Hello, this is Dr. Yuchan Yoo from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic Daegu branch, specializing in scar removal.
Today, I would like to honestly and thoroughly discuss the pain associated with Coratherapy, a topic many people are curious about.
Since 2006, Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic has been researching and performing Coratherapy,
and I will candidly share everything about the pain related to this treatment.
Does Coratherapy really hurt?
Coratherapy is a treatment method that uses fine needles on scarred areas to stimulate collagen regeneration.
Since the tissue of the scar itself is hardened and fibrotic, there may be a slight pain when the needle penetrates.
Patients who have undergone Coratherapy often describe the pain
as less severe than treatments known for their pain, such as Rejuran or Ulthera,
and more akin to the pain of acne extraction.
Therefore, it is a procedure that even children can undergo.
Additionally, the level of pain varies depending on the area.
The outer areas of the face tend to be less painful,
while thinner skin is more sensitive to pain.
Thus, the level of pain increases in the following order: cheeks, temples, forehead, glabella, nasolabial folds, nose, and philtrum.
However, for areas like the nose and philtrum, while they may be more painful,
the treatment time is short due to the small area,
making it manageable according to many patients.
Comparison of pain with other treatments
How does the pain of Coratherapy compare to other dermatological treatments?
When compared to treatments like Fraxel laser or MTS,
many patients feel that Coratherapy has a similar or slightly lower pain level.
Of course, this can vary depending on individual pain sensitivity,
and it is more painful than treatments like toning lasers, which have almost no pain.
However, it is still a tolerable level of pain.
Additionally, with repeated Coratherapy sessions,
the scar tissue softens, and the pain tends to decrease.
While changes in pain levels may vary depending on individual skin conditions,
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic carefully checks the patient’s condition during each session,
monitors the level of pain, and adjusts the intensity of the treatment
to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Coratherapy is not just a simple scar-piercing procedure.
It promotes the regeneration of new skin through the skin’s natural healing ability,
making it highly effective for treating acne scars.
However, even with the same treatment name, the results can vary greatly depending on where you receive it.
Therefore, if you are struggling with scars, it is crucial to undergo an accurate diagnosis
and receive customized treatment that considers your skin type, scar characteristics, and lifestyle.
Choosing experienced medical professionals is of utmost importance.
Since 2006, Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic has been providing Coratherapy treatments
and has treated over 90,000 patients to date.
Our goal is not only to treat physical scars but also to heal the emotional wounds they leave behind.
Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic is always committed to doing our best.
I hope today’s post has answered your questions about the pain associated with Coratherapy.
