Hello, this is Dr. Eunbyeol So, a scar-removal specialist at Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil branch.
Today, I would like to introduce a case where a scar caused by chickenpox a month ago was treated early.
Scars caused by chickenpox and shingles can become harder and more difficult to treat over time, so early treatment is very important.
In this case, I will share a positive outcome achieved through prompt treatment.
The protagonist of this case is a woman in her 20s who was in a state of significantly reduced immunity due to chronic fatigue.
About a month ago, she developed four chickenpox scars on her forehead, each about the size of a fingernail.
Chickenpox or shingles scars can deepen and become more noticeable over time, so the patient opted for early treatment.
After 3 sessions of Coratherapy
Case :: Chickenpox scars on the forehead
History :: Scars one month old, no prior treatment
Report :: 10 sessions of Coratherapy
When the patient first visited, there were four depressed chickenpox scars on her forehead, each about the size of a fingernail.
The patient was very concerned that the scars might become more noticeable over time, so we recommended Coratherapy, a traditional Korean treatment method.
Coratherapy is a procedure that stimulates skin regeneration around the scar, helping damaged skin tissue recover and promoting the rapid growth of new skin. Especially when performed in the early stages of scar formation, Coratherapy can be highly effective.
3rd session
After the 3rd session, the depth of the scars gradually lessened, and skin regeneration around the scars began to be noticeable.
In particular, the inflammation in the chickenpox scars was significantly reduced after just three sessions.
By starting the treatment before the scar tissue hardened and turned white, the base of the depressed scars began to show a pinkish tone, indicating new skin growth.
The patient also expressed satisfaction as she could visibly notice the changes in her skin.
10th session
By the 10th session, the depth of the scars had significantly reduced, and the skin tone had become more even.
The scarred areas blended naturally with the surrounding skin, recovering into healthy skin.
Compared to the initial visit, the scars were barely noticeable, showing remarkable improvement.
<Key Treatment Points>
1. Importance of early treatment
Starting treatment in the early stages of scar formation can prevent the hardening and deepening of scar tissue over time.
2. Effectiveness of Coratherapy
Coratherapy promotes skin regeneration in the scarred area, effectively aiding in the recovery of damaged tissue.
The number of treatments required may vary depending on the depth and size of the scar, but consistent treatment can lead to satisfactory results.
3. Customized treatment for each individual
Scar treatment varies depending on the patient’s skin condition, as well as the size and depth of the scar.
Results may also differ from person to person.
Therefore, it is important to consult with a specialist to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Scars are not only physical marks on the skin but can also have a significant psychological impact.
However, it’s important to remember that scars can be improved with proper treatment.
As shown in this case, early treatment can help alleviate concerns about scars more quickly.
I hope today’s case provides helpful insights for those struggling with scars.
