Scar

An injection treatment for keloid and hypertrophic scars using medications such as triamcinolone to suppress overgrown collagen and ease inflammation. Because keloids tend to recur, we do not perform the injection on its own — it is always combined with a vascular laser (such as V-beam) that selectively targets dilated vessels. Rather than aiming for a complete cure, the goal is to relieve symptoms and lower the recurrence rate, typically with at least 10 sessions about one month apart. Drug concentration and injection depth are adjusted to each scar's size, firmness and timing.

A program that treats scars by selecting the optimal laser according to their various characteristics (color, depth, shape). 'PicoWay Toning' improves dark pigmented scars that occur after procedures. Vascular lasers like 'V-beam' are effective for red scars. 'Dual Fraxel' improves both atrophic scars and skin texture simultaneously with two wavelengths. Various fractional lasers like 'UltraPulse', 'Starlux', and 'ProFractional' induce skin regeneration to fill in depressed scars. After a precise diagnosis of the scar condition, we use one or a combination of lasers to achieve the best results.

A procedure for deep, adherent scars that are difficult to improve with lasers alone. 'Subcision' uses a special needle to break the fibrous bands pulling the scar down from underneath, raising the depressed area. 'Non-sutured Punch Excision' involves punching out a deep scar and allowing the skin to heal and fill in on its own without sutures. 'DOTATATE (TCA)' involves applying a chemical peel solution in dots to the base of the scar to induce new tissue growth. These procedures are applied alone or in combination, depending on the scar's shape and depth, to maximize effectiveness.

A program that maximizes treatment effects for mixed types of scars by combining laser therapy with surgical scar revision (e.g., subcision). After first resolving deep adhesions with subcision, fractional lasers like UltraPulse, Starlux, or ProFractional are used to promote surface skin regeneration and fill in depressed areas. This step-by-step approach, from the root cause to the surface texture, yields more satisfactory improvement. It is particularly effective for treating complex scars in specific areas like columellar scars or scars from double eyelid surgery/epicanthoplasty.

The signature treatment of Yonsei Star Dermatology. Using the UltraPulse Alpha laser, we create dense micro-channels that reach the tightly tangled, hardened collagen from the surface of the skin all the way down into the deep dermis, rearranging the tissue to induce layer-by-layer regeneration.

A specialized treatment program for intractable scars with characteristics different from common scars. 'Papular scars', which are bumpy scars raised after acne on the nose or chin, are precisely ablated with a laser to make them smooth. 'Ear keloids' are difficult to treat due to frequent recurrence; 'Ultra Excision' precisely removes the keloid with a laser and combines it with treatments to suppress recurrence. For hypertrophic scars, a combination therapy is performed, using an 'Ultra CO2 laser' to ablate the scar and a 'scar injection (TA)' to flatten the raised tissue.

A foundational first-step program to enhance the effectiveness of acne scar treatment. The core of 'Triple Repair' is the combination of 'Subcision' and 'Cryo' therapy. First, subcision is performed to break the fibrous bands pulling the scar down from within the skin, releasing the adhesion. Then, cryotherapy is used to soothe the treated area, minimize bruising and swelling, and aid in skin regeneration. This step maximizes the effects of subsequent laser treatments. The procedure is available for specific areas such as one cheek, both cheeks, both cheeks + temples, or the full face.

A premium customized package for the comprehensive improvement of various types of acne scars. We precisely diagnose the patient's scar type, depth, and skin condition to combine the most optimal procedures. 'Potenza/UltraPulse Alpha' induces deep scar regeneration with microneedle RF and a powerful laser. 'StarLux XD/Dual Fraxel/ProFractional' improves skin texture and scars simultaneously with a precise laser combination. 'Subcision/Cell Regeneration Injection' releases adhesions and injects regenerative substances to promote recovery. 'TCA/Non-sutured Punch Excision' effectively fills in deep scars. Customized plans are available for areas like one cheek, both cheeks, or the full face.
