What is actually happening
A medical condition, not a cosmetic one. It involves sebum, keratin, bacteria and inflammation, and it belongs with a dermatologist before an aesthetician.

Which one is right
The table is ordered by how invasive each option is, not by how well it works. A clinic that proposes the bottom of the list before examining you has skipped the step that matters. Ask why that option and not the one above it.
