Acne scars left on the face in the mirror can weigh heavily on one's mind long after the acne has subsided. The most common question we hear is, "Can a depressed scar be refilled?" The conclusion, to begin with, is that improvement is reported when various treatments are combined to match the shape and depth of the scar.
Winter is a good season to focus on recovery after scar treatment, as UV radiation is weaker and outdoor activities decrease. Therefore, more people are looking to seriously address their acne scar concerns that they had put off.
Why Acne Scars Cannot Be Treated with a Single Method
The most significant characteristic of acne scars is that their shape and depth vary even on a single person's face. It is common to have a mix of narrow, deep indentations, wide, gently sunken marks, and rough, uneven surface marks all at once.
In the examination room, it is more common to see tissue deformation extending deep into the dermis rather than just on the skin surface. Since treating only the surface leaves the deep-seated cause untouched, it is necessary to approach treatment by dividing it according to the nature of the scar.
When multiple types of scars are mixed on one face, a complex approach tailored to the scar's characteristics is more rational than a single treatment.
Acne Scar Triple Repair Plus: A Three-Pronged Approach
Acne Scar Triple Repair at Yonsei Star Dermatology Sinchon is a treatment composed of laser therapy, procedural methods, and cell regeneration injections to address scars both superficially and deeply.
Each stage targets a different layer of the scar.
- Laser irradiation on the skin surface induces broad and uniform regeneration.
- Severing tangled fibrous tissue in the dermis addresses the root cause of the scar.
- Injecting tissue regeneration substances helps restore damaged skin tissue.
Because these three steps flow together, the characteristic of this treatment is that it can address both the surface texture and the deep structure simultaneously.
Laser Treatment: A Stage to Induce Surface Regeneration
In the laser stage, lasers used for skin regeneration, such as Ultrapulse Encore and StarLux XD, are employed. They play a role in tidying up damaged tissue on the surface and stimulating new tissue to fill in.
Especially for deep and wide depressed acne scars, surface treatment alone has limitations, and it is reported that the range of results changes when approached with subsequent procedural methods.
If you have any questions, you can easily ask them through Acne Scar Treatment Chat Consultation.
Procedural Methods: A Stage to Sever the Root of the Scar
The cause of deep scars usually lies in fibrotic bands pulling the tissue beneath the skin. Procedural methods directly address this part.
Subcision is a procedure that induces regeneration by severing the tangled fibrotic tissue beneath the scar with a special medical needle, approaching the root cause of the scar.
Suture-Free Punch involves incising the skin with a punch, lifting the depressed scar, and fixing it with a special medication. The skin regenerates at the fixed site, leading to scar improvement.
| Procedure | Area Treated | Main Role |
|---|---|---|
| Subcision | Fibrotic tissue in the dermis | Severing bands that pull the scar |
| Suture-Free Punch | Depressed single scar | Lifting and fixing sunken marks |
| Laser | Skin surface | Inducing uniform regeneration of the surface |
Cell Regeneration Injection: The Final Stage to Aid Recovery
In the final stage, Rejuran Healer is utilized. This stage involves injecting tissue regeneration substances into the dermal layer of the skin to restore damaged skin tissue and promote collagen formation, which can help with the thickness of the epidermis and dermis, as well as overall elasticity and regeneration.
As the flow of refining the surface with a laser, severing the root with procedural methods, and filling with regeneration through injections continues, cases of noticing changes even after a single treatment are reported. Since the distribution and depth of scars vary from person to person, the treatment composition and number of sessions are adjusted individually, similar to Premium Customized Acne Scar Care.
Before and After Treatment: Keep These Points in Mind
Knowing the following points in advance before treatment can make the recovery process much more comfortable.
- Temporary swelling or redness may appear depending on individual characteristics.
- Scabs or dead skin cells may form on the treated area; do not forcibly remove them.
- It is advisable to pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection during the recovery period.
- The number and composition of treatments may vary depending on the shape and depth of the scar.
- The decision on whether and how to proceed should be made after sufficient consultation with the medical staff.
