Papular & Keloid Specialized Treatment
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.

Key facts at a glance
We're here for you
Patient cases this treatment is for. See if your concern fits.
For those concerned about scars from surgery or trauma
Are you bothered by scars left on your skin from various traumas like surgery or accidents? Scars that have turned white or become uneven after the initial stage can be improved with Yonsei Star's customized complex treatment.
For those bothered by scars that are indented or have turned white
Scars that become indented or turn white over time due to pigment cell damage are stressful as they are hard to cover with makeup. We fill the depth of the scar and restore its natural color with various lasers and regenerative injections.
For those who want to improve raised or reddish-black scars
Hypertrophic scars that are raised above the skin or scars with a reddish-black color are not only cosmetically unappealing but can also grow larger with irritation. Early treatment can flatten the scar and improve its color to match the normal skin tone.
For those concerned about scars that indent when smiling or making facial expressions
Do you experience your scar indenting because the scar tissue pulls the skin from within when you make facial expressions? This is due to adhesion underneath the skin. Subcision treatment can release this tethered tissue, improving the natural movement of your skin.
For those concerned about indented scars
Are you worried about your skin being indented after acne, chickenpox, trauma, or surgery? Atrophic scars, caused by a lack of collagen in the dermal layer, are difficult to heal naturally. Professional procedures can fill in the indented areas to restore a smooth skin texture.
For those concerned about scars that have turned white
Are you bothered by a healed wound that looks whiter than the surrounding skin? This is a white scar caused by melanin-producing cells failing to function properly after skin damage. Treatment can soften the scar's borders and improve the color difference.
For those with raised, flesh-like scars
Has a scar from surgery, vaccination, or acne become raised and bumpy as it healed? This is a hypertrophic scar caused by excessive collagen production after skin injury. Early treatment is important as it can grow larger if left untreated.
For those concerned about scars from plastic surgery
Are you stressed about incision scars left from double eyelid, epicanthoplasty, or nose surgery? If suture lines are noticeable or scars persist due to your constitution, laser treatment can make them lighter and more natural-looking.
For those concerned about raised scars after an injury
Has your skin become abnormally raised as a wound from surgery, trauma, or acne healed? If you are stressed and concerned about the appearance of a hard, shiny scar, it can be improved with professional treatment.

FAQ
Common questions patients ask about this treatment.
While some people may feel a slight improvement after just one session, the effects are more noticeable after multiple, repeated treatments.
A complete cure is difficult, but with enough sessions, you can expect significant improvement to the point where others notice and you feel satisfied with the treatment. The number of sessions varies per person, so you can continue until you are satisfied. Generally, severe scars require at least 10 sessions, while less severe ones need at least 5 to see effects.
This is caused by internal adhesion. It can be improved to some extent with subcision, a procedure that releases the scar tissue.
While it may not disappear completely, it can be improved. Since the scar has formed along a frown line, combining scar treatment with Botox is more effective and helps prevent the line from deepening. Filler injections may also be used if necessary.
No, the improved condition will be maintained. In fact, your skin may continue to regenerate and improve for up to a year after the treatment ends.
Light exercise is possible immediately after the treatment. However, we recommend refraining from strenuous exercise for about a week.
Although it's not a surgery, we recommend refraining from alcohol for one week for the best results.
You can shower from the day of the treatment. However, do not rub the treated area harshly and use lukewarm water for a brief shower. Long showers should be avoided as they can cause scabs to fall off prematurely.
No, you don't need to worry. We perform treatments at intervals of at least one month to allow for sufficient recovery. If any issues are anticipated, our doctor will identify them and inform you in advance.
No, the rule is to have a minimum of one month between sessions, not that exactly one month is more effective. So, you don't need to feel pressured about the interval. However, for keloid burn scars, sticking to a one-month interval is more effective.
