Acne treatment
in Busan,
starting with the right problem.

“Acne treatment” can mean three very different things: treating active acne, fading post-acne marks, or improving acne scars and texture. Newline Clinic's current menu includes options such as Potenza, Fraxel, laser toning and CO2, but the treatment should match the actual problem rather than the keyword alone.

Quick answer · Acne treatment Busan

The first step is deciding whether you have active acne, marks or scars.

Active acne means ongoing breakouts or inflammation. Post-acne marks are color changes left after acne. Acne scars are textural changes such as depressions. These can overlap, but they are not the same problem and should not automatically receive the same laser or RF treatment.

Three acne pathways

Choose the path based on what you see now.

1. Active Acne

Ongoing inflammatory or clogged lesions should be assessed as active disease, not treated only as a scar or pigmentation problem.

2. Post-Acne Marks

Brown or red residual marks after acne may point toward pigment or vascular considerations rather than resurfacing alone.

3. Acne Scars

Depressed or uneven texture may lead to comparison of Potenza, Fraxel or other scar-focused approaches based on scar pattern.

Important: do not assume that a single treatment should address active acne, pigmentation and scarring all at once. The sequence of treatment can matter as much as the device.
What can cause acne-related concerns?

Similar-looking problems can need different treatment goals.

Inflammatory lesions

Red, swollen or tender acne should be considered separately from residual scarring.

Clogged pores

Comedonal acne and enlarged pores can overlap visually but are not identical concerns.

Post-inflammatory pigment

Brown marks after acne may be more directly related to pigmentation than surface texture.

Depressed scars

Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick patterns can require different scar strategies or combinations.

Acne questions

Acne treatment Busan
FAQ.

What is the difference between active acne, acne marks and acne scars?
Active acne involves current inflammatory or clogged lesions. Post-acne marks are discoloration left after acne, while acne scars are textural changes such as depressions. These problems may require different treatment paths.
What acne treatments are available at Newline Clinic?
The current Newline international-patient menu includes Potenza N Tip for pores/acne and additional skin-treatment options such as Fraxel, laser toning, CO2, MTS and other skincare procedures. The appropriate treatment depends on whether the concern is active acne, pigmentation or scarring.
Is Potenza good for acne?
Newline's current menu specifically lists Potenza N Tip for pores/acne. Whether it is appropriate depends on the type of acne, presence of scarring and current skin condition.
Is Fraxel good for active acne?
Fraxel is better understood as a resurfacing category for selected texture and acne-scar concerns rather than a universal active-acne treatment. Active inflammation should be assessed separately.
Can laser toning treat acne marks?
Laser toning may be considered when post-inflammatory pigmentation is the main concern, but brown marks, red marks and depressed scars are not the same problem.
Can CO2 laser treat acne scars?
CO2 may be used for selected resurfacing or spot indications, but acne-scar treatment depends on scar type and should not be reduced to one laser choice.
How much is Potenza for acne at Newline?
The supplied August 2026 price list shows Potenza N Tip 1 session for pores/acne at ₩200,000, with the tip included. The source list states VAT is excluded.
Do I need several acne treatments in one visit?
Not necessarily. Combination treatment can be useful in selected cases, but treating active acne, pigmentation and scarring all at once may not be appropriate for every patient.
Can international patients book acne treatment in Busan?
Yes. The clinic information lists Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese consultation support. International patients can contact Newline before traveling to discuss their main concern and available treatment dates.
How should I choose between Potenza and Fraxel?
Potenza is RF microneedling and Fraxel is laser resurfacing. The better option depends on scar pattern, pores, skin condition, downtime tolerance and whether active acne is still present.
