Hello, I am Dr. Sangwoo Jung from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Hongdae Branch. Many people think that old scars are difficult to treat, but in fact, the duration of the scar and its treatability are not significantly related. Today, I would like to introduce a patient who had a depressed scar caused by a scratch during childhood. Although the overall skin condition was good, the noticeable scratch scar on the cheek caused discomfort. Therefore, I would like to share how Coratherapy can help in the recovery of old depressed scars.

Case :: Depressed scar on the cheek caused by a scratch

History :: Long, old scratch scar with overall good skin condition

Report :: 6 sessions of Coratherapy

The patient’s scar was old and relatively long, but since the depth of the scar was not severe and it had a mild boxcar shape, we anticipated good treatment results. Therefore, at Rodam, we recommended Coratherapy to the patient and planned a total of six treatment sessions.

Coratherapy uses specialized needles to break the adhesion in the scar area, encouraging regenerative substances to fill the space and regenerate the skin. Since the treatment relies on the skin’s regenerative power, the improvement is gradual rather than immediate after the first one or two sessions. However, once the skin is regenerated, the improvement is long-lasting.

After the fourth session, you can clearly see the effectiveness of the treatment. Even though the planned sessions were not yet completed, the depth of the scar had noticeably reduced, and the boundary with the surrounding skin had started to soften. This improvement will be even more evident after completing all six sessions.

After completing all six sessions, the depth and color difference of the scar were significantly improved. Especially, the boundary of the scar became smoother, and the overall skin texture improved. Coratherapy is effective for treating depressed scars and allows for customized approaches tailored to each individual’s skin condition and scar type. Of course, treatment results may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and the severity of the scar. Nevertheless, we recommend Coratherapy because it provides customized treatment through regenerative power.
