Jamsil Station Dermatology: Treating Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation and Scars Like This!

Scar Complex Regenerative Treatment

Hello, this is Jamsilon Dermatology at Jamsil Station!

Once acne subsides, it may seem as though your skin concerns are finally gone. But when you look in the mirror, another concern remains. Red marks, dark brown traces that linger over time, enlarged pores, and scars can all continue to appear~ Because of this, many people wonder why their skin looks even dirtier when there is no inflammation left! That is why understanding the process of skin recovery after acne and choosing the right method is where treatment begins.

Characteristics of scars left on the skin

On skin that has gone through acne, several types of marks often appear at the same time. When blood vessels expand during the inflammatory process, red marks remain, and when melanin production increases, brown pigmentation marks follow! Meanwhile, areas where inflammation was deeper can lead to damaged skin tissue, enlarged pores, or pitted scars. Because different causes are intertwined, a customized approach is important.

Also, these marks may fade over time, but repeated irritation from daily UV exposure, friction, or dryness tends to make them last longer. So if they are left untreated, makeup may sit unevenly and the skin texture may look rough, affecting the overall impression! This is why systematic care is needed from the time acne starts to calm down.

Brown acne marks are mainly caused by increased melanin~ Hollywood Spectra is a device that gradually breaks down melanin using flexible, uniform wavelength energy. It helps brighten the skin tone by stably targeting the layer where pigment has settled without causing much irritation! Another advantage is relatively quick recovery after treatment.

PicoPlus uses technology that delivers strong energy in a shorter amount of time, breaking down even tiny pigment particles more precisely than conventional lasers. As a result, it is more effective for stubborn brown marks or mixed pigmentation that combines redness and discoloration. Since both devices directly target melanin, they can be used for cases where the entire face looks dull or where localized pigmentation remains, and they may also help the skin texture look smoother.

So how should red marks be treated? They form when expanded blood vessels remain for a long time, and in this case a completely different approach from melanin treatment is needed. Vbeam Perfecta is a vascular laser that uses a 595nm wavelength and takes advantage of its selective absorption by expanded blood vessels. Because unnecessary heat is not delivered to the surrounding skin, it can be performed stably even on sensitive skin!

When red marks persist for a long time, the skin can look sensitive and makeup does not sit well~ Vbeam helps calm the color by regulating blood flow and shortens recovery by reducing post-inflammatory color changes. In particular, people with recurring acne often accumulate redness, so controlling it at this stage can also reduce the burden of it developing into pigmentation or scars later.

Characteristics of scars left on the skin

When enlarged pores and scars remain together, a method that rebalances the skin structure itself is needed. PicoMLA uses a microlens array to create uniform microstimulation across the dermis, inducing collagen regeneration. It causes little surface damage while addressing deeper layers at the same time, so it helps with complex concerns such as pore size and skin texture improvement!

Potenza directly delivers radiofrequency energy through an invasive tip to reorganize altered scar tissue and promote collagen remodeling. In particular, it can quickly help restore elasticity in areas with enlarged pores or shallow scars, so using the two devices together allows both the surface and deeper layers to be addressed in a balanced way. With consistent treatment, the skin texture becomes more orderly and the overall unevenness tends to lessen.

Characteristics of scars left on the skin

Raised then sunken scars are often caused by firm fibrous tissue beneath the skin. Subcision is a treatment that precisely cuts this fibrous tissue to reduce the pulling force that drags the scar downward. Even after just one treatment, the depth of the indentation begins to ease and the surface starts to look smoother.

If Juvelook is used together with this, the effect connects more naturally. Its PDLLA and hyaluronic acid collagen booster ingredients fill the space created by subcision, helping restore volume immediately, and then promote collagen production so the structure of the scar area becomes more firmly established. A step-by-step approach can also improve deep and long-standing scars, so it helps to make a plan according to your skin condition:)

• Cuts fibrous tissue and induces collagen production

• Removes fibrous tissue that pulls on the scar, easing indentation

• Restores volume by filling the space created after subcision
