세부 시술

Pinhole Alpha

The most powerful treatment for scars with severe contracture or adhesion that are difficult to treat with the Mild Pinhole Method, using the UltraPulse Alpha laser to activate skin regeneration. As a treatment for intractable scars it does require recovery time, and a long-term plan of roughly 6 months to 1 year is needed.
