That's solid advice about checking with insurance first. In my case, insurance didn't cover it so I paid out of pocket, but the clinic where I received my acne treatment offered flexible payment options that made it workable. They were upfront about all costs during the consultation which I really appreciated. Some places also offer package deals if you're doing multiple sessions. Even though it was an investment, I considered it money well spent because of how much it improved both my skin and my confidence. Just make sure you get a clear breakdown of costs before starting anything.
