Are you visiting Seoul and looking for an effective treatment for oily skin, enlarged pores, or recurring acne?
Korean skin clinics offer a wide range of customized treatments for excess sebum, acne, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. The right procedure depends on your skin condition, medical history, expected downtime, and how long you plan to stay in Korea.
At Forena Clinic, we provide English-speaking consultations for international patients seeking personalized skin treatments in Seoul.
Why Is My Skin Oily?
Oily skin is caused by increased sebum production from the sebaceous glands. Excess sebum may mix with dead skin cells, makeup, sunscreen, and pollution, leading to:
Facial shine
Enlarged pores
Blackheads and whiteheads
Recurring acne
Uneven skin texture
Post-acne redness and pigmentation
A daily skincare routine is important, but professional treatment may be helpful when oiliness and acne continue despite consistent home care.
1. Gold PTT + Genesis Laser
For excess oil, acne, pores, and redness
Gold PTT is a photothermal treatment that uses microscopic gold particles and laser energy to target overactive sebaceous glands. It may help manage excess sebum, recurring acne, and the appearance of enlarged pores.
Genesis Laser may be performed as part of the same treatment plan to help improve redness, pores, uneven texture, and overall skin clarity.
Potential benefits include:
Sebum-control support
Improvement in recurring acne
Reduced appearance of enlarged pores
Less visible post-acne redness
Smoother-looking skin
Gold PTT + Genesis may be suitable for international visitors who want to address both active acne and overall skin appearance. The number of recommended sessions varies according to each patient’s skin condition.
2. Baby Botox
For temporary oil and pore control
Baby Botox, also known as intradermal Botox or micro-Botox, uses small amounts of botulinum toxin in the superficial layers of the skin.
It may temporarily reduce the appearance of facial oiliness and enlarged pores. Results vary according to dosage, injection technique, and individual skin condition.
Baby Botox may be considered for:
Excessive facial shine
Visible pores
Rough-looking skin texture
A smoother skin appearance
Baby Botox is not a permanent treatment for oily skin and does not directly treat deep acne scars. A medical consultation is required to determine whether it is suitable for you.
3. Juvelook Skin
For pores, texture, and shallow acne scars
Juvelook is an injectable skin treatment containing PDLLA and hyaluronic acid. It is designed to support collagen production and improve overall skin quality.
Juvelook does not primarily reduce sebum production. It may be more suitable for oily skin accompanied by:
Enlarged pores
Rough texture
Fine lines
Shallow acne scars
Early loss of skin firmness
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or injection marks may occur after treatment.
4. Potenza RF Microneedling
For enlarged pores and acne scars
Potenza combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Fine needles create controlled micro-injuries while RF energy is delivered into the dermis to support collagen remodeling.
Potenza is commonly used to improve:
Enlarged pores
Acne scars
Rough skin texture
Uneven skin quality
Mild skin laxity
Potenza is not a primary sebum-reducing treatment. It is mainly used for pores, scars, collagen support, and skin texture. Temporary redness, swelling, dryness, or sensitivity may occur after treatment.
At-Home Care Before and After Treatment
Your daily routine helps maintain your results between clinic visits.
Morning
Use a gentle cleanser.
Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer.
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Evening
Remove makeup and sunscreen.
Cleanse gently.
Use one targeted ingredient, such as salicylic acid or a retinoid, if suitable.
Apply moisturizer.
Avoid harsh scrubs, excessive washing, and using several active ingredients at the same time. If you are visiting Seoul for a short trip, avoid introducing new skincare products immediately before your appointment.
After treatment, follow the clinic’s instructions regarding makeup, exercise, alcohol, exfoliation, and sun exposure.
