Dangsan-dong Dermatology, Why Secret Laser Is Good for Treating Scars and Stretch Marks

Hello.

I’m Kang In-jeong, Chief Director of The River Dermatology. :)

Scars and stretch marks can go beyond appearance concerns and cause psychological stress as well.

After treatment, skin regeneration takes place and improvement progresses gradually, so the treatment period is long,

and because invasive treatment methods that usually involve downtime are often combined,

a more specialized approach is important.

Today, I’d like to talk about what many people are curious about regarding scar and stretch mark treatment,

and about the 'Secret Laser,' which is effective for treating scars and stretch marks.

Why do scars and stretch marks appear?

Scars and stretch marks both occur due to skin damage, but their causes and mechanisms are different.

Scars form after the skin is damaged by trauma, inflammation, surgery, and similar causes, and the skin goes through a self-repair process.

During this process, they form as collagen is produced in excessive amounts or insufficient amounts.

In particular, acne scars or marks from accidents and surgery can remain deeper and wider as the inflammation becomes more severe.

Stretch marks occur when the skin suddenly stretches and the skin’s elastic fibers tear.

Pregnancy, rapid weight changes, and growth spurts are major causes,

and stretch marks are initially red or purple but gradually turn white over time, so the effectiveness of treatment can vary depending on when it is started.

Because both scars and stretch marks affect the deeper layers of the skin, including the dermis,

surface-level treatment alone makes it difficult to achieve fundamental improvement.

The treatment principle of Secret Laser for scars and stretch marks

[Dangsan-dong Dermatology]

Secret Laser is a cutting-edge device specialized for treating scars and stretch marks,

and it is a minimally invasive procedure that combines micro-needles (MTS) and radiofrequency (RF) technology

to effectively treat deep within the skin.

This device uses high-intensity micro-needles

to deliver radiofrequency energy intensively into the dermis.

The radiofrequency energy creates thermal coagulation points in the dermis, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin,

and as a result, damaged skin regenerates and scars and stretch marks gradually improve.

Because Secret Laser directly stimulates the dermis while minimizing damage to the epidermis,

it is characterized by quick recovery and fewer side effects after the procedure,

and the needle depth can be precisely adjusted according to the skin condition, allowing treatment tailored to each customer’s skin type.

Scar and stretch mark treatment can be effective with Secret Laser alone,

but combining it with additional treatments can lead to even better results.

In particular, skin booster procedures performed together with Secret Laser (Rejuran, Juvelook, skin booster injections, etc.)

play an important role in supporting skin regeneration after Secret Laser treatment and maximizing the treatment effect.

Aftercare following Secret Laser treatment

Secret Laser is a minimally invasive procedure with fewer side effects and relatively quick recovery after treatment,

but for safer and more effective results,

because the skin becomes more sensitive after the procedure, sunscreen must be applied thoroughly,

and sufficient moisturizing care is necessary to support skin regeneration.

Redness or needle marks may appear after the procedure, but these usually disappear naturally within a few days.

However, for people with sensitive skin, they may last longer, so in such cases it is advisable to consult with the medical staff sufficiently.
