Why Acne Scar Treatment Is Difficult

Hardened fibers under the skin
One of the reasons acne scars do not fill in easily is due to the tangled fibrous tissue beneath the skin. During the healing process of inflammation beneath the skin following acne breakout, damaged skin tissue becomes entangled and hardens, forming fibrous tissue. Only by breaking down this tangled fibrous tissue can pitted scars fill in.
Fibrous tissue strongly pulling the skin downward
skin tissue loss
Lost skin surface is difficult to regenerate naturally. Therefore, treatment must be performed to deliver thermal energy deep into the skin to realign damaged tissue and regenerate the skin surface into new tissue.

Then, how should it be treated effectively?

A combination treatment involving various therapies tailored to the scar is necessary.

Breaks down tangled fibrous tissue to enhance skin regeneration
Induces collagen regeneration through effective skin regeneration
Fill in sunken scars to improve volume

At PHD Dermatology, we use various methods to induce appropriate medical skin damage rather than excessive procedures.

Induces collagen regeneration by targeting deep within the skin while minimizing skin irritation.

We provide treatment using powerful regenerative lasers such as PicoFraxel, Potenza RF, and Matrixcell (Erbium), which are effective even for deep acne scars depending on skin thickness, scar shape, and depth.

Needle-free, minimal pain, fast effect CureJet

The CURE-JET nozzle is specially designed with a diameter of approximately 100 µm, and because the stream of medication ejected from the tip is also very thin, it can avoid nerve networks when injected into the skin, resulting in very little pain. Furthermore, there is minimal tissue and cell damage, so post-procedure side effects such as bruising or swelling are very few, and there is almost no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.

STEP 01 Delivers solenoid-type energy to the drug.

STEP 02 When energy reaches the drug, strong pressure is generated.

STEP 03 The drug penetrates the skin through ultra-high-speed micro-spray and reaches the dermis layer.

Selective LIOB generation is possible in the desired skin layer among the three skin layers: epidermis, upper dermis, and lower dermis.

LIOB generation in 3-step skin layers, PicoFraxel (Piccolo Premium)

PicoFraxel is a laser procedure that utilizes the Piccolo Premium equipped with a focus tip to stimulate collagen and elastin formation deep within the skin, helping to improve enlarged pores, acne scars, and skin texture. By forming micro-bubbles deep within the skin rather than on the surface to induce regeneration, it minimizes bleeding and swelling, allowing for a quick return to daily life after the procedure.
Instantaneous high-frequency generation in the dermis!

Potenza RF to regenerate skin through skin cell coagulation

By inserting 13 different micro-needles into the dermis layer of the skin, damage to the epidermis is alleviated, and instantaneous high-frequency RF is generated to deliver thermal energy to the dermis layer. This causes coagulation, enabling skin regeneration and resulting in effects such as collagen production, pore reduction, and improvement of acne scars.

STEP 02) High-frequency energy generation

STEP 03) Formation of Coagulation Zone

2940nm Erbium YAG Matrixcell Laser, Effective for Skin Regeneration

Erbium YAG scar sculpting (shouldering) that trims the angles and smooths the scarred area

Matrixcell is a laser that combines the advantages of the Fraxel method with an Erbium YAG laser. It treats scars and pores by creating micro-holes using a special lens to induce tissue regeneration in the dermis. As a laser capable of delicately shaving skin tissue, it smooths out the angles of indented areas or scarred regions.

Deep boxcar scar

It is difficult to improve depressions by matching the height with the surrounding skin through regeneration because the surface area for skin regeneration is small.

Expand the playback area by adjusting the angle

Using an erbium YAG laser, the skin is precisely ablated and the angles of depressed areas are reduced to expand the regenerative surface area.

Scar injection (skin booster) that fills in new skin and restores elasticity through self-collagen production, rather than just filling scars.

Fill in naturally, just like your own skin! Scar injection (skin booster) that even helps with skin regeneration

Deeply pitted scars are difficult to heal through skin regeneration. The Skin Booster procedure works by injecting biodegradable high-molecular collagen into the dermis layer of these scars, stimulating the production of autologous collagen and inducing direct skin regeneration.

Firm skin from the inside to the surface

Autologous Tissue Regeneration Collagen Booster, Juvelook

Juvelook combines high-molecular-weight PLA and hyaluronic acid to promote self-collagen production. It induces the creation of new, youthful collagen, improving aging skin elasticity, fine lines, and texture. Additionally, due to its biodegradability and bioabsorbability, it acts within the skin and decomposes after a certain period, leaving no residue in the body.
STEP 01
JUVELOOK is injected between the fat tissue and dermis in areas with lost volume and wrinkles.
STEP 02
As the PLA component breaks down, it activates the production of new tissues such as collagen.
STEP 03
The skin restoration effect appears after about 6 weeks.
Promotes rapid tissue regeneration

Salmon injection to regenerate skin through skin cell coagulation

PDRN (Polydeoxynucleotide), a DNA fragment extracted and processed from salmon testes, aids in the rapid healing of wounds and promotes tissue regeneration. Injecting PDRN into the dermis induces the regeneration of skin cells and collagen, allowing you to expect improvements in elasticity and volume restoration, as well as reduction of pores and fine lines, alleviation of pigmentation and facial redness, and regulation of oil-water balance.

The reason acne scars don't heal on their own! It is due to hardened fibrous tissue beneath the skin; stimulating fibroblasts in depressed areas increases collagen synthesis.

Breaking the fibrotic parts inside the scar skin facilitates smoother skin recovery.

New tissue regeneration in the space where the fiber band was severed

Dot Peel promotes the skin's own recovery process

As the name 'DOT' suggests, a chemical called TCA is finely applied in dots to the bottom of the scar to perform partial peeling. This induces a regenerative process, causing the sunken area to fill in.

fibrous bands that pull the scar from the tissue beneath the indented scar

A chemical called TCA is applied to the bottom of the scar to perform a partial peel.

It stimulates the dermis to fill in scars through the skin's natural regeneration process.

Rather than a single treatment, a combination of procedures tailored to the specific characteristics of each scar
Acne scars are classified into various types based on their shape. Since each scar differs not only in appearance but also in the depth of the affected skin layer and the rate of skin regeneration, it is recommended to employ a combination of treatments tailored to individual skin characteristics rather than relying on a single method. At PHD Dermatology, we combine treatment methods based on the specific characteristics of acne scars, which vary in treatment methods and durations.
High therapeutic effect with just a single procedure
By combining laser therapy that induces powerful regeneration with procedural treatments that eliminate the cause of scarring, you can experience high treatment efficacy with acne scars visibly filling in after just a single session.

Precautions After Acne Scar Treatment

We provide guidance on precautions to observe before and after the procedure for effective treatment and satisfactory results.
Light washing, makeup, and showering are possible starting the day after the procedure.
For about a week after the procedure, you should avoid touching, exfoliating, or strong irritation.
It is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking, and using saunas after the procedure.
You need to moisturize by frequently applying moisturizing cream and regenerating cream to help with skin regeneration.
Redness and peeling may occur after the procedure, and the severity may vary depending on the individual.
