I've been to my derm for a few months and was put on meds to help acne. It was €100 for a session and I had my first one yesterday. Watched YouTube videos and did research and I don’t think it was done correctly. She didn’t do my full face only bottom of cheeks and I didn’t even get spots there or any scaring.
