinic lists other scar care, but cause, age, location, and scar characteristics need assessment.
