Acne Scar Treatment Avengers: The Triple Repair Approach

Hello, I'm Dr. Kang Jin-bun, a dermatologist. While the teenage and twenties are when skin is at its best, many people worry about acne. Acne often accompanies inflammation and can easily leave scars on the skin even after it's gone. Depressed acne scars, in particular, vary in shape and depth, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory results with a single treatment. Therefore, today I will tell you in detail about a combination treatment for effective acne scar improvement, called 'Acne Scar Triple Repair'.

Depressed acne scars occur when acne causes continuous and repeated inflammation in the skin, destroying skin cells. It's easy to think that acne inflammation occurs in the epidermis, but in fact, it occurs deep in the dermis. Also, because it occurs repeatedly, it can cause tissue destruction over a fairly wide area.

Due to these characteristics, treatment tends to be tricky and difficult.

Since depressed acne scars vary in depth and shape, the key to treatment is to stimulate damaged cells to regenerate the skin and fill in the depressed scars to restore the skin to its normal state. To achieve this, combination treatment that appropriately combines laser and procedural treatments, considering the type and depth of the scar, as well as the individual's skin condition and regenerative capacity, is essential.

'Acne Scar Triple Repair' is a combination procedure that combines three treatments known to be excellent for acne scar treatment. In particular, it can be expected to show clear effects even for deep scars within a relatively short period, showing high satisfaction among those who have not achieved satisfactory results with previous acne scar treatments.

Acne Scar Triple Repair applies a combination of the following treatments tailored to various acne scar types:

• Shallow scars: Treated using devices such as the well-known Fraxel laser.
• Deeply depressed scars:
  • High-output laser devices that can produce higher regenerative effects than Fraxel are used.
  • Procedural treatments such as Subcision, which severs the tangled fibrous tissue in the dermis to address the root cause of the scar, are combined.
• Promoting skin regeneration: Applying Rejuran together to further promote skin regeneration can lead to even greater effects.

Acne Scar Triple Repair usually involves 3 to 5 treatments at 2-month intervals, although this may vary depending on the depth and extent of the scar. Compared to powerful lasers and procedures, it offers the significant advantage of expecting a certain level of effect while allowing daily activities such as washing, showering, and makeup from the day after treatment.

However, the following symptoms may appear after the procedure:

• Small scabs or redness from the laser, bruising, and flushing from the procedure may appear for about 2 weeks.
• As the effect is powerful, those sensitive to pain may feel some discomfort. In such cases, it is recommended to apply topical anesthetic cream before treatment.

If depressed scars are accompanied by redness or unevenness, significant and rapid improvement can be expected through V-beam vascular laser treatment.

While the combination of lasers and procedures is important for Acne Scar Triple Repair, the dermatologist's rich treatment experience and know-how can greatly influence the treatment results. Therefore, for satisfactory results, it is crucial to research carefully and make an informed decision.
