Different Methods for Acne Treatment Near Sinnonhyeon Station Depending on the Type of Scar

[Dermatology Specialist Lee Yudeuk]

Scars left on the skin,

if you’re worried about them,

this is Easiham Dermatology.

Even after acne subsides, marks or indented traces often remain on the skin, leading to another concern. Many people tell us that after struggling through acne, the scars become even more bothersome.

There are also many cases where people say they are more bothered by the scars because they are not easily covered with makeup and stand out more under bright lighting. Among those who visit for acne treatment near Sinnonhyeon Station, many say, “My acne is better, but the scars are more of a concern.”

Acne scars may seem like a simple surface-level skin issue, but their forms and causes vary, so the approach also differs. I wanted to explain more clearly through this post that you need to first identify the type of scar accurately before deciding on the right direction. If you have been worried about scars for a long time, I hope this article can serve as a small guide.

Understanding the type of scar

determines the approach

In consultations for acne treatment near Sinnonhyeon Station,

when we talk about scars,

many people ask,

“Aren’t all scars the same?”

But acne scars are largely divided into three

types.

The first is atrophic scars.

As skin tissue is damaged, the skin sinks

into a depressed shape, often referred to as

“pitted marks.”

Within this category, they are further divided into ice pick, boxcar,

and rolling types.​

Ice pick scars are deep and narrow depressions,

while boxcar scars are flat and broad sunken areas.

Rolling scars are gently undulating depressions,

a different shape even though they are the same type of atrophic scar.

The second is hypertrophic scars.

This is when collagen is produced in excess and the skin rises

upward in a raised form, meaning a change has occurred in the opposite direction

from atrophic scars.

The third is pigmentary scars, which are cases where red or brown marks

remain at the site where acne once was.

Because each type has a different structure and cause,

the approach also changes.

This is exactly why it is important to first identify

the type of scar.

Knowing the shape of the scar is what makes the method possible

When approaching acne scars,

Easiham Dermatology uses

CLO scar restoration.

CLO scar restoration is a method that

combines chemical treatment,

laser treatment, and surgical treatment.

Unlike a single conventional method, the key point is that it can address

various types of scars at the same time.

It is especially suitable when multiple types of scars are mixed on the same area of skin.

In fact, atrophic scars and pigmentary scars often appear together, and in such cases,

a combined approach is needed rather than a single method.

After sufficiently examining the distribution and depth of the scars,

as well as the condition of the skin, it is important to adjust the proportion

of each method.

Rather than relying on just one method,

a combined approach tailored to the characteristics of each scar

becomes an important standard for determining the direction.

At the first consultation, accurately identifying the type of scar is the start of the entire process,

and the flow afterward also changes depending on that result.

How the three approaches work together

In acne scar treatment near Sinnonhyeon Station,

chemical treatment is also called “CROSS.”

It works by applying TCA to the scar area to stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis,

increasing collagen and elastin synthesis and gradually helping the sunken area fill in.

You can think of it as a process of slowly filling in the foundation in an empty space.

It is especially suitable for deep and narrow scars,

such as ice pick scars.

Laser treatment uses a fractional laser to create thousands of

microscopic holes in the skin and

stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis.

In this process, positive changes in pores can also be expected.

Surgical treatment includes subcision and punch techniques.

Subcision is a method in which fibrotic bands pulling the skin beneath the scar are cut with a special needle,

and it is applied to rolling scars.

Punch techniques involve removing the scar area in a small section and then suturing it,

and they are used for deep scars.

Daily care that should continue along with treatment

Acne scars require consistent lifestyle care both during treatment and after treatment has been completed.

The most important thing is sun protection.

After treatment, the skin becomes more sensitive to pigment stimulation, so exposure to ultraviolet rays can worsen pigmentation.

Using an SPF50+ product carefully before going out can be helpful,

and even indoors, it is good to be cautious if you spend a long time near a window.

Avoid the habit of rubbing your skin hard when washing your face, and using a low-irritation cleanser can help reduce stress on the skin.

Squeezing or touching acne with your hands when breakouts appear worsens inflammation

and can make scars deeper.

Drinking enough water, maintaining regular sleep,

and reducing greasy foods may also help skin recovery.

Thorough cleansing after going বাইরে to remove any remaining irritants on the skin can also help scar care.

When these small lifestyle changes accumulate,

the treatment process can continue more smoothly.

We work together through the process of evening out the skin texture

If you are thinking about acne treatment near Sinnonhyeon Station and scar management together,

the starting point is first looking at the type of scar.

On the cheeks, forehead, and other areas, there are often mixed types of scars.

In such cases, rather than approaching with just one method,

a combined approach suited to each scar’s characteristics is needed.

CLO scar restoration is applied step by step,

with chemical treatment and

laser treatment carried out together.

During treatment, we also look at the positive changes as the skin surface becomes more even in texture.

Rather than saying the scars will disappear completely,

it is important to continue steadily in the direction of gradual improvement in skin condition.

Since the depth and distribution of scars differ from skin to skin,

determining the direction after sufficient evaluation is the most important first step.

Honest treatment, in a direction suited to each person’s skin

Acne scars are also traces that have weighed on the mind for a long time.

If you identify what form those traces take,

and continue to approach them in a suitable direction,

it can lead to a gradual improvement in skin condition.

If you are concerned about acne treatment and scar management near Sinnonhyeon Station,

looking at the type of scar first is the beginning.

Easiham Dermatology considers it important to examine both the diagnosis and the direction that fit each visitor’s skin.

Rather than flashy words, we will look after the skin concerns of those who visit us with honest treatment

and proven methods.

We believe dermatology care is not simply treatment, but a process of gradually making the skin feel more comfortable.
