Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic Jamsil Branch, specializing in scar removal.
Scars caused by scratches or indentations on the face during childhood play, especially nail scratches, can significantly affect one’s impression if left untreated for a long time.
As a result, many people wish to remove such scars but worry about whether treatment is possible due to the size of the scar.
Today, we will introduce a case where a childhood nail scratch scar was significantly improved through Coratherapy, along with before-and-after photos.

Case :: A nail scratch indentation scar on the cheekbone from age 7

History :: No prior treatment experience

Report :: 10 sessions of Coratherapy

The patient, in their 30s, visited Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic to treat a nail scratch scar on their cheekbone that occurred at age 7.
While it was not considered a big deal during childhood, the scar began to bother them as they entered social life, causing stress due to the impression that it made their appearance seem sharper.
The patient’s scar was caused by a nail scratch that did not heal properly, leaving a mark.
Such scars occur when the skin tissue is damaged and heals improperly, resulting in a texture and color different from the surrounding skin.
The scar was not only indented compared to the normal skin but also appeared uneven and bumpy. Therefore, the initial sessions focused on raising the base of the indentation, while the later sessions worked on blending the scar with the surrounding skin.

From the 4th session, the skin around the scar began to feel smoother, and the depth of the scar slightly improved, making the boundary with the surrounding skin less noticeable.
This improvement became more evident after the 9th session.
The scar gradually faded, and the overall skin surface became smoother, which satisfied the patient.
However, as some unevenness remained, the 10th session included additional blending to minimize the difference with the normal skin.
Even old scars can be significantly improved if the underlying causes are addressed and proper recovery is achieved.

However, scar treatment requires consistent care and patient cooperation.
During treatment, it is essential to avoid strong stimulation or scratching of the scarred area.
After treatment, applying moisturizer and sunscreen diligently to aid skin regeneration is crucial.
Additionally, consulting with medical professionals to determine the appropriate treatment direction based on the scar’s condition and progress is important.
