GANGNAM HERA
Acne & Inflammation

Skin Regeneration & Boosters

Acne & Inflammation

Acne develops through a chain of excess sebum, clogged pores, bacterial growth, and inflammation, so treatments that only suppress oil or redness tend to let it return.

Procedure time

10~15 minutes

Anesthesia

Topical numbing cream is applied for comfort during the laser.

Lasts

Acne control builds over time; a course of about 4–6 sessions every 2–3 weeks is generally recommended, with maintenance as needed.

Downtime

Minimal

Overview

Description

Acne develops through a chain of excess sebum, clogged pores, bacterial growth, and inflammation, so treatments that only suppress oil or redness tend to let it return. This program addresses the full cycle: NeoBeam, a 1450nm diode laser, calms overactive sebaceous glands and acne bacteria deep in the skin, while exosome therapy delivers regenerative messengers that soothe inflammation, rebuild the barrier, and help prevent post-acne scarring for clearer, more balanced skin.

I recently visited Hera Gangnam for a more intensive lifting treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As someone who had only done basic toning and hair removal before, I was incredibly nervous about trying actual "lifting" lasers, but this clinic put me completely at ease. ​What sets Hera apart is their thoroughness. I had two separate consultations: ​Consultation Manager (상담싀μž₯λ‹˜): She was incredibly kind and helped map out my concerns without being pushy. ​Head Doctor (원μž₯λ‹˜): He provided a deep dive into the technical side, ensuring I understood exactly how the treatments would work for my face shape. ​I focused on two specific areas to tackle my double chin and overall facial contour: ​10Thera Lifting: A game-changer! The procedure was much more comfortable than I expected. It does hurt a lot but apparently not as bad as Ulthera. The staff members and the doctor would check on me the whole time to make sure the treatment is not too awfully painful. ​Sok-Pae Injection (쏙빼주사): Targeted specifically at my double chin area. ​ ​The entire staff is knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly, they actually listen and care for my needs. I’m already seeing a difference (I might need two more sessions in a couple of months) and am definitely coming back for my forehead and jaw Botox next time! ​Highly recommended if you're a "lifting newbie" looking for a trustworthy clinic in Gangnam.

I recently visited Gangnam Hera Clinic for a Titanium Lifting treatment, and the entire experience genuinely exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, immediately putting me at ease the moment I walked in. They explained every part of the procedure clearly and thoroughly, making sure I knew exactly what would happen and how to prepare. Although I’d heard that lifting treatments can be uncomfortable, this one was surprisingly manageable. The doctor checked in with me constantly and even took short breaks to make sure I wasn’t feeling any pain, which I really appreciated. The whole process was smooth, well-organised, and very professional. I could tell they were attentive and meticulous from start to finish. The clinic itself is spotless, modern, and honestly one of the best I’ve visited in Seoul!

πŸ’– Visit to Hera Gangnam Clinic: Absolutely Recommended! I visited the Hera Gangnam Clinic today and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and accommodating everyone wasβ€”from the staff and doctors right up to the boss. I received excellent consultation because I wanted to get lip fillers, and achieving symmetry was especially important to me. The attending physician held a very detailed consultation with me and fulfilled all my wishes perfectly. I am super satisfied with my lips already and can hardly wait to see the final result once the swelling has gone down. I will definitely be back! I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to all foreigners coming to Korea. The entire team speaks several languages, so you don't have to worry about not being understood.πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I recently tried the Rejuran treatment at Gangnam Hera Clinic, and I honestly had such a great experience. Before starting, the doctor carefully explained everything to me and recommended the version of Rejuran that would suit my skin best. I had heard that this treatment can be quite painful, but honestly, it was completely manageable. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming from start to finish. They checked on me throughout the process and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. The follow-up was also really professional, and they made sure I understood how to take care of my skin afterwards. Overall, I really recommend Gangnam Hera Clinic if you’re thinking about getting Rejuran. It was a smooth, reassuring, and positive experience. ✨

This was my second time visiting Gangnam Hera after returning from the States, and once again, I’m so impressed. The staff are friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive. The clinic is exceptionally clean and modern, with a relaxing atmosphere that makes every visit comfortable. The prices are very reasonable, but what truly stands out is the quality of care and the amazing results. It’s a top-quality dermatology clinic that I would absolutely recommend to my friends and anyone looking for trusted, high end skincare in Korea.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions international patients ask us most.

How is this different from taking acne medication?
Rather than only suppressing oil or bacteria temporarily, this program targets overactive sebaceous glands with laser energy and rebuilds the skin with regenerative exosomes, addressing several steps of the acne cycle to reduce recurrence.
Does the laser hurt?
Topical numbing cream and integrated cooling keep discomfort mild. Most patients feel only brief warmth during the pulses.
How many sessions are needed?
Because acne is a recurring, multi-step condition, a course of about 4–6 sessions every 2–3 weeks is generally recommended, adjusted to your skin's response.
Will it help my acne scars?
The combination reduces active inflammation and supports regeneration to help prevent new scarring; for existing depressed scars, your doctor may recommend pairing it with collagen-remodeling treatments.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness or warmth typically settles within about a day, and most people resume daily life right away.
