Hello, this is Dr. Jeong Dongbin from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic Gangnam branch.
It is natural to experience redness and swelling after receiving Coratherapy treatment.
However, even though it is a natural phenomenon, many people worry about whether it might leave another scar,
and we receive many questions about this.
Therefore, today I would like to talk about what Coratherapy is,
as well as the redness and swelling that occur after the treatment.

What is Coratherapy?

Also known as Coratherapy, Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy has been a scar treatment procedure since 2006,
and it is a traditional Korean medicine treatment method that promotes skin regeneration.
Coratherapy uses fine needles to stimulate blood circulation in the damaged area of the skin,
creating an environment where the skin can regenerate itself,
and guiding the damaged skin to regenerate naturally.
Since this procedure treats scars by enhancing the skin’s regenerative ability,
it is expected to fill in depressed scar areas with new skin,
and it has the advantage of causing fewer allergic reactions or side effects as no other medications are used.

Redness and Swelling

Since Coratherapy promotes skin regeneration by giving micro-stimulation to the skin,
redness and swelling may occur during this process, but these are natural phenomena during the treatment.
Redness and swelling appear as the skin tries to recover itself,
and while there may be individual differences, redness generally subsides significantly within 3 to 7 days,
to the point where it can be sufficiently covered with light makeup.
Swelling often disappears within 1 to 2 weeks.
There may be slight differences depending on the individual’s skin condition,
and the recovery speed can vary depending on how well you manage your skin after the treatment,
so it is important to take meticulous care after the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care

To enhance the treatment effect,
it is recommended to avoid using irritating cosmetics such as peeling and scrubbing products and to use mild products instead.
Apply sunscreen thoroughly,
keep your skin moisturized with a regenerating cream to prevent dryness,
maintain sufficient water intake and a balanced diet.
Additionally, getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep is also important.

Coratherapy is a treatment method that requires consistency and meticulousness.
If you carefully manage your skin after the treatment,
you will be able to regain smoother skin more quickly.
