Clearing Acne Scar Marks with Laser Treatment in Nonhyeon

Until a scar remains,

what happens

inside the skin?

When we see people who come in with acne scar concerns in Nonhyeon, there is a common pattern. Rather than the acne itself, they often worry for a longer time and more deeply about the marks left behind afterward.

Red marks may fade over time, but indented or uneven scars in the skin are difficult to leave alone and cannot easily fill in on their own.

Why is that?

\

The dermatological background of scar formation,

starting from the dermis.

When acne becomes severely inflamed,

sebum, bacteria, and inflammatory substances

along the follicle wall spread to the surrounding

dermis and cause damage.

The dermis is the layer where collagen and elastin

are tightly woven together to maintain

skin elasticity. When this area is

damaged, the body tries to

seal it quickly.

The problem is that this process is not always

carried out with precision.

If collagen is produced in excess,

a raised hypertrophic scar forms;

on the other hand, if collagen synthesis

is insufficient, the skin sinks down,

resulting in an atrophic scar.

Among atrophic scars,

there are boxcar (broad, angular shape),

rolling (gently wavy borders),

and ice pick (narrow, deeply pitted) types,

and the depth of dermal damage and the pattern of fibrosis differ by type.

This is why a method that only smooths the skin surface

has difficulty treating scar types

with different underlying causes together.

If multiple scar types are mixed on one face, the approach must also differ

One reason Nonhyeon acne scars are

difficult is that multiple types of

scars are often mixed together on

a single face.

It is common in the clinic to see cases where rolling scars are present on the cheeks,

ice pick scars around the nose,

and boxcar scars along the jawline

at the same time.

In such cases, it is difficult to adequately address every form with just one laser

device, and the treatment method and

depth need to be designed differently

according to the scar type.

CLO scar restoration procedure, a multi-layered approach to complex scars

At Lee Jiham Dermatology,

we apply the CLO scar restoration

procedure to those concerned about

Nonhyeon acne scars.

CLO is a method that combines

Chemical, Laser, and Operational

treatments according to the scar type.

The chemical treatment, CROSS,

involves directly injecting a drug called TCA into the scar area to stimulate dermal fibroblasts

and induce collagen and elastin synthesis.

It is highly useful for narrow and deep

ice pick scars.

For laser treatment,

fractional lasers are used.

By creating thousands of tiny

columns of thermal stimulation in the skin,

they promote collagen production in the dermis,

and a pore-reducing effect can also

be expected.

Surgical treatment consists of subcision and punch techniques.

Subcision is a method that cuts the fibrotic band

pulling the scar tissue downward using a dedicated needle, directly addressing a cause that is difficult to reach with surface laser treatment alone.

In this way, CLO operates treatment methods with different mechanisms of action at the same time, making it especially useful when multiple scar types are scattered together.

Diagnosis comes first, and the treatment plan follows

In addressing Nonhyeon acne scars,

what Lee Jiham Dermatology considers

important is classifying the scar type

before treatment.

Even on the same face, the depth and shape of scars differ by area, so after carefully identifying the distribution and types, we plan which methods to apply and in what order.

In most cases, the CLO scar restoration procedure can be expected to bring positive changes over 3 to 5 sessions, but the interval and composition may vary depending on the individual skin condition.

The time the skin needs to recover after treatment, and why it is important not to rush

After fractional laser or CROSS treatment,

redness and swelling may appear

for a few days.

This is a normal response that occurs as the skin

produces new collagen.

During this period, it is advisable to avoid strong cleansing or exfoliation and focus on moisturizing.

Since exposure to ultraviolet light may cause pigmentation, we recommend consistently using sun protection, and we also advise avoiding environments such as saunas or jjimjilbangs that rapidly raise the skin temperature.

Steadily, without overdoing it, at each person’s own skin pace

Every skin is different.

Even with the same Nonhyeon acne scars, skin thickness, pigmentation response, and recovery speed differ from person to person, which is why individualized diagnosis goes beyond a simple principle and is practically important.

At Lee Jiham Dermatology,

our goal is to create a comfortable face rather than excessive change.

Rather than trying to change too much at once, we believe that a step-by-step approach that matches each person’s skin recovery speed ultimately leads to better results.

With honest care and thorough diagnosis,

we will remain a hospital you can trust

for a long time.
