Acne Scar Treatment in Seoul

Yeouido & Yeongdeungpo DAMI Skin Clinic

Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin during the healing process. While active acne may disappear, depressed scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and pigmentation can remain for years if left untreated. At DAMI Skin Clinic, we believe there is no single treatment that works for every acne scar. Instead, our physicians perform a detailed skin analysis to identify your scar type and develop a customized combination treatment plan that promotes collagen remodeling, skin regeneration, and long-term improvement.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when inflammation destroys collagen and normal skin tissue. As the skin heals, the body may produce either too little collagen, resulting in depressed scars, or too much collagen, leading to raised scars.

Several factors increase the risk of acne scarring, including:

• Severe inflammatory acne
• Cystic acne
• Delayed acne treatment
• Picking or squeezing pimples
• Recurrent acne breakouts
• Individual healing response
• Genetics

Early treatment of active acne can help reduce the likelihood of permanent scarring.

Types of Acne Scars We Treat

Because different scars require different treatment methods, identifying the scar type is essential.

We commonly treat:

• Ice pick scars
• Boxcar scars
• Rolling scars
• Mixed acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Acne pigmentation
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Red acne marks
• Uneven skin texture

Many patients have a combination of several scar types, making combination therapy the most effective approach.

Personalized Acne Scar Assessment

Every acne scar treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation.

Our physicians carefully evaluate:

• Scar type
• Scar depth
• Skin thickness
• Skin sensitivity
• Collagen quality
• Pigmentation
• Pore size
• Active acne
• Previous treatment history
• Individual treatment goals

Based on this assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that safely stimulates collagen production while minimizing downtime.

Advanced Acne Scar Treatments

Depending on your scar type and skin condition, treatment may include:

• RF Microneedling
• Pico Laser
• Fractional Laser Resurfacing
• Subcision
• Rejuran
• Rejuran Skin Booster
• ECM Skin Booster
• Juvelook
• LDM Water Drop Lifting
• Medical Skincare
• Collagen Stimulation Treatments

Each procedure targets different layers of the skin, allowing us to personalize treatment according to the severity and type of acne scars.

Combination Therapy for Better Results

Most acne scars improve best with combination therapy rather than a single treatment.

Popular combinations include:

• RF Microneedling + Rejuran
• Pico Laser + Rejuran Skin Booster
• Fractional Laser + ECM Skin Booster
• Subcision + Juvelook
• Pico Laser + LDM Water Drop Lifting
• RF Microneedling + Pico Laser
• Rejuran + Medical Skincare

These personalized combinations stimulate collagen remodeling while improving skin texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and overall skin quality simultaneously.

Benefits of Acne Scar Treatment

Personalized acne scar treatment may help improve:

• Depressed acne scars
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Acne pigmentation
• Red acne marks
• Skin smoothness
• Collagen production
• Skin elasticity
• Overall skin quality
• Long-term skin regeneration
• Natural-looking improvement

Because collagen remodeling continues after treatment, skin quality often continues improving over several months.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies depending on the treatment performed.

Patients may experience:

• Mild redness
• Temporary swelling
• Dryness
• Flaking
• Mild sensitivity

Most treatments involve only minimal downtime, while stronger resurfacing procedures may require several days of recovery. Collagen production continues over the following months, producing gradual and natural-looking improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best treatment for acne scars?

The best treatment depends on the type and severity of your scars. Rolling scars may benefit from subcision, while ice pick or boxcar scars may require fractional laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, Pico Laser, regenerative skin boosters, or customized combination therapy.

Can deep acne scars be improved?

Yes. Although deep scars cannot usually be completely removed, they can often be significantly improved through collagen stimulation and combination treatments such as RF microneedling, subcision, laser resurfacing, and regenerative injections.

How many acne scar treatments are needed?

Most patients require multiple treatment sessions because collagen remodeling occurs gradually. The exact number depends on scar depth, scar type, skin quality, and treatment goals.

Can acne scar treatment improve enlarged pores?

Yes. Treatments that stimulate collagen production, including RF microneedling, Pico Laser, Rejuran, and regenerative skin boosters, may also improve enlarged pores and overall skin texture.

Is acne scar treatment painful?

Most procedures are well tolerated. Topical numbing cream is routinely applied before treatment, and some procedures may include local anesthesia depending on the treatment performed.

Is there downtime?

Downtime varies according to the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur temporarily, while stronger laser resurfacing treatments generally require a longer recovery period.

Can acne scar treatment be combined with skin boosters?

Yes. Rejuran, ECM Skin Booster, Juvelook, and other regenerative treatments are commonly combined with laser procedures to improve collagen production, skin healing, and long-term skin quality.

Can acne scars be completely removed?

Most acne scars can be significantly improved but cannot usually be completely eliminated. The goal is smoother skin, improved texture, and gradual collagen remodeling.

Is acne scar treatment suitable for international patients?

Yes. DAMI Skin Clinic welcomes international patients and provides English-friendly consultations with personalized acne scar treatment plans in Seoul.
