Hello, this is Dr. Sangyeop Lee from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic Suwon branch.
Many of you are struggling with acne, right?
Not only do many people feel stressed about acne itself, but they also struggle with the marks left behind after the acne disappears.
One of those marks is “depressed scars.”
Depressed scars appear as indentations on the skin’s surface, and many people consider various treatments to address them.
Today, we will learn about Coratherapy and Juvelook, which are known to be particularly effective treatments for depressed scars. By reading this post, you will better understand which treatment is suitable for you.
Which treatment is more effective: Coratherapy or Juvelook?
The two most frequently mentioned treatments for depressed scars are Coratherapy and Juvelook.
Coratherapy is a treatment based on Korean medicine that stimulates the skin with micro-needles to enhance the skin’s natural recovery ability.
During the treatment, collagen and elastin are generated, helping to fill in the depressed scars.
It is particularly suitable for individuals with thin and sensitive skin, and long-term regeneration effects can be expected.
Juvelook is a treatment that directly fills the skin with volume.
The PDLLA component fills the scarred area and induces regeneration of the surrounding tissues, providing noticeable results in a short period.
It is especially suitable for deep and wide scars and is recommended for those who need immediate changes.
So, which of these treatments is more effective for scar treatment?
To answer this, it is essential to understand the process of scar healing.
<< Stages of Scar Treatment >>
- Releasing the fibrous bands adhered within the scar and loosening the skin that is stuck together
- Creating space under the scar by making a wound in the shape of the scar to allow new skin to regenerate
- Allowing regenerative substances to flow into the created space, continuously regenerating the skin and filling it with new tissue
Coratherapy directly performs the first and second stages while inducing the third stage.
On the other hand, Juvelook focuses on the third stage, making it a supplementary treatment for scar healing.
In conclusion, Coratherapy and Juvelook are not treatments to be compared as to which is better.
Instead, they are simply different treatment options to be chosen based on individual skin conditions and the severity of the scars.
Comparison of Regenerative Substances in Coratherapy and Juvelook
Juvelook is based on the PDLLA component, which promotes the regeneration of the extracellular matrix.
It contains collagen and elastin, allowing for a mechanical volumizing effect.
Thus, Juvelook is suitable for those who want immediate improvement or need to quickly restore skin volume by injecting regenerative substances directly.
However, since it involves introducing foreign substances, there is a potential risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
The regenerative substance in Coratherapy, autologous blood, contains various growth factors and cytokines such as PDGF, EGF, VEGF, and FGF, which help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Because it uses autologous blood, the risk of rejection or allergic reactions is minimized.
However, redness may occur, and if there are many inflammatory substances in the blood, the regenerative ability may be somewhat reduced.
In summary, Juvelook is suitable for immediate improvement, while Coratherapy is ideal for those who want natural recovery without side effects.
For Those Considering Treatment for Depressed Scars
