Hello, this is Dr. Jeong Dongbin from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic in Gangnam.
Have you ever heard of the term Coratherapy?
Some of you may be hearing this term for the first time, while others may already be familiar with it.
Coratherapy literally means acupuncture treatment that creates new skin.
However, if it were merely about inserting needles, Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic would not have been able to accompany you for 20 years.
Therefore, today I would like to explain in detail about Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy.

What is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy?

Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy originated in 2006 under the name “Skin Regeneration Magician Cafe” and
was officially trademarked in 2007 under the name ‘Coratherapy’.
Coratherapy is an abbreviation for ‘Collagen Regeneration Acupuncture’, emphasizing that it is an acupuncture treatment focused on collagen regeneration in the dermal layer of the skin.

The unique aspect of Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy is the use of specially designed ‘incision needles’.
These needles are bent in an ‘L’ shape and are used to delicately incise the fibroblasts adhered to the epidermal and subcutaneous layers beneath the skin scars.
At Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, we use these incision needles to perform a customized treatment called ‘Cross Acupuncture Technique’ based on the patient’s type, length, width, depth of skin scars, and skin regeneration ability.
The Cross Acupuncture Technique is not just about inserting needles but involves rotational and cross stimulation to maximize the regenerative effect. It allows for stimulation of each depressed scar by adjusting the depth, angle, and direction.
This technique is effective for treating various types of depressed scars such as acne scars, chickenpox/shingles scars, surgical/plastic surgery scars, and more.
Additionally, it is effective for other scars like scars from mole removal, nail scratches, pore scars, and depressed scars after surgery, with high satisfaction rates.

The treatment principle of Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy can be more clearly understood through the diagram below.

Treatment Principle of Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy

Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy involves a process where new skin fills in and dead skin cells shed with repeated treatments.
The goal of the treatment is to regenerate the scarred area to the same level as the surrounding normal skin. This is not about simply swelling the area or filling it with external substances but about
breaking the collagen adhesion within the scar, creating space for regeneration, and inducing the skin’s natural regenerative ability.
This method allows new skin tissue to fill in through the skin’s regenerative power.

As a result, the treated area does not sink or revert over time, maintaining the effects. Additionally, since the treatment targets only the depressed scar areas, it does not make the skin sensitive or damage the surrounding normal skin tissue, which is a significant advantage.

Not just depressed scars, but all skin concerns at Rodam!

At Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, we have been treating skin concerns such as acne scars and pore issues along with scar treatments for over 10 years.
However, many people still think that skin treatments are only possible at dermatology clinics.
Skin characteristics vary greatly from person to person, and the treatment that suits each individual is also different.
So, rather than limiting yourself to a narrow range of treatment options, we hope you explore various methods to resolve all your skin concerns.

For scars that you thought you had to carry for life, we hope you consider improving them with Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy.
