Why Do Men Who Come With Their Girlfriend End Up Sitting Down for a Consultation Themselves?

At Gangnam Choice Clinic, we notice something during consultations: men first walk into the room as companions, and only after sitting down do they bring up their own skin concerns. Most often they ask about acne scars on their cheeks, and sometimes about pores and acne marks.

How do men usually start talking in the consultation room?

They say first that they came with her, and that they don't need anything themselves. When it is their turn, they bring up the acne scars on their cheeks.

The situations we see fall roughly into two types:

• They are just here with her and neither look nor ask the whole time
• They say at first that they don't need anything, then end up asking about acne scars

Are there many men who come in for acne scars, pores and acne marks?

Quite a few. It's just that many of them put themselves in the companion category at first.

In consultations at our Gangnam, Seoul clinic, it is not rare for men to ask about pores, acne marks and acne scars. They tend to speak up a little later than women — first they accompany, then they ask.
