Hello, this is Dr. Lee Seungyeop from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Nowon branch, specializing in scar removal.
Today’s case involves a patient who visited us after developing a deep scar from squeezing sebum with her hands.
She was particularly distressed as a deep hole-like scar appeared next to her nose,
and before the procedure, she was worried about whether the regeneration process would be slow
or if the treatment would be ineffective.

Deep hole-shaped scars may not show noticeable changes in the early stages of treatment.
However, over time, the base gradually rises and
there is a high possibility that it can be sufficiently filled.

Case :: Deep cheek scar

History :: Female in her 50s
Developed a deep scar from squeezing sebum with her hands

Report :: 6 sessions of Coratherapy performed

After the 5th session of Coratherapy

This is a photo taken after the 5th session.
Before starting the treatment, I explained to the patient that after 6 sessions,
we would assess whether additional sessions were needed.

However, the improvement was faster than expected, and the treatment was concluded after 6 sessions.
This was a case of treating a deep hole-shaped scar in a woman in her 50s.

Coratherapy, which can improve even deep scars,
is a Korean medicine treatment that promotes skin regeneration to improve indented scars.
Based on the principles of Korean medicine, it activates the skin’s regenerative power,
helping to repair damaged skin.
By inducing internal skin regeneration,
new skin fills the treated area, gradually fading the scar.

<Key Points>

First, while deep scars may seem difficult to treat,
they can be effectively treated with Coratherapy.
Due to the nature of the scar, changes may be slow in the beginning,
but as the base rises and the process accelerates, it can be sufficiently filled.

Second, regarding age.
At Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, we see patients ranging from 7-year-old children to those in their 70s.
Rather than age-related differences in regenerative ability,
the characteristics, shape, and depth of the scar have a greater impact on treatment outcomes.
If you are worried that your age might slow down your regeneration
or make the treatment ineffective, please remember that treatment is definitely possible.

With consistent management through Coratherapy, indented scars can show significant improvement.
There is always a solution if you do not give up on scar treatment.

I hope today’s post helped ease your concerns about acne scars.
