Treatment Introduction

This is a representative procedure for acne scar treatment, where fibrous bands that pull down the scar tissue beneath the skin are released using a special needle or cannula.

Treatment Principle

Principle of the Procedure

By severing the fibrotic bands that pull the skin downward beneath depressed scars and separating the skin adhesions, the compressed skin rises and the scar becomes more even. At the same time, collagen production is stimulated, gradually filling in the scar over 2 to 3 months.

Procedure Process

Step 1 | The type and depth of the scar are assessed to determine the appropriate treatment method. Step 2 | Special needles or air are used to break the fibrous bands beneath the scar, separating adhesions. Step 3 | Over the next 2–3 months, collagen regenerates and the scar gradually improves.

Expected Effects

You can experience immediate improvement in depressed scars with just one treatment. Over the next 2 to 3 months, collagen regenerates and the scars gradually improve.

Recommended For

For those with round and wide rolling scars

For those concerned about chickenpox scars or deep acne scars

For those who did not see sufficient improvement with laser procedures alone

For those who want immediate scar improvement with a single procedure
