Hello, this is Dr. Ikdoo Kim from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Gasan Branch.
Acne has troubled many people for a long time.
Not only is acne itself a problem, but acne scars become an even deeper concern.
In particular, pitted scars are difficult to cover even with makeup, making them an even bigger worry.
One of the methods you may choose is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy.
However, treating acne scars is not a short-term process.
In addition to receiving the procedure, how you manage your skin daily
can affect the recovery speed and effectiveness.
Today, I would like to talk about how to manage your skin during the treatment of pitted acne scars
to maximize the treatment effect and shorten the treatment period.

Coratherapy promotes skin regeneration and improves scars.
After the procedure, the skin is sensitive and weakened, so it is necessary to minimize external irritation.
Therefore, it is essential to use sunscreen for at least 2-3 days after the procedure.
Since the skin is red and sensitive, exposure to sunlight may cause pigmentation.
Thorough moisturizing is also important.
After the procedure, the skin may become dry, so applying enough moisturizer to protect the skin barrier is necessary.
Lastly, excessive stimulation can hinder skin regeneration,
so when washing your face, do it gently and use lukewarm water instead of hot water.

The redness that appears after the procedure is one of the natural reactions and will fade over time.
However, if not properly managed, it can lead to inflammation or pigmentation, so careful management is necessary.
Since the skin is particularly sensitive,
it is better not to use irritating products such as scrubs or peeling products.
If the redness persists for too long, it is helpful to soothe it with cold compresses.
Using a towel soaked in cold water or an ice pack for about 10-15 minutes
can help reduce the redness.
However, do not apply ice or ice packs directly to the skin; use a cloth
to apply the compress indirectly for safety.
Intense exercise can promote blood circulation and worsen the redness.
After Coratherapy, light activities such as walking are recommended,
and high-temperature environments like saunas or steam rooms should be avoided
as they can irritate the skin and worsen the redness.

Treating acne scars requires not only procedures but also daily care.
Practicing lifestyle habits that promote skin regeneration can enhance the treatment effect.
First, the skin regenerates during sleep,
so getting 7-8 hours of sufficient sleep daily is crucial.
Additionally, to replenish moisture in the skin, it is good to develop a habit of drinking more than 2 liters of water a day.
Skin regeneration requires various nutrients,
so consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is beneficial.
Lastly, smoking and excessive drinking are major factors that harm skin health,
so it is best to avoid smoking and alcohol as much as possible.

Treating acne scars does not rely solely on procedures.
When combined with the patient’s own care and lifestyle habits, better results can be achieved.
By practicing proper care and precautions that promote skin regeneration,
you can recover healthy skin more quickly.
