A 26 year old female patient visited Maylin Cheongdam with concerns about persistent acne, visible post-acne marks, and uneven skin texture. She reported experiencing recurring breakouts for over two years, despite trying various skincare products on her own. Her main goal was to achieve clearer skin and reduce the appearance of acne-related pigmentation.
Initial Assessment
During the consultation, the clinical team observed:
-
Active inflammatory acne on the cheeks and forehead
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Increased oil production
-
Mild skin sensitivity due to previous product use
Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan was developed to address both active acne and the residual effects of previous breakouts.
Treatment Approach
Phase 1: Managing Active Acne
The first stage focused on reducing inflammation and preventing new breakouts.
Key objectives:
-
Control active acne lesions
-
Reduce redness and irritation
-
Support skin barrier recovery
Within the first few weeks, the patient reported fewer new breakouts and improved skin comfort.
Phase 2: Improving Skin Clarity
Once the active acne was largely under control, treatment shifted toward improving overall skin appearance.
Focus areas:
-
Reducing post-acne pigmentation
-
Refining skin texture
-
Supporting healthy skin renewal
Gradual improvements in skin tone and texture became noticeable over the following months.
Phase 3: Maintenance and Long-Term Skin Health
The final phase emphasized maintaining results and minimizing future acne flare-ups through ongoing skin management and follow-up care.

Patient Feedback
