How do Korean clinics treat acne scars?

At Beauty Z Clinic Myeongdong, a doctor first checks the scars and pores, then plans Potenza radiofrequency microneedling (U.S. FDA 510(k) K192545) for acne scars and enlarged pores, or Pico Fractional with the PicoHi picosecond laser for bumpy texture after acne. Each usually takes 3 to 5 sessions about a month apart.
