Hello, this is Dr. Seungyeop Lee from Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic Nowon Branch, specializing in scar removal.
Chickenpox commonly occurs during childhood, and even after recovery,
it often leaves deep, indented scars that become a long-term skin concern for many.
These scars are difficult to fade naturally over time, so treatment is necessary.
While there are various methods such as lasers, fillers, and Juvelook,
for more fundamental treatment, choosing Coratherapy is recommended.
I will explain this in detail through a case where positive results were achieved with Coratherapy treatment.

What are the characteristics of chickenpox scars?

Chickenpox is a contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus,
and it is characterized by the possibility of leaving deep scars even after treatment.
Typically, chickenpox scars remain in a round shape,
and since they often occur during childhood when the immune system is weak,
they are usually old scars, leading many to worry, “Is it difficult to treat old scars?”
You don’t need to worry too much about this.
Coratherapy is particularly effective for scars with clear boundaries, such as chickenpox scars,
and in most cases, treatment progresses well.
However, areas with less flesh, such as around the eyes, lips, and nose,
may require more treatment sessions due to lower regenerative capacity.

Case :: Indented scar around the eye caused by chickenpox

History :: Old scar, deep and white-colored scar

Report :: 7 sessions of Coratherapy conducted

Today’s case is about a patient with indented scars on the face caused by chickenpox.
The patient had suffered from chickenpox during childhood,
leaving indented scars around the eyes and cheeks, which led to a loss of confidence.
In particular, the scars were more noticeable due to the difference in skin tone.

Starting from the third session, the indented scars began to slightly fill in,
and the skin texture became more refined.

From the fifth session, the indented areas visibly reduced,
and by the end of the seventh session, the scars were barely noticeable.
This demonstrates that Coratherapy is highly effective in treating chickenpox scars.
So why is Coratherapy particularly effective for chickenpox scars?

<Why Coratherapy is effective for chickenpox scars>

1. It directly addresses the structural characteristics of chickenpox scars.
: Chickenpox scars are caused by inflammation within the skin, leading to the loss and clumping of the dermis.
Coratherapy stimulates these clumped connective tissues, helping new skin regenerate beneath the scars.

2. It induces treatment effects solely through the skin’s natural regenerative ability without inserting foreign substances.
: This method aids skin recovery naturally, which is one of the reasons for the high satisfaction among patients.

What are the key points in treating chickenpox scars?

To share the key points of Coratherapy treatment,
while the shape and location of the scars may vary, chickenpox scar treatment with Coratherapy
has two main characteristics.

First, the speed at which the flesh fills in differs for each scar area,
so adjusting the intensity of the treatment is crucial, and detailed finishing procedures are also important.
Additionally, chickenpox scars are prone to hypopigmentation, where the area turns white.
Since Coratherapy focuses on treating indented scars, this aspect
is challenging to improve, so it is recommended to proceed with treatment with this in mind.

Indented scars on the face and chickenpox scars can affect not only appearance but also confidence.
However, these scars can be effectively treated through Coratherapy.
Even old scars have the potential for improvement,
so if you are concerned, we recommend visiting Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation.
