Scar Regeneration Acupuncture, smoothing out indented marks

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Needle (Subcision) Treatment Approach

* Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's 3-Step New Skin Needle Treatment Process

Step 1 – Superficial Adhesion Release

Widespread fibrous adhesions beneath the skin surface are precisely separated with fine needles.

By delicately breaking the fine fibrous structures that pull the scar area downwards,

the appearance of indented scars can be naturally improved.

Step 2 – Deep Adhesion Release

Solid adhesive tissue located deep beneath the dermal layer

is gently released over a wide area using a cannula.

Unlike the Nokor needle used in the past (which was large and caused severe bruising and pain), this method reduces the burden of bruising and pain.

This treatment is suitable for widespread scars such as rolling scars and boxcar scars.

It is an important process that contributes to reducing bruising and pain after the procedure.

Step 3 – Tissue Regeneration Promotion (Microneedle Application)

In the final step, microneedles are used to intentionally induce micro-bleeding within the tissue.

This creates an environment where blood flow and growth factors can gather,

which can help stimulate fibroblasts and promote collagen regeneration.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Needle treatment is based on combination therapy.

We provide systematic combination therapy to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce the burden of recovery time.

① PDRN Injection Concomitant (DNA Injection Treatment)

We always administer PDRN injections concurrently with all new skin needle treatments.

This can help promote wound healing and reduce the possibility of post-treatment redness and hyperpigmentation.

It is an important process that strengthens the regenerative capacity of scar tissue and is provided as a standard, not an option.

② Er:YAG Fraxel Combination for Rapid Recovery

Subcision focuses on improving the structure of the deep layers of the skin.

However, it is difficult to directly refine the skin texture or fine irregularities on the surface.

For this reason, we always combine Er:YAG Fraxel after subcision treatment.

Er:YAG Fraxel acts on the superficial layers of the skin and can contribute to improving surface texture, pores, and finely indented areas.

This can enhance the overall improvement effect of the treatment while reducing the burden of the recovery period.

What should be considered for Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's New Skin Needle Treatment?

*Treatment Design Based on Anatomical Knowledge

We take an approach that goes beyond simply 'treating deeply'.

We determine which skin layer the adhesion is in, and in which direction it should be released,

and proceed with a treatment plan established after an accurate diagnosis.

*Utilizing Precise Treatment Techniques and Tools

By combining precise tools such as various needles, cannulas, and microneedles,

we focus on reducing post-treatment discomforts such as bruising, swelling, and pain, while maintaining the effectiveness of the treatment.

*Importance of Combining PDRN and Fraxel Treatments

Combination therapy, which aids patients' recovery abilities and enhances treatment efficiency,

is not an option but an essential basic process for our medical staff.

*Accurate Diagnosis and Exclusion of Unnecessary Procedures

Subcision treatment is not suitable for all scar types.

For scars that frankly don't require treatment, we advise patients that it's perfectly fine not to proceed.

As medical professionals, we believe that an objective assessment of the patient's condition must precede any treatment recommendations.

What is New Skin Needle Treatment?

Scars often appear to be pulled downwards from deep within the skin.

Although the skin appears sunken on the surface, beneath the dermis layer,

fibrous tissues act like cords, pulling the skin of the scarred area downwards.

These fibrous adhesions must be released for the sunken skin to return to its original position.

New Skin Needle, or subcision treatment, serves to release these adhesive structures that pull the skin downwards.

How New Skin Needle Works

1. Release of Adherent Tissue (Release)

Fibrous adherent tissue located deep within the skin

is carefully separated using a fine needle or cannula.

→ As the structures pulling the skin are released, depressed scars can gradually rise.

2. Micro-Blood Induction (Regeneration Signal)

The minute blood reaction occurring during the process of separating adherent tissue

can provide crucial stimulation necessary for collagen production.

→ This promotes the activity of fibroblasts, creating an environment where new skin tissue can regenerate around the scar.

3. Promotion of Blood Circulation and Tissue Regeneration

If necessary, microneedling treatment and PDRN (DNA injection) may be applied together.

This induces a concentrated influx of blood flow and regenerative cells to the treated area,

and can help activate wound healing and collagen production simultaneously.

Which types of scars can be considered for New Skin Needle Treatment?

Depressed scars on the forehead that appear as if they were indented

Scars around the temples that appear sunken or irregular

Depressed scars on the nose that resemble one, two, or multiple dots

Complex scars on both cheeks, appearing in various forms such as depressed or indented marks

Understanding Multi-Layer New Skin Needle Treatment (Er-YAG Shouldering Combination Treatment that addresses the limitations of conventional New Skin Needle)

This method combines conventional New Skin Needle, or subcision treatment, with the shouldering technique to enhance its effectiveness.

An important aspect of scar improvement is not merely releasing the adherent tissue beneath the scar.

Even if the underlying adhesions are released with subcision, scars with distinct and deep borders may face difficulties in smooth skin regeneration.

The human body shows a natural tendency to restore damaged areas to a height and texture similar to the surrounding skin.

However, if the scar's borders are abruptly disrupted, this natural regeneration process may not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, the 'shouldering' process, which delicately refines and smooths the scar edges, is crucial.

Undergoing the shouldering process reduces the height difference with the surrounding skin, allowing the scar area to connect more naturally with the adjacent contours as it fills in, leading to a less noticeable result visually.

In fact, there are many cases where satisfactory improvement was not achieved with conventional New Skin Needle treatment alone, which is deeply related to this point.

No matter how much adhesion is released, if the scar's border remains like a wall, it can ultimately limit the skin regeneration process. 

Therefore, shouldering can be considered an important step that complements the limitations of conventional treatments for improving depressed scars with clear borders. 

Types suitable for Multi-Layer New Skin Needle Treatment

1) Those who have not achieved desired improvement with conventional New Skin Needle treatment or general scar treatments alone

Despite having received subcision or laser treatment, some individuals worry that their scar area has not filled in as much as expected.

This is because even if the adhesions under the scar have been released, if the surrounding scar boundaries remain steep, it is difficult for the skin tissue to naturally fill in.

In such cases, by smoothing the scar boundaries with a 'shouldering' procedure, you can expect more satisfactory improvement.

The second case is when a scar is deeply indented, with clear and steep boundaries.

Especially for scars with deep, sharp boundaries, like boxcar scars, even if new skin fills in from within,

the side boundaries remain firm like a wall, hindering normal skin regeneration.

In such cases, applying Erbium Yag 'shouldering' to gently refine the scar boundaries can help to naturally harmonize the height difference with the surrounding skin.

The third case is for those who wish to experience skin improvement with fewer sessions than traditional 'Saesalchim' (new skin needle) treatments.

While traditional Saesalchim expects gradual effects over multiple sessions, 'Multi-Saesalchim' comprehensively manages three elements at once: adhesions under the scar, the side boundaries, and the surface.

Due to this approach, it is expected that changes can be experienced with fewer sessions compared to conventional Saesalchim treatments.
