Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, starting with Coratherapy to remove scars.
Acne scars are categorized into ice pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars depending on their shape.
Among these, ice pick scars are known to be the most difficult to treat.
Today, we will explain why that is, along with the definition of ice pick scars
and their treatment methods, and show you the effectiveness of Coratherapy
through actual treatment photos.

What are Ice Pick Scars? Definition and Treatment Methods

Ice pick scars are deep and narrow scars on the skin surface that appear as if pierced by an ice pick.
They usually occur after severe acne, where the skin tissue is deeply damaged.
Such scars are often difficult to heal naturally due to the damage extending deep into the skin.
Therefore, medical intervention is necessary to improve ice pick scars.
However, ice pick scars are characterized by having a narrow opening and a deep base,
making collagen regeneration challenging and the recovery process difficult to assess.
As a result, they are considered the most challenging type of acne scars to treat.
Moreover, treatments need to be meticulously tailored to the depth of the scars,
making methods like lasers or chemical peels limited in their effectiveness.

In such cases, we recommend Coratherapy.
Coratherapy is a Korean medicine approach to scar treatment that
stimulates the scars directly using needles to promote skin regeneration
and encourage the growth of new tissue in the scarred area.
Especially, Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic’s Coratherapy utilizes specially designed needles
to not just pierce the scars but sculpt them,
making it an effective treatment method for depressed scars regardless of their shape.

As seen in the photos, even after just two sessions, the ice pick scars showed significant improvement,
and by the sixth session, it became difficult to identify where the scars were.

This particular patient experienced rapid results with Coratherapy,
but generally, acne scars are not completely treatable in a short period.
However, with consistent care through Coratherapy,
depressed acne scars can be significantly improved.
